WATCH: UK star with Offaly roots shares stunning version of the Fields of Athenry

A UK singing star with deep Offaly roots has shared a spine-tingling version of the Fields of Athenry to mark St Patrick's Day.

Tom Grennan, who recently had a hit with A Little Bit of Love, shared the clip with his social media followers on St Patrick's Day.
