The Grammy winning singer-songwriter shared a video on his Instagram on Monday of his performance of "Galway Girl" at The Dubliner, accompanied by Irish folk band Beoga.
The English pop star teased the appearance on his Instagram Story with a post reading, 'Meet me in the pub tonight,' over a picture of him showing off a Celtics jersey.

I spent £7.6k fixing my saggy Traitors face – trolls think I'm vain but my man says I look 20 again, says Amanda Lovett
The reality icon revealed she was AWAKE for the procedure that took five hours to complete TWO FACE I spent £7.6k fixing my saggy Traitors face – trolls think I'm vain but my man says I look 20 again, says Amanda Lovett Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SETTLING down to watch the first season of The Traitors, Amanda Lovett was eager to see how her character unfolded throughout the hit series. The 57-year-old became a standout success on the BBC show, winning the nation's heart as the 'loveliest yet most fierce competitor' in the debut season of the BAFTA award-winning programme. 10 Amanda Lovett is feeling like a new woman after her face and neck lift Credit: Dan Jones Images 10 She appeared on season one of The Traitor's Credit: Instagram 10 The mum got rid of her sagging skin around her jaw Credit: Dan Jones Images However, no matter how much her character triumphed over the rest in the series, there was one thing Amanda couldn't take her eyes off – her jawline and 'sagging' skin. The mum-of-five and grandmother-of-six had always been dedicated to caring for her skin, investing in expensive creams and undergoing facial threading – a non-surgical procedure designed to lift sagging, ageing skin and stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance. Yet, despite spending £500 to £650 per session on the procedure, as well as splashing out on high-end creams, Amanda found that the effects were only temporary. Within a couple of months, gravity would take over, and her face would begin to droop again - so, she decided to do something about it. Amanda, who lives with her husband, Justin Jones, in Swansea, Wales, opted for a neck and lower facelift. She explains: 'I was looking at myself on the camera, and I kept seeing myself at all these different angles that I had never seen before, as it's so different to having a picture taken. 'I noticed my face and neck were just getting saggier and saggier. 'I started to think about needing to wear a scarf or polo necks just to hide this area of my body that I didn't like. 'But then I thought, why should I do that when there is help out there that can sort this issue out and take the years back a bit?' So October last year, Amanda decided to book an appointment with celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr Carlo at the Signature Clinic in London and document her journey in the new series Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, available to watch on ITVX from Thursday (12 June). Tulisa Contostavlos discovers cause of 12-year health battle that left her in 'horrific pain and fearing for her face' 'I told him I wasn't happy with my jowls and my neck,' she explains. 'He said that he could sort it, but added that I didn't actually need anything done higher up on my face - as I also flagged that I didn't want to look like I had been in a wind tunnel or like I had been sucked by a Henry Hoover. 'I just wanted a more enhanced look, and so he suggested a neck and lower facelift, rather than a full facelift.' The cosmetic procedure cost £7,600 and took between four to five hours to complete - all while Amanda was awake under local anaesthetic. They put these tiny little barbed wire threads into the tiny veins in your face Amanda Lovett 'I was a bit apprehensive at first - I wondered how bad it would be choosing to be awake rather than asleep, but it really wasn't that bad. It felt like a lot of tugging, pulling and tugging. 'Dr Carlo was talking me through every step of the surgery. I found it comforting - I even dozed off at one point.' It took three to four weeks for the swelling to go down for Amanda and three months to fully recover from surgery. She says: 'It takes time to heal, but I was back going out with friends after three weeks. 10 Amanda feared she'd have to hide her neck with scarves and polo necks Credit: Instagram 10 Amanda was awake at the time of her surgery 10 She explained that it felt like her face was being tugged 10 The grandmother was able to view the results straight after 'Now I haven't got a scar or anything. It's absolutely amazing.' Amanda couldn't believe the results, especially when compared to her previous thread facelift. She says: 'The thread facelift was definitely more uncomfortable than getting a facelift. 'They put these tiny little barbed wire threads into the tiny veins in your face, and they lift the thread, so they pull your skin right back. Drooping skin 'They say it's supposed to last for about two years, but I think mine lasted about six months before the results had disappeared and your face is dropping down again, as the threads dissolve in your face.' Despite being apprehensive at first, her children have loved how happy it has made her - and it has reignited a spark with her builder husband, Justin, as well. 'I met my husband when I was 16, and now he keeps saying to me I look like I was 20 again. 'In the morning, when I haven't got makeup on, he'll be complimenting me, telling me how young I look. It's so lovely. 'Other friends and family members are telling me that I have definitely knocked off 10 years. Whether I'm in a nursing home or not, I'll be having my eyelashes, my extensions done, it'll all be done Amanda Lovett 'However, I did have one comment asking if I didn't want to 'grow old gracefully,' but just because I want to look after myself and make myself look better, why does that mean it's not growing old gracefully? That's silly.' Overall, Amanda is thrilled with the results as she has found a new lease of life again. 'I feel amazing within my body now, I am absolutely thrilled with the results,' she explains. 'I think cosmetic surgery used to be so frowned upon for people my age, or seen as something vain or only celebrities do, but it's not. If a woman wants to go and do it, while feeling good about herself, then why not? 'We all need to be holding each other's crown and encouraging each other to do what it takes to feel confident again. 10 Amanda cosies up to Simon Cowell Credit: Instagram 10 Amanda holding a BAFTA award after series one Credit: Instagram 10 Amanda feels like a new woman with her latest transformation Credit: Amanda Lovett 'Joan Collins is my idol, and no one ever says she's not ageing gracefully. 'I've told my children and my grandchildren, I think Joan Collins is absolutely fantastic. 'She's still beautiful, she's still glamorous, and I say to them, that's how I'm going to be. 'Whether I'm in a nursing home or not, I'll be having my eyelashes, my extensions done, it'll all be done.'

Top of the Pops presenter who was as famous as Zoe Ball on 'what went wrong'
Sarah Cawood was a regular face on our TV screens in the 1990s, but now she's living a very different life away from the cameras Sarah Cawood was one of the biggest TV hosts of the '90s and a key presenter on Top of The Pops. But her life has changed dramatically two decades after her big break. Sarah's first major role was in children's television for Nickelodeon in the '90s, and just two years later she secured a presenting job on Channel 4's The Girlie Show alongside Sara Cox. The programme ran for two series and followed a magazine format, featuring interviews, live music and stunts. The show aired at the late 'post-pub' slot of 11pm on Fridays, aiming to be edgier than its competitors and capitalising on the 'ladette' culture that defined the decade. She then joined the revamped Live and Kicking programme for its final two years on air. Her most significant role came when she landed a spot on Top of The Pops. After her stint ended, she went on to present various mini-series and one-offs, including co-commentating the Eurovision semi-finals in 2007, 2009 and 2010. However, around this time, many of the big presenting opportunities began to dwindle, with Sarah joining Heart East Anglia's breakfast show team for a year in 2014 before leaving to focus on caring for her children, reports the Daily Record. In 2022 Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer - but thankfully she was treated and given the all-clear. Earlier this year, the star opened up about her health struggles on social media, expressing fears about her breast cancer returning. "This is the reality of anyone who has had any kind of cancer," she said. "I never struggled with health anxiety before but post-breast cancer it's all-consuming and it wears me out a bit tbh. "I have been feeling tired since the new year began and although it's probably just life-ing, there's always a niggling worry that it's back. "All I can do is carry on doing healthy things, moving my body, practising mindfulness and living each day with gratitude that I got to breathe again this morning. "So on we go! Batting away those intrusive thoughts and getting on with it. To anyone either going through a cancer diagnosis or anyone who has recovered from cancer and feels like this: I've got you, and my inbox is always open. "And remember, anything that doesn't feel right: get it checked out. Early detection is key." Reflecting on her television career in another heartfelt Instagram message, she shared insights into her acceptance of being 'unsuccessful' on TV, adding: "Do I miss telly? I miss the money! And yes, sometimes I wonder what went wrong, but I'm here now so I'm going to make the most of it, however, that looks".

Frankie Bridge's £39 River Island skirt can be styled 'so many ways'
Frankie Bridge is one of the UK's most stylish women, and is always serving up major fashion inspiration - and this outfit she recently wore is from River Island TV personality and fashion favourite Frankie Bridge has once again proven why she's a go-to for warm-weather style inspiration. In a recent Instagram post, she debuted a look that she hailed as 'perfect' for a city break - and best of all, every piece is from high street favourite River Island. Giving us all the Italian Riviera vibes, Frankie stepped out in River Island's White A-Line Poplin Midi Skirt, which costs £39. White cotton skirts dominated Instagram in summer 2024, and are very much back for 2025, making it a smart investment for anyone looking to build a capsule warm-weather wardrobe. With its elasticated hem and classic midi length, the skirt is as comfortable as it is elegant, made from 100% cotton making it ideal for beating the heat. As we've learned from influencers over the last 12 months, it really is a versatile summer staple, with Frankie noting: 'The skirt can be restyled SO many ways over summer.' Elsewhere, New Look has this White Pleated Midi Skirt for £29.99, while Mango's flared cotton skirt is £45.99, available in white, black or red. At Boden, the Double Cloth Smocked Skirt comes in at £66, but for something more budget friendly, M&S's Pure Cotton Shirred Midi A-Line Skirt is under £30. But the fact that so many high street retailers are stocking them cements them as a go-to trend for the season. The 36-year-old paired the skirt with a Black Sleeveless Textured Trim Bandeau Top for £26. The beaded notch detail and side split hem add an elevated twist to the minimalist bandeau cut, which is an insanely sought-after silhouette this year. Frankie shared her thoughts on the top, saying: 'Love the top and the detailing.' She added: 'If you're on a city break then this is the perfect outfit. Stay cool in the heat but still look put together.' Accessorising the look, she added a Black Mini Raffia Cross Body Tote Bag featuring a front flap with popper fastening, gold branding detail, and a convenient crossbody strap, as well as a pair of Black Toe Thong Wedge Heeled Sandals (£38), ideal for the petite 5'3' presenter with their 12cm heel. Completing the look with the retailer's £14 Black Cat Eye Slim Chain Sunglasses, Frankie commented: 'I feel very chic in this, it's a nice little dinner outfit.' And we couldn't agree more, with both capsule wardrobe staples prime for styling with basically anything you already own. Frankie isn't the only ex-Saturdays singer that's a fan of River Island, though. Rochelle Humes wore the brand's Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans, priced at £49 for an episode of This Morning last month. She told her fans: "There's a new rule, we didn't used to wear jeans but we can wear jeans now. This is amazing news to me. So these are River Island, they're like a nice barrel cut." But if it's Frankie's summery skirt you're keen to snap up for your latest getaway, shoppers can take a look here.
