http://www.irishcentral.com/news/New-Irish-anthem-of-hope-to-be-presented-to-President-Barack-Obama-185860312.html

President Barack Obama will be presented with a new Irish anthem for hope on the day of his White House inauguration later this month.

Musician Brendan Keeley is travelling across Ireland gathering support for his new anthem ‘We Will Be Strong.'

He plans to record the song in Offaly before President Obama’s famous cousin Henry Healy brings it to the inauguration ceremony on January 19th.

The best selling singer-songwriter has told the Irish Times that he is ‘on a mission’ to raise Irish spirits with an uplifting anthem.

Sports heroes have already backed Keeley’s project and many plan to attend the recording.
He confirmed: “The event has also been endorsed by industry and organisations up and down the country.”
