Can Corrigan Brothers do an Obama in UK Election


From the US Presidential Election to the UK 'S Norwich North Bye Election

Last year their song took the world by storm. The Corrigan Brothers "There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama" was an international hit and hs reached almost six million youtube hits. Several academics have claimed that the song greatly contributed to President Obama's inauguration, many claiming that it "internationalises" him. President Obama showed his thanks by inviting the Irish Brothers to play at three inauguration events in Washington DC last January. The Brothers have received two messages of thanks from Obama and the President loves the song. On Saint Patrick's day last, Irish Prime Minister presented President Obama a copy of the song in the White House.

Now the Corrigan Brothers are involved in an election campaighn in the UK . Craig Murray is a Scottish dissident, human rightsactivist, writer, and former British Ambassador. He iscurrently Rector of the University of Dundee and anHonorary Research Fellow at the University of LancasterSchool of Law.He is also an independent candidate in the upcoming Norwich North By Election and has requested the Corrigan Brother's "MP Expenses Song" as his campaign song.

The Corrigan Brothers were delighted to oblige and will perform the song with Chris on the capaign trail. Ger Corrigan lead singer with Corrigan Brothers said, "We are delighted to assist a man of Craig's integrity and allow him exclusive permission to use our song, having followed the shame of the expenses scandal closely we feel that Craig represents the only real alternative to the greed and embarassment we have witnessed recently". Ger Corrigan went on to say "The last guy that we wrote a song for went on to become President of the United States and invited us to his inauguration. We hope to be there for Craig's inauguration once he succeeds in Norwich North".
