Edinburgh train passengers entertained by accordion-playing Gerry Cinnamon tribute

Edinburgh train passengers were kept entertained by a Gerry Cinnamon impersonator playing an accordion while travelling to Hampden for the singers gig on Saturday night, July 16.

Footage uploaded on TikTok shows a man standing in the aisle of the ScotRail train singing and dancing to Gerry's 'Belter' while playing along on the accordion, as passengers look on in disbelief.

The user who uploaded the video captioned it: "Worth the £14 train ticket," with the man, wearing a cheque shirt with long hair and glasses, seemingly having the time of his life.

Music fans from across the country travelled to a sold-out gig at Hampden on Saturday night, although some ticket issues prevented many from seeing the entirety of the performance. Fortunately, for those who may have missed it, they got their money's worth on the train journey.

Other passengers can be seen filming the hilarious ordeal, while some aren't entertaining the cameo.

Despite not quite knowing all the lyrics, the man doesn't let that get to him and continues thrusting his hips and smiling as the passengers keep him going with a continuous clap.

Gerry Cinnamon fans were kept in anticipation for nearly three years as tickets for the gig originally went on sale before the pandemic, meaning they had a lot of time to prepare and listen to the Scottish singer's music.
