WATCH: Ed Sheeran sang the original Galway Girl last night and it went down a storm

Mixing the old with the new…

You may have heard a whisper about it? Or two? Or three? But Ed Sheeran was playing in the 3Arena in Dublin on Wednesday night in the first of two sold-out nights at the venue.

It doesn’t need to be repeated that Ed Sheeran is a big deal in Ireland at the minute but… he’s a big deal.

His performance last night went down a treat with fans and with another show on Thursday, there’s going to be a lot of happy music fans leaving the 3Arena.

He recorded his ‘Galway Girl’ music video in O’Connor’s pub in Galway earlier this week and huge crowds showed up to see the singer as he went back to his old stomping ground to busk in the street.

In the 3Arena on Wednesday, he brought trad band Beoga out on stage and broke into a rendition of Mundy’s Galway Girl mixed in with his own song of the same name.
