Ed Sheeran today released the new video for his song, ‘Galway Girl’, featuring a\u00a0who’s who of Irish entertainment, and shot by the singer himself.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Starring actress Saoirse Ronan, best known for her Academy Award nominated role in ‘Brooklyn’ last year, the clip was videoed by Sheeran himself, and reads like a who’s who of Irish entertainment.<\/p>\n

Also featured are Hector\u00a0\u00d3 hEochag\u00e1in and Tommy Tiernan, who have worked together on Irish radio station i102-104FM. ‘Love\/Hate’ actor Peter Coonan\u00a0is there as well.<\/p>\n

Shot in Galway City, the video has cameos from\u00a0other members of Sheeran’s family, including his cousins Murray Cummings:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Laura Sheeran<\/a>, a singer in her own right:<\/p>\n

Saoirse Ronan of course went with Ed Sheeran and his friends John and Edward Grimes, aka Jedward, to catch Apella’s\u00a0show at Whelans Rock Club, after Ed’s own sell-out performance at the nearby 3Arena. It’s well known that Ed Sheeran has been close to the Dublin twins for a number of years, but Saoirse has known them for nearly as long, and has\u00a0worked with them on several occasions, including the ISPCC Anti-Bullying campaign in 2011, and the Cinemagic Awards in Belfast, in 2012.<\/p>\n

When we were in Dublin last week we caught up with Apella, and asked them what it was like when Ed Sheeran rocked up to his show with his friends:<\/p>\n
