Conor Quinn has had one of his band\u2019s songs featured on Virgin Media\u2019s new TV advert for their autumn season. Conor has had a successful music career to date, having featured on The Voice of Ireland in 2013.<\/p>\n
He has also been in a couple of bands, one of which is \u2018White Chalk\u2019, whose song featured in the ad.<\/p>\n
The band released their debut album, \u2018Golden Kids\u2019 in 2019. It went to number one on the Apple iTunes chart then, and still gaining traction now, a track is being used in a Virgin Media advert.<\/p>\n
\u2018White Chalk\u2019 disbanded in 2016, and Conor looks back fondly on that period with his first band: \u201cThe lead single from Golden Kids ended up getting to number one on the Apple iTunes chart, which was unbelievable for us. We didn\u2019t expect it at all, and on the back of it, we got to go on tour with a lot of different big acts. \u201cWe ended up supporting Kodaline and James Bay, but we disbanded in 2016, and a lot of the members ended up going on to form Good Strangers, which I am in now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Conor explained how he felt when the broadcaster came knocking.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all still friends, and in the summer I was contacted by Virgin Media and they wanted to use our first single, \u2018Architects\u2019, on their media campaign and promos for their autumn and winter shows.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was all very random and out of the blue, but we really were delighted.\u201d<\/p>\n
It has prompted Conor and his former band mates to release Golden Kids anew, to make the most of the advert being aired.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpotify wasn\u2019t really a thing back then \u2013 there wasn\u2019t really an online streaming platform that was popular, apart from iTunes.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo to coincide with the ad, we decided to re-release Golden Kids as a deluxe edition remastered version with 12 tracks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are five tracks on there that were on Golden Kids, but there are also new tracks that were never released originally.\u201d<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t the first time that \u2018Architects\u2019 from the \u2018Golden Kids\u2019 EP has been used on television. It was featured on Sky Sports and RT\u00c9, and was a mainstay on the likes of 2FM.<\/p>\n
Besides gaining recognition for a fantastic album and an impressive period in Conor\u2019s career, he intends on pushing forward with Good Strangers and his own solo career. Conor has been working hard on his first solo project over the last year, and that will be released early next year.<\/p>\n
