Hi Everyone.
I was hoping that someone here could tell me the name of the artist that sings "Galway Girl". My daughter and I were in Ireland (greatest place ever) in May and heard it on the radio. Since then we've looked and the only artist we can find is Steve Earle, but it isn't the same one that we heard on the radio there.

Thanks in advance.beer

Hi,

I downloaded the version that I found from him (I confess that I didn't know he was American) but it wasn't the same one, I guess there may be several different versions so I'll keep trying.
I will say that the girls (in Galway) absolutely loved the songdancing And I enjoyed singing it along with them.
Thanks for your help.
