Irish artists young and old have joined forces to record a song in aid of protests against US President George Bush's forthcoming visit to Ireland, it was announced today.

Folk singer Christy Moore and songwriter Damien Rice will debut the track Lonely Soldier at an event organised by the Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM).

A host of prominent musicians will perform at the concert, hoping to promote the Stop Bush campaign.

Moore said the right to protest was incredibly important.

2. Think this will cause the Freepers to...

...stop drinking Irish Whiskey and beer? Goddess I hope so. It's a waste of good booze when they drink it and it would mean more for me. If ya'll are lucky I might even share the surplus.

:) :beer: :) Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, beer.

e-mail friends in Ireland to ask them to send over a copy when it's avavilable.

BTW Christy Moore rocks!!!!!

4. Maith sibh, a Christy agus Damien!

Good on you both! I hope it's on a recording I can order from Ireland (don't expect it in an American store anytime soon...)

I love the name of the event!

I, too, am writing to a friend in Eire to get me a copy of the single.

I'm especially proud to be Irish right now!!!
