Ellie and Louise Macnamara of HEATHERS said: “We are absolutely delighted that the Irish Film Board have chosen Waiter to soundtrack their new promotional video celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Irish Film Board. Being huge movie fans ourselves, we couldn’t think of a better use for one of our songs. And we are especially proud that one of our tracks is being associated with the Irish film industry in this way”.
The single WAITER is released nationwide today.
HEATHERS also performed a cover of Katy Perry's single 'ROAR' in studio - listen back here
