Written in the Stars’ Recognised by DesignRush

We’re delighted to share that our music video for Written In The Stars – performed by Sharon Shannon Big Band featuring Jack Maher and Carol Keogh – has been featured by Design Rush, as one of their Best Creative Video Designs.
The video was filmed at Grouse Lodge Studios during the recording of the single, created in support of the Irish Hospice Foundation’s “Time to Reflect”, campaign. The entire project came together at short notice, and we’re incredibly proud of how it turned out – thanks in no small part to the brilliant artists, crew, and collaborators involved.

This recognition feels particularly meaningful given the spirit behind the song. “Written in the Stars” is a poignant tribute to love, memory, and loss – created through a series of moving coincidences that brought the right people together at the right time. It’s a reminder of how storytelling and music can hold space for reflection and healing.
