Thanks to the Irish Examiner for making us cover stars on their national weekend magazine! We sat down with them recently to discuss our favourite experiences at Irish Summer festivals.

Warriors Of The Light | Charity Gig

The last gig of our Irish tour was a surprise performance in Fumbally Cafe, Dublin for Mental Health awareness. It was unplanned on our part, but once we heard what the night was about we had to say yes. The incredible event, "Warriors Of The Light" was organised by Dublin footballer Kevin McManamon, Mark Swaine and their friends with all proceeds going to Aware. 

It was an intimate, honest and sincere night of stories, poetry, music and inspirational talks by some of Ireland's best. Discussions around Emotional Wellness still faces many obstacles today, but events like this help to tear them down and provide new avenues towards healing. For us, music has always been a way to deal with these issues and we were honoured and inspired to share our songs and experiences.

Stay tuned to the Warriors of The Light page for more events like this.

Chris messaged us recently to let us know that himself and his partner Lana are big fans of our music. Our track "On Tangled Shores" is "their song" and holds a special meaning to them, as it was the song that they were listening to when they first received the news that they were expecting. One year later, and with baby Harry now in the mix, Chris got in touch with us to see if we would help him ask Lana a very special question. We joined him and Harry at their home to set up a surprise message for Lana.

Cry Monster Cry | Starling (Official Music Video)

This video was filmed by the supremely talented duo, Leo and Diana from Around The World In 80 Music Videos. They travel the world and choose a select few bands in each country to collaborate with and we were lucky enough to work with them on this concept. 

The video was done in one single shot high in the Dublin Mountains in Ireland and stars our friends, among them the talented Luke Howard. We appreciate any Reblogs and hope you enjoy
