Ash performed at the recent BBC Music event The Biggest Weekend in Belfast in support of their new album Islands.
The follow-up to 2015’s Kablammo! launched earlier this month and included guest appearances from Damian O’Neill and Michael Bradley from The Undertones, who played on the album’s lead track Buzzkill.
And during their weekend set, the pair joined Ash onstage to play their classic 1978 track Teenage Kicks to a delighted crowd.
Watch a video of the performance below.
Speaking about the collaboration on Buzzkill, Ash vocalist and guitarist Tim Wheeler said: “Having seen The Undertones playing a couple of times recently, I was guiltily thinking how much the backing vocals I’d written for Buzzkill were mimicking their style.
“So I thought it would only be right to ask Damien and Mickey to sing on it and we were honoured when that they said yes, despite all the filthy cussing.
“It’s a fun song and will hopefully ignite a few mosh-pits for us this year.”
Ash will return to the road in August and have dates scheduled in Ireland, the UK and North America. Find a full list of dates below.
