There’s nothing quite like enjoying a few beverages and belting out some karaoke <\/a>with mates, but what would your reaction be if you discovered the performer was actually a bona fide superstar?<\/p>\n That’s precisely what unfolded for customers at an Oxford Irish-themed establishment, when regulars were treated to a rendition of traditional folk song Handsome Molly at the Half Moon Irish pub<\/a> in St Clement’s. And who was the star to sing it? Well the performance was delivered by none other than Sir Mick Jagger<\/a> himself. The 82-year-old frontman of The Rolling Stones <\/a>was captured on camera performing an impromptu number during a visit to Oxford with his partner, Melanie Hamrick, 38, an American former ballerina.<\/p>\n He left the audience thoroughly impressed with his performance, with one woman posting footage of it, expressing her regret at not being present.<\/p>\n Cinzia Bertano uploaded a clip on Instagram, where numerous people shared their reactions – and they were all positive.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n In the comments, someone wrote: “Mick is sweet, affable, and charming! Tell me, who wouldn’t have wanted him as a teacher at least once, instead of boring music professors?! I certainly would have learned so much more!”<\/p>\n Others commended his “amazing personality,” while also expressing their disappointment at missing the spontaneous performance.<\/p>\n This appearance by Mick Jagger adds to a growing trend of surprise celebrity visits to British pubs, with Shania Twain spotted at the Shacklewell Arms in Dalston, east London, singing Cotton Eyed Joe.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran left students speechless when he turned up to busk on campus earlier this month.<\/p>\n Passersby were thrilled to catch the chart-topping star performing A-Team as they went about their daily routines.<\/p>\n Taking to social media to share the unexpected moment, the university wrote: “Well… this wasn’t on the timetable. A surprise performance from Ed Sheeran on the Waterfront today. Not your average day at the University of Suffolk.”<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Alesha Dixon sent commuters into a frenzy when she took to busking at King’s Cross station last year.<\/p>\n All of these viral videos share one thing in common \u2013 they highlight just how much sheer natural talent these recording artists possess when stripped of professional lighting and equipment.<\/p>\n You truly have to take your hat off to them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The celeb in question was filmed singing traditional folk song Handsome Molly at the pub and punters were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[75],"tags":[18,117,19,17,44974,337,17924,17536,5448,35334],"class_list":["post-530488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mick-jagger","tag-music","tag-pubs","tag-the-rolling-stones","tag-viral","tag-viral-videos"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
