Westlife perform concert for Obama

Westlife have appeared at a peace concert for Barack Obama.

The Irish group performed in Oslo for the President as he waited to accept his Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaking to The Sun, Westlife member Nicky Byrne described Obama as "very personable".

"It was amazing," he said. "As soon as we mentioned we were from Ireland he spoke of his Irish roots and said we should go for a Guinness."

Byrne's bandmate Shane Filan added: "He seemed really cool. Next time we're in Washington we're going to hook up with him."

Recent reports have suggested that Susan Boyle has also been invited to perform for the Obamas.
