who did ed sheeran write galway girl for
Galway Girl (Ed Sheeran song) In an interview with The Irish Times, Sheeran said that the opening line of the song, "She played the fiddle in an Irish band", was inspired by Niamh Dunne of Beoga, however, the rest of the song was made up and not about anyone in particular (Dunne is from County Limerick and married an Irishman).[9][11] According to Sheeran, he had to fight his record label to keep the song on his album: "They were really, really against 'Galway Girl', because apparently folk music isn't cool."[12][13] The song went on to become the third most streamed song from รท on Spotify.[14]
