Northern Irish country artist Catherine McGrath has shared her new video for single "Talk of This Town" and you can watch it first via The Independent.

Recently signed to Warner Bros, McGrath is seen during the earliest stages of her career to where she is now, as a promising young artist poised to join the best of the UK's growing country music scene.

She has written with some of Nashville's finest, from Liz Rose (Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert) to Jeffrey Steele (Tim McGraw, LeeAnn Rimes) and that flair for songwriting really comes through in this new song.

Q&A with Catherine McGrath

What are you listening to at the moment?

I'm absolutely loving Kelsea Ballerini's 'High School' - the lyrics to her songs always tell really great stories.

What are your plans for the rest of 2017

I'm just putting the finishing touches on my debut studio album due for release in early 2018 and I'm also heading back out on tour with Picture This and Dan & Shay which I’m so excited about! I had an amazing time on tour with Picture This earlier on this year so I'm delighted they asked me back.

What was the first gig you played and what’s been the best so far

I'm pretty sure my first gig would have been at one of the pubs back home in Ireland, but my favourite gig so far has been Country 2 Country festival back in March at the O2. There were so many country fans there, and I couldn't believe people actually knew the lyrics to my songs! It was a really cool experience!
