Laura Izibor receives invitation to The White House

Every St. Patricks Day, the American President hosts a celebration of all things Irish, with a traditional hand-over of shamrock from the Taoiseach. But this year he will be joined by Meteor Award winner/Choice Award nominee Laura Izibor.

Laura, whose debut album Let the Truth be Told reached Top 30 on the US Billboard mainstream chart and No. 2 in Ireland, is currently on tour across the US. She will be joined by Irish golfer Padraic Harrington and champion female boxer Katie Taylor for the event.
