Limerick's the Corrigan Brothers creating a stir with "Jesus Freak" song
THE IRISH music group the Corrigan Brothers, who unexpectedly scored
a massive international hit with their song "There's No One As Irish
As Barak Obama" (five million hits on YouTube), are now causing huge
interest with the song "Jesus Freak" from the band's new album. Said
the band's Ger Corrigan, "I was in London for a weekend and on Oxford
Street an elderly man was holding a sign saying 'the end is nigh.' He
was mostly being ignored but he did try to engage with everyone who
passed. I engaged in conversation with him and he told me that he
dedicated his life to spreading the Lords' message. When I got home I
wrote the song with my brothers Brian and Donny. His perseverance
inspired me!" "Jesus Freak" is currently getting plays on Aled Jones'
Good Morning Sunday programme on BBC Radio 2, Jones describing it as
"the song that the whole of Britain is going crazy for."
