Ed Sheeran films Galway Girl video in Galway

Ed Sheeran fans lined the streets of Galway, Ireland on Tuesday to be in his music video for 'Galway Girl'. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter took to Instagram yesterday to share a photo of a large group of school children stood behind barriers waving to him, and he thanked them for taking part in the promo clip for his smash hit song from his record-breaking LP 'Divide'. Alongside the picture, he wrote: "Thank you to Galway and all the wonderful people in it for helping us shoot a music video yesterday x (sic)" Several images have appeared online from the shoot, including the city's Salthill House. The 'Shape of You' hitmaker performed at Dublin's 3Arena last evening. Ed and the woman who inspired the track co-wrote the song together. Niamh Dunne from the band Beoga previously revealed how she ended up writing a song about herself after becoming the inspiration for the flame-haired singer's popular track. She said: "I am in a band called Beoga and we actually co-wrote the song with Ed. We were over in Suffolk last year recording with him, so that was kind of when the song came together. I suppose I was in front of him so he just wrote a song about what was in front of him so that was how it came about. "It started with a mutual friend of ours, Foy Vance. They were on tour together and they played some of Beoga's tracks in the van together and Ed liked it so when he was making his new album he emailed us and asked if we would be up for doing some recording."
