To celebrate St Patrick's Day tonight's show will feature the best Irish artists of all time. Just as you don't actually have to be a Christian to get Christmas presents you don't actually have to be Irish to celebrate St Pat's day.
The Obamas have dyed the fountain in front of the White House green for the day as seemingly Michelle was inspired by their home town of Chicago which famously dyes the river green every year to celebrate. The Americans are even more passionate than the Irish about it and when I was on holiday there last week I did sit down to coffee and a St Patrick's Doughnut which was covered in green and white sprinkles. No doubt the shamrock green food colouring was full of diddley-diddley-dee numbers!
I'm toying with the idea of including artists of Irish origin on tonight's show as well. We've already been asked for Declan Patrick Aloysius MacManus and Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien ( Elvis and Dusty of course) and should anybody feel inclined to ask for Steven Patrick Morrissey then of course that suggestion would be warmly welcomed around here.
