Ed Sheeran, the chart-smashing pop star with 4 dates at Dublin's O2 this October, dropped about 150 jaws when he showed up for a 2 hour set in Doyles last night.

The secret show was run by the Ruby Sessions, which Ed himself reckons are his favourite shows of the year.

Played a secret gig for the @Rubysessions last night in Dublin. Always the best gigs of the year for me http://t.co/yyuFYCbTUG

Funnily enough, the current Hot Press cover star should be about town again today as he's set to play HMV on Henry Street this afternoon.
