A Belfast teenager impressed crowds travelling through Dublin Airport on Tuesday with an unexpected piano performance.
Cory (13) stopped travellers in their tracks when he took to the airport’s Terminal 1 piano play a few tunes before boarding a flight to Spain.
A clip of Cory playing Experience by Italian composer Ludovico Einaud was shared by the airport on social media platform X and has since been viewed thousands of times.
The post read: “Wow! 13 year old Cory from Belfast stopped passengers in their tracks in Arrivals at Dublin Airport this morning with a stunning rendition of Ludovico Einaudi’s Experience
“Talented and cool… sat down, rattled off Bohemian Rhapsody and a couple of Ludovico Einaudi numbers, picked up his bag and went to meet his family to go and catch a plane to Spain. Thanks, Cory!”
