Last October, 11-year-old Robert Scanlon and 16-year-old Harrison Dhodo from Celbridge went viral with this rather amazing video of themselves singing We Found Love.

It got international attention, with coverage on CBS News among other international sites.

Well, Robert and Harrison are now part of a five-person group, Fresh Re. They describe themselves as “the hottest new young band in Ireland”:

Their debut single Young just came out. Oh, and it’s now at the top of the iTunes R&B chart…

… just above a little number called Blurred Lines.

Here’s the video for Young:

Robert is still a wee dote. And a great voice he has too.

Fresh Re are playing the Academy 2 in Dublin on December 21. Up Celbridge!

Rihanna’s We Found Love… covered excellently by two kids from Kildare>
