Lesley Roy’s U2 Cover To Open Sunday’s New York City Marathon

Lesley Roy checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@lesleyroy) on Saturday (November 1), ahead of a television appearance on Sunday. The Irish pop singer tells readers:

Hey everybody hope you all had good fun last night for Halloween!!! Just wanted to let you all know I just finished an acoustic cover of U2’s ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’ that’s going to play at the opening of the NYC Marathon tomorrow!!! It will air nationally on NBC Sports at 3:00 p.m.

IMG approached me a few weeks back to see if I had any covers in mind that would suit the marathon so I looked through my iPod and started listening to some old U2 material and felt that ‘Where The Streets..’ would be perfect!!!

Anyway the footage that we shot and song will air tomorrow, let me know what you guys think!

Hope your all well and thanks again for all the continued support!!!
Much Love,
