About Galway Girl

"Galway Girl" is a song by Ed Sheeran, released in 2017 as the third single from his album ÷. Created in collaboration with Irish folk band Beoga, the track is heavily influenced by Irish traditional music, blending acoustic energy with fiddle-driven arrangements. For electric guitar players, it offers an engaging challenge in replicating its folk-rock rhythm feel and capturing the lively, upbeat strumming patterns that define its distinctive sound.

  • The song was co-written and recorded with Irish folk band Beoga, giving it an authentic traditional Irish music foundation.
  • Ed Sheeran announced the single on Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March 2017, a fitting release date for its Irish-themed content.
  • The track appears on Ed Sheeran's 2017 album ÷ (Divide), which features a mix of acoustic and folk-influenced styles.
