VIDEO: ‘Pure famous or something’ Ed Sheeran goes incognito in Aberfeldy

Revellers in Highland Perthshire were left stunned when music star Ed Sheeran held an impromptu gig in their pub.

The Grammy-nominated singer joined 10-piece ska band Victorian Trout Conspiracy on stage at the Breadalbane Arms in Aberfeldy.

After spending the last 12 months touring with Taylor Swift in arenas across America, the 22-year-old was clearly keen to return to his more modest roots.

Although he has a legion of fans around the globe, none of his new bandmates recognised Sheeran until afterwards.

Guitarist and trumpet player Phil Ramsay later told his friends: “Epic acoustic Victorian Trout Conspiracy gig and who shows up and jams Ed Sheeran.

“I was midway through our third set when some boy asked if he could do a wee set. I had nae idea who he was but turns out he’s pure famous or something.”

Sheeran joined in with the band’s own songs, taking a turn on the tambourine and cajon drum before performing his own top 10 hit, You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.

Fortunately, for those who missed out on the intimate Aberfeldy gig, the star will be embarking on a 12-date tour of the UK later this year.
