A top Irish violinist has been invited to play at President-Elect Joe Biden’s inauguration in January.
Patricia Treacy was personally requested by Mr Biden, four years after she performed for him during his visit to his ancestral home of Co. Louth.
Patricia, from Blackrock in Louth, said: “I feel both honoured and privileged and obviously super excited.
“It always brings me a great sense of pride to be able to represent Ireland. My first thought was to share the news with my mother, who I owe my talent to, as she was my inspiration with an amazing singing voice and musical talents of her own.
Biden is set to be sworn into office on January 20 following his victory in this month’s presidential election.
The Democratic Party leader frequently referenced his Irish Catholic roots while on the campaign trail.
