Interestingly, Ed Sheeran teamed up with Beoga for this song so it could well be about Niamh.
However, a few things don't add up. Although she does play the fiddle, she is from Limerick and not Galway. She also just got married in January so either the encounter described in the song happened a long time ago or Ed's imagination ran wild.
Speaking to RTÉ Niamh said:
"I'm so happy with Galway Girl, Ed Sheeran knows how to write a great pop song and it's so catchy. As for being the inspiration I dunno if you could go that far really, Christ almighty and I a Limerick woman! My sister said she knew straight away it couldn't be about me when later in the song she beats him at darts and pool."Sounds like we're just going to have to hear it from the man himself if we want a definitive answer.
