WATCH: Chris Kamara gives his best Ronan Keating impression in Carlow hotel

Rory Cashin

If you hear ‘When You Say Nothing At All’ and don’t sing along, then you have just outed yourself as a robot or pod person.

It is just one of those songs that you can’t help but join in on once the chorus kicks in, and what makes it even better this time around is that it is none other than Chris Kamara on vocal duties!

In case you missed it, Chris and his BFF Jeff Stelling are in Ireland at the moment as guests of AIB in a bid to learn about Gaelic Football.

They’ve already had a few adventures on the tour of the country – especially with a specific mode of transport when it came to getting around the Aran Islands – but now they’re back on the mainland and entertaining the masses.

We got the heads up that the lads were in Mount Wolseley Hotel Spa & Golf Resort in County Carlow, and from there we were gifted with some footage of Chris taking on a few big numbers with the house band.

The person who brought the videos to our attention also told us that guests attending a wedding in another part of the hotel left the nuptials celebrations to watch Chris take on Ronan Keating’s (or is that Keith Whitley’s? Or Alison Krauss’?) hit ‘When You Say Nothing At All’, as well as James Taylor’s ‘You’ve Got A Friend’.

It should bring him some comfort to know that he might have a genuine back-up career as a singer, because the guy can SING.

All of this, and on the same day that we find Sean O’Brien and his Lions team-mates joyously belting out a Westlife classic?

Which god did we please??
