We knew Storm Keating had a fine set of pipes on her, but we had no idea that she possessed songwriting skills like her husband, Ronan.
The mum-of-two has teamed up with her beloved hubby to pen a special song in tribute to his late brother, Ciarán, who, in 2023, was killed in a car accident while travelling with his wife to watch their son play for Cork City.
Storm shared that the creative juices were flowing this weekend, something they weren’t expecting, as Ronan has been struggling to articulate the loss in the form of a song since his brother’s passing.

On Saturday, Storm shared a snap of Ronan in the swing of things with his little helpers, their children, Cooper and Coco, by his side.
‘So we just went and wrote a new song,’ she wrote. ‘Had a late night last night with my brother and sister-in-law, so today was one of those unusually slow Saturdays, feeling very sorry for ourselves.’

‘For all intents and purposes, it was supposed to be a write off, but randomly by mid-afternoon we started humming a melody that turned into lyrics and then six hours later – it was a song.’
Storm continued: ‘And not just any song, something that @rokeating has been trying to write since we lost Ciaran, his eldest brother.’

‘I mean… just like that…. stuck for so long and then on one hangover after a night spent having heartfelt conversations with two of our nearest and dearest… it just flowed,’ Storm said in disbelief.
‘All of it. We were in our own world and even the kids couldn’t break our rhythm (as you can see from Coco’s orange post-it notes – she really would have preferred if we’d play handball with her).’

‘Looking forward to putting this one down on track and @rokeating sharing it with you all in due course,’ Storm wrote, before sweetly concluding: ‘For anyone who has lost someone they love, this will be one for you xx.’
We can’t wait to hear it, we have our tissues at the ready!
