LIMERICK based band The Corrigan Brothers will entertain Barack Obama when he arrives in Moneygall on Monday.
Brothers Gerard, Brian and Donncha Corrigan had a huge hit in the US with their song There’s No One as Irish as Barack O’Bama.
The song that celebrates Obama’s ancestry in Moneygall now has over 1 million hits on Youtube.
Speaking to the Limerick Post from Moneygall, Ger Corrigan said:
“We’ve been down here planning for over a week. There is huge international media attention in this trip.
“Today we have been interviewed by CBS, Russian TV and The Today Show for NBC. On Monday we will be performing on live broadcasts for TV links in the US.
“We will also be playing for Irish radio stations and French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese broadcasters”.
The group will return to the USA later in the year to play 10 dates at the start of Obama’s next presidential campaign.
