British Singer and Songwriter Ed Sheeran

British singer and songwriter, Ed Sheeran surprised a group of music students with an unexpected performance at their college.

The four-time Grammy winner arrived at Sheffield College while 19-year-old student Lol Bailey was performing the singer's number-one single Shape Of You in the college's drama and music theatre.

Sheeran performed the song, as well as Castle On The Hill, before playing the acoustic guitar as the pupils freestyled rap lyrics into the microphone.

He also answered the young kids' queries about the sector and listened to their future professional goals.

The Sheffield College's chief executive and principal, Angela Foulkes, said it was "fantastic" to welcome Sheeran.

The surprise appearance was organised by the Sheffield Music Hub team at Sheffield City Council.

Ian Naylor, head of music education at Sheffield City Council, said: "Sheffield has a rich musical heritage and is committed to developing homegrown talent and seeing our creative industries thrive.

"It's been a pleasure to host Ed today and see first-hand his commitment to using his global platform to champion the importance of music education."

Earlier in the day Sheeran visited Red Tape Studios in the city and spoke to young musicians.
