SOMEONE BELIEVING IN YOU: UPLIFTING NEW SINGLE FROM WEEKEND SPECIAL AND CIARAN MORAN
Everyone longs for unconditional love, the sheer emo- tional luxury of having someone believe in you. It seems like a simple need, an uncomplicated request of life. It is a hope that we cling to, even though in reality it is like demanding the sun, the moon
and the stars. Such is the
theme of “Someone Believ-
ing in You”, the latest release
from Weekend Special (fea-
turing Ciarán Moran).
Weekend Special is a song-
writing and production super-
group whose members have
worked in studio or on stage
with the likes of Nick Cave,
INXS, Mary Black and Leslie
Dowdall (In Tua Nua).
Weekend Special’s song-
writing powerhouse is Seán
Silke. With hundreds of com-
positions to his name, Seán’s
work is recognised for its ma-
ture and imaginative lyrics,
aligned with strong hooks and
melodies. Through acute life
observations, every Weekend Special song draws us into a unique moment in time and emotion.
The production team behind the Weekend Special sound is Beardfire Music, consisting of brothers Rohan and Al Healy, and their father David Virgin. They have a com- bined experience of 75 years on stage and in studio, adding up to over two thousand live shows across the globe, including appearances on Irish, French and Aus- tralian TV and The Voice UK in England, five number 1’s on the Australian indie charts, and hundreds of produc- tion and session credits and awards.
Beardfire productions have generated impressive streaming numbers through artists like RUNAH and Pa- tricia Lalor. Their recordings have graced international
radio, including numerous RTE playlists. And their art- ists have been signed by international labels like Motor Music, PR Records Label Group, Bonfire Records, and Atlantic Records (Warner Music Group).
Always keen to work with the cream of Ireland’s singer and songwriter talent, Weekend Special are now collaborating with celebrated Dublin artist Ciarán Moran. Ciarán brings his affecting vocals to the proj- ect , interpreting the sense of longing in Sean’s lyrics like no one else can.
In recent years, Ciarán Moran has been building a loyal fan- base throughout Ireland and beyond, gathering approv- al from audiences in venues such as the Olympia Theatre, Vicar Street , the Academy, Electric Picnic, and a recent sell out show in Whelans. He has supported and shared the stage with Damien Dempsey,
Aslan, Maverick Sabre, Jamie Webster, Bagatelle, and Brian Kennedy. Legendary Irish folk singer, Chris- ty Moore, says of Ciarán - “He writes powerful songs, songs that deserve to be heard, about subjects that very few will write or sing about.”
Someone Believing in You is the second in a series of three Weekend Special songs featuring Ciaran Moran due for release throughout 2022. “Someone Believing in you” is released on all major platforms on August 12th via Beardfire Music. A lyrics video is also available.
“From the first song to the last, the listener is drawn in and captivated. Tasty, enticing, luscious, ‘In The Heart of a Castle’ from Weekend Special is a joy and the best
