IN CASE YOU have been living in the sea, Ed Sheeran is coming to Cork city to play 3 gigs over the weekend. This is a pretty big deal for Cork with reports of booked out hotels and restaurant reservations at sky high levels. They haven’t been this excited since Kerry lost the All Ireland final to Dublin in 2015.

Cork is blasting his songs out using the only medium grand enough for it.. The Shandon Church Bells.
The cafés are getting in on the action.
The pubs are at it too.
Ciaran is hoping his long lost cousin @edsheeran from across the water pops in for a decent pint of #Murphys over the weekend.#PureCork! #EdCork #EdSheeran #Cork #FamilyReunion pic.twitter.com/8ZuSHBo6qv
