Irish National Anthem Performed by 'The Singing Trooper' [VIDEO]

During his 20-year career, Sgt. Daniel Clark performed at over 2,500 events.

Guests attending the annual John P. Ganley St. Patrick's Day Memorial Luncheon Friday were treated to quite the fitting performer as Sgt. Daniel Clark, also known as 'The Singing State Trooper,' flexed his pipes on stage.

Clark, who as a Massachusetts trooper performed in uniform at over 2,500 events during his 20-year career, delivered a rousing rendition of the Ireland National Anthem (in Irish Gaelic, no less) followed by a powerful version of 'The Star Spangled Banner.'

The 24th annual event took place at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem and was well-attended by politicans, town employees, town officials and other community activists.
