This is the moment Ed Sheehan started an impromptu hour-long performance on the steps of the Town Hall on the Cornhill in Ipswich, England.

As word got around a crowd of about 1,000 slowly formed. One young fan at the front had a toy guitar that Ed spotted. Clearly he felt a connection since Ed had started playing at the age of 11.

The singer offered Arthur Baggett the guitar along with the amp and speaker on the condition that he practised daily. He signed the guitar and sang one last song before handing it over.

The impromptu gig took place on October 7, 2022.
