Mayo’s Win Sparks Classic Song Surge | Belfast News

Mayo’s historic 75-year win sparked an unexpected national celebration as “The Green and Red of Mayo” by The Saw Doctors surged to 1 on Spotify’s Ireland chart—blowing the band’s own minds. Co-founder Leo Moran, though originally skeptical of Mayo’s chances, was overjoyed to be part of this moment, proudly cheering for his neighbors with the same fervor as if Galway had won. The song’s roots trace back to a 1990 boat trip off Mayo’s coast, where Croagh Patrick inspired the lyrics. Now, as the band records their first album in 15 years and gears up for August festivals, the win has ignited a wave of pride and joy across the county.
