Children of the Son Shoot Video in Charleville Castle

Children of the Son, one of Ireland’s hottest new rock bands, have been shooting their latest video in Charleville Castle in Co Offaly. The castle, which is one of Ireland’s leading historic buildings, was built between 1798 and 1812 and has enjoyed a chequered history since then.

The video is for ‘Do You Really Want Me’, one of the tracks they recorded with producer Warren Huart (Aerosmith and The Fray) in LA, late last year. The video was shot using the revolutionary, lightweight Red Cameras.

“It was a great shoot,” a band insider told Hot Press. "The crew are ecstatic. I think we may have even caught a ghost or two!”

Children of the Son are led by the Mathews brothers, Max (20), Art (18) and Jack (15), who is lead singer. The video is directed by Graeme Wells, who has also been shooting footage of the band for a planned documentary. The full crew comprised Graeme Wells (Director), with award-winning Director of Photography, Piaras Mac Cionnaith, lighting cameraman Ronan Fox and cameraman Raja Nundlall.

Charleville Castle is also home to the Castlepalooza Festival, every August.
