Catfish & The Bottlemen have now released a video which shows in full Ewan McGregor’s acoustic cover of their ‘Hourglass‘ single.

It can be seen on Live4ever below.

McGregor was enlisted by the band in May for the track’s official video, when frontman Van McCann enthused:

“He’s the most interesting and interested guy I’ve ever met. He’s just fucking brilliant. Total gentleman! He genuinely buzzes off the band. Sends me photos of him listening to us before he walks onstage on his endless run of sold out Broadway.”

“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 fucking class craic.”

The short clip of McGregor’s own take which feature on the original promo is now available in its entirety.
