‘Examiner’ viral Coom video is top of Sheeran’s playlist

It’s currently called The Top of Coom but it could arguably become The Castle on the Hill should Ed Sheeran accept an invite to visit the pub that features in his favourite YouTube video, writes Catherine Shanahan    

Eileen Creedon, Top of Coom proprietor, has yet to hear back from the pop superstar after she invited him to visit following his recent appearance on RTÉ’s Late Late Show.

During the show, Sheeran said the YouTube clip, featuring three porter-drinking local men and a bottle-fed lamb, filmed by Irish Examiner photographer Dan Linehan, was “amazing”.
