[WATCH] Ewan McGregor - Hourglass (Catfish And The Bottlemen Cover)

Ok, so we know that Catfish and The Bottlemen are huge fans of Ewan McGregor, and we know that he's appeared in the video for their latest single "Hourglass". WELL NOW - Ewan has recorded a very special cover of "Hourglass" for the band, as you can see below.

It's no surprise that this has happened as the Scot is a great musician as well as a top notch actor - watch it below.

Catfish and the Bottlemen share video for "Hourglass"

Catfish and the Bottlemen have today shared a brand new video for their track "Hourglass", and being big fans of Ewan McGregor they would love him to officially feature in one of their videos, oh wait... you can watch it below!

Van McCann - "This is one of the best things we’ve been a part of and Honestly working with Sir Ewan was one of the funnest things I think I'll ever get to do. He's the most interesting and interested guy I've ever met. He's just fucking brilliant. Total gentleman! When people tell you not to meet the people you look up to, ARE YA MADDDD!!!!! He genuinely buzzes off the band. Sends me photos of him listening to us before he walks on-stage on his endless run of sold out Broadway. AND HE LIKES MY LYRICS! 

Honestly, I love him. It all makes me laugh my head off! His daughter Clara is a class A photographer as well! The artwork for the single is a photo of me and Ewan that she took! Videos for us are hard as we've got Austin Powers heads but this was just absolutely class craic!
Hope you're all well! We're all buzzing our end with what we've got planned for the rest of this year!
We're also HONOURED to say that due to high demand we've been moved to the MAINSTAGE AT RADIO 1's BIG WEEKEND! First festival of the summer! CAN'T WAIT!!!"
