I’m definitely shooting a video for one of the songs in Ireland and I will be doing a casting because I need proper ceili dancers.”

The song, which features a trad band from Belfast, includes a fiddle, pipe and a bodhran and the popular musician has predicted it will become something of an anthem for his fans.
“We really jam and it’s going to be good. I do think I’ll never be able to play a song in Ireland again because this one will just be the song,” he said.
