Say it ain’t so.
Donald Trump has been forced to scrape the bottom of the barrell to find people willing to play at his US Presidential inauguration on Friday.
3 Doors Down, Toby Keith, The Rockettes, Lee Greenwood and Sam Moore are among the, ahem, stellar musicians booked and it seems there’s been an Irish superstar added to the bill.
According to TMZ, Lord of the Dance himself Michael Flatley will perform a special set for the crowd at the Liberty Ball.
Apparently the Trump camp have wanted to book Flatley for a while, I guess to appeal to that Irish-American population, and a deal was confirmed last night.
The news hasn’t gone down well here at home.
Michael Flatley is dancing at Trump's inauguration? Great choice by Trump. Bad choice by Flatley
