The hopes of Dublin Bruce Springsteen fans were dashed after they rushed to a city centre pub looking for their hero - only to find Dermot Kennedy there instead.
Dublin By Pub initially reported on Twitter that there were long queues outside the Long Hall, which has been visited in the past by the rock n roll singer. Fans began to speculate he was playing an impromptu gig ahead of his sold out concerts in the RDS.
However, the true identity of the mystery patron was revealed to be Dermot Kennedy. And he still delighted fans with a secret gig at the city centre pub, but simultaneously vexed those who were hoping to catch a glimpse of the 'Born to Run' singer.
