Five things we learned from Ed Sheeran’s Croke Park gigs
Were you one of the lucky 160,000 people that witnessed Ed Sheeran take to the stage of Croker over the weekend?
If so, you may be suffering from post-Ed blues this monday morning? Or maybe you just need a bit of cheering up?
Well, we’ve just the trick - we’ve decided to take the time to to reflect on what we learned from the Ed-cellent concerts.
Engagements, engagements, engagements everywhere.

Not only did Jason from Kodaline propose to his long-term girlfriend Etaoin Corr on stage in front of 80,000 people, Belfast native Ciaran Shortt proposed to his girlfriend Leanne Peoples while Ed sang ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
All the feels.
From having a puck around to singing hits from the Dubliners, we’d nearly claim him as our own.

Looking well Ed, looking well.
Not only did they make a guest appearance Friday night, they took to the stage Saturday night too.
Along with busting out The Auld Triangle with Glen Hansard, as you do. (See number 2.)
The Irish Air Corps took to Twitter to treat us with these spectacular photos of Croke Park from the sky.

Though Ed’s view wasn’t so bad either.
There’s no denying this man's talent; no bells, no whistles, no band - just Ed.
