There’s nothing like a bit of music to lift the mood, but a man recently left people floored when he started singing in London. A clip has gone viral after a man burst into song while enjoying a pint in the city, and it’s fair to say the moment left people taken aback.
He started to sing an Irish folk song, and it wasn’t long before onlookers started to go wild. They simply couldn’t believe who was in their presence, with many left in awe, as they never expected to see a major celebrity – never mind get to hear one sing too.
It’s not the first time such an incident has been reported either. Previously, people were left stunned when a stranger started playing a piano in a shopping centre.
What happened?
Sharing footage of the incredible scene people are talking about, the London Irish Centre posted on Instagram: “I never see you at the club. I never see you at the London Irish Centre, screaming ‘The Rattlin’ Bog’ with Prime Time Emmy Award Winner Chris O’Dowd.”
The actor made an appearance at the venue on Camden Square, and he absolutely brought the house down. The crowd’s ecstatic reaction said it all.
Unsurprisingly, the video has sparked enormous buzz online, with thousands viewing the footage since it was posted.
One viewer wrote: “Looks like a hoot! Did Chris sing the album version or the radio edit?”
Another gushed: “He’s a legend.” A third responded: “I’ve never been more jealous.”
Meanwhile, a fourth person commented: “The definition of craic!” Another simply noted: “Amazing.”
For those unfamiliar, “The Rattlin’ Bog” is a traditional Irish folk song that has been sung and cherished for generations across the globe.
