The performances came just days before the band are due to set off on their European tour.


The lads kicked off their surprise appearances in Galway on Saturday morning, performing outside popular city centre pub Tig Cóilí.

The final stop was in Dublin, with the band scheduled to perform at 9pm, bringing their whistle-stop tour of Ireland to an end.

Kingfishr first announced their plans in an Instagram post on Friday evening, revealing the four cities they intended to visit.

However, fans were kept guessing about the exact locations, with details being shared gradually throughout the day, just hours before each performance.

Clips of the surprise gigs have since been circulating online, with fans sharing their excitement at getting the chance to see the band perform up close.

One fan wrote: "I was just there in front of you. Thank you guys!!"

Another commented: "Did ye actually busk in Galway, Limerick, Cork, and Dublin in ONE day? That's insane."

A third added: "I was there to experience it, y’all were absolutely amazing & everyone singing along gave me goosebumps. thank you for this."
