Ed Sheeran shares ‘Galway Girl’ video shot by HIMSELF

Shot in Galway on Ireland’s West coast this month the video features actress Saoirse Ronan.

The video is shot from Ed’s perspective as he walks off on stage and ends up in a rowdy pub before taking to the streets with Saoirse.

The singer announced the track would be his next single last month, after letting the public decide what song they liked best off his latest album ‘Divide’.

As Ed explained to us the day before ‘Divide’ dropped : “I want to wait a couple of weeks and see what reacts in terms of streaming and charts”.

Ed worked closely with Irish folk band Beoga on the track and told us he had to “to fight to get the song on the album because it’s Irish folk music”. He also said it was one of the tracks he was most excited about the world hearing. Ed added: “I just know it’s going to work and I really want people to listen to it and like it.”

Today Ed took to Instagram last month to thank the people of the Galway ‘for helping us shoot a music video yesterday.’
