SAINTS striker Shane Long took the stage to celebrate Ireland's qualification for Euro 2016.
The Irish striker played guitar while Robbie Keane led a sing-song in a Dublin pub last night, with international team mates Robbie Brady and Wes Hoolahan.
The make-shift band led the Auld Dubliner pub in the city's Temple Bar area in a version of the 'Hurler's Daughter' - with the lyrics suitably adapted for football players and fans.
Tipperary-native Long is well known for his musical ability and has even busked on the streets of Dublin before.
The Republic of Ireland secured their place in France next summer with a 2-0 win over Bosnia at the Aviva Stadium on Monday night, thanks to a brace from Jon Walters, sending them through 3-1 on aggregate.
During the qualification process, they beat world champions Germany at the Lansdowne Road venue, thanks to a goal from Shane Long, who Saints signed for £12m in 2014.
Some night in The Auld Dubliner tonight
