A Killarney local who formed a band just weeks before lockdown released a new song on Friday.

Ciaran Quigley is part of a new and upcoming band named Chapter 3 which includes Rob Keating from Cork, and Kyle Duffy from Wicklow.

The group first met on campus in college at MTU Cork School of Music and decided to form the band just two weeks before the global pandemic hit the country. Despite difficult and confusing circumstances, the trio continued their work from home.

“It has been difficult for us especially since we live far away from each other,” Ciaran told the Killarney Advertiser. “We have done the best we could within the circumstances, and we have this song to show off for it."

'Ghosts' their new song was written this time last year, and when they were all able to meet up the band decided to go to Galway, where they met their producer Dave Skelton who helped their song come to fruition. “With his help we got ourselves going,” Ciaran said.

“It’s a summer pop song and it’s about two people that keep seeing each other, but they probably shouldn’t. Their feelings are in the way,” Ciaran added.
The band have high hopes as when permitted, they want to put on a small gig in Cork. They are also releasing another song next month so keep an eye out for that as well.

'Ghosts' will be available on all streaming devices from today and you can follow Chapter 3 on all their socials.
