A magical moment for Grafton Street passers-by!

Who’d have thought that on Friday August 5, while shopping in Grafton Street, we’d come across world-famous stars like Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi singing along?

But that’s what happened to passers-by strolling along Grafton Street at the time.

The two artists began several songs, with a guitar and a microphone. Among the songs performed were Horan’s hit “Slow Hands” and Coldplay’s “Yellow”. They also performed the Scottish singer’s hit “Before You Go”.

For their short set, they were joined by musician Jacob Koopman, who regularly plays on Grafton Street.

The event was widely reported on social networks. Many appreciated the fact that the two artists agreed to try their hand at busking, a very common practice in Ireland, which consists of organizing a street concert.

Many famous artists have tried their hand at it, including Bono and Ed Sheeran before they became household names. The latter still enjoy the experience today, much to the delight of fans!

Earlier that afternoon, Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi were photographed in the town center and at the Guinness Storehouse for a visit dedicated to Guinness beer. It’s sure to please fans of both singers!
