Singing Irish barman goes viral

Remember when this video of an Irish music loving barman went viral as people across the world were enchanted by his easy going style and great singing voice.

John Horgan, of the Crossroads Bar in Knockavilla, Co Cork was flimed by customer Tony Sheehan as he was working behind the bar.

The video was featured in much of the mainstream media in Ireland including the Irish mirror and Irish examiner.

Mr Horgan is a great reminder of the characters that have made Irish pubs so fondly thought of all over the world. The video won him many new fans from across the world.
