Corrigan Brothers- new release “Free Jim McDonald” Listen while wearing your Free Jim McDonald t-shirt.

Corrigan Brothers the Irish Band who had the international hit “There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama” amassing over seven million you tube hits are back with “Free Jim McDonald” an appeal to have the Coronation Street legend and bumbling building society robber freed. With the music of Free Nelson Mandela the Irish brothers are claiming that Jim’s crime was a crime of passion. Lead singer Ger Corrigan said “we don’t condone robbery but Jim’s crime was purely for the LOVE of Elizabeth, so it was”- he had no intention of hurting anyone. In fact a fairer punishment would be five years with Elizabeth, so it would”.
