Patrons at the Prohibition Cabaret Bar in Newcastle were left stunned on April 8, when “local musician and all round lovely lad” Sam Fender gave an impromptu performance at the piano of a new song.

Video shows the English singer-songwriter performing a new piece on the piano, before leaving to the warm applause of his audience.

Bar owner Mitch Mitchell told Storyful that it had been “a regular Saturday night” until Fender, who came in for a quiet drink, approached the house pianist a first time and did a duet to Ray Charles’s Mess Around.

“After the singalong they both went to sit at their tables and Sam began chatting with a few customers who had recognized him,” he said, adding that the artist had been “a true gentleman, humble and kind to staff and customers alike.”

“We’re so pleased he chose to drop by and share the gift of his music with us in such an intimate way. We’ll never forget his visit and wish him luck for his new album,” Mitchell said. Credit: Prohibition Cabaret Bar via Storyful
