Scrolling through Facebook I happened upon the massively musically talented The Barcelo Brothers from Galway - the countryside.
Why - if you are an A&R man of the music industry - have one Justin Bieber type when you can have two ? Plus a Jack Black from The School of Rock in the form of their very musical father Miquel, thrown in for good measure, who supports them on guitar.
Rockin' Murrays Hotel Innishboffin
If we are playing Never Have I Ever, well then, never have I ever seen a young fella get a bar going like the one the brothers did recently in Murrays Hotel on Innishboffin Island.
For those of you who did our course Learning to Exhale, a number of you went on the weekend retreats, and Innishboffin is where we held the Healing Retreats.
People came away from that totally transformed. Very, very special and sacred place.
Talent Born & Bred - Not Manufactured
A word of warning to Music Executives - talent like this is born & bred - not manufactured. These kids sound as if they came out of the womb playing the accordion and stringing a guitar.
As they say 'an ounce of breeding is better than a tonne of feeding' and you can see it here. Oh this is good bloodstock & pedigree indeed. Miquel, the father, is a theatre professional, director and musician university trained in Paris who also who has a summer school for youth of theatre, dance and music.
If you watch closely Michael the accordion player is not even thinking about musical notes. His fingers move like magic. Seamus the main singer below shows how they were both born to perform.
Fund The Lads - Go On, Go On, Go On.
There are thousands of Euros in arts funding up for grabs and if the gods of The Art Council are listening, these kids and family are such export material you may need to contact the Export Board and push Kerrygold aside for a few months and give Micheal, Seamus and their father a tour budget to perform in every Irish Embassy in Europe.
Starting with a shin dig at the European Parliament. Perhaps Maria Walsh MEP might get them an EU travel grant? They are after all her constituents. Irish night at the EU Maria?
The Barcelo Brothers - Fashion Icons
The brothers are fast becoming fashion icons too. What with the super cool fedora hats that would make famed milliner to the stars Elvis Pompilio melt and original colour swatches. You can immediately see where all this is going. LA?
Seeing as The Hanson Brothers have retired, The Jonas Brothers have made their millions its time for The Barcelo Brothers. So move over everyone and make room for the accordion.
Put it this way - everything they wear is a million miles away from Dunnes Stores and at the epicentre of Westwood, Levi's, Versace and Gucci.....suave. Even white Dr Martens........ I mean??!!!
These brothers could moonlight as stylists or even creative consultants with brands such as Superdry and Calvin Klein.
Rumours are that they are being sought our for fashion campaigns and Morgan The Agency in Dublin is looking at signing them.
If Louis phones, don't take the call. Insist on talking to the main bitch Simon instead. When you're in talks with aunty Simon make sure you never sell the name.
The New Single - You & Me
For those who would like to support The Barcelo Brothers their new single 'You & Me' is out and available on iTunes featuring Jayme Romain, is now available to stream on all music platforms.
