Sam Ryder stuns Cardiff with unexpected pop-up busking gig in the street

Eurovision star Sam Ryder stunned shoppers in Cardiff Bay as he delivered a surprise pop-up gig to the delight of those in the area who were able to enjoy watching him perform his songs up close and personal.

The 33-year-old singer songwriter, who came second representing the United Kingdom at the last instalment of the famous song contest, created a no-frills busking set up near The Dock where he performed his best-known hit to date, Spaceman, together with an array of his other songs.

He told those who had gathered to watch him: "We just thought we would come down here and sing some songs, the album comes out on December 9. You can do a lot on social media, but there's something more special about music when you actually get it to the people."
