Sometimes moments unfold that we never expect to happen, and that’s exactly what occurred when a man recently burst into song in London. A clip has recently gone viral after a man started singing at a London venue, but people were floored when they realised who he was.
He suddenly started performing a popular Irish folk song, and the crowd quickly went wild, even though they were shocked to discover who was singing before them. It was a moment many will likely never forget as it was so unexpected – it just goes to show you never know when you’re going to come into contact with a major celebrity.
It’s not the first time people have been taken by surprise in the city either. Concert goers were also recently startled when they realised who was dancing near them at a Jay Z gig.
Over a clip of the moment, the London Irish Centre wrote 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 seemed to make an appearance at the venue, which is located on Camden Square, and he clearly brought the house down. You only need to look at the crowd’s reaction to see that.
Naturally, the video has triggered a lot of conversation. Thousands of people have viewed the video since it’s been shared.
One said: “Looks like a hoot! Did Chris sing the album version or the radio edit?”
Another added: “He’s a legend.” A third replied: “I’ve never been more jealous.”
Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “The definition of craic!” One more also noted: “Amazing.”
For those who don’t know, “The Rattlin’ Bog” is a traditional Irish folk song. It has been sung and enjoyed for generations around the world.
