'A dream come true' as sisters perform for Ed Sheeran

In the vibrant city of Belfast, two talented sisters, Molly and Ruby Mulholland, had an unforgettable experience when they met the world-renowned musician Ed Sheeran. Seventeen-year-old Molly and her younger sister Ruby, who is 15, were accompanied by their little sister Daisy during this exciting encounter. The sisters were completely taken by surprise when they learned that Ed Sheeran would be their special audience. This remarkable event took place at the Oh Yeah Music Centre, where they were invited to perform for some very important guests. Ed Sheeran's visit was part of the launch of his foundation, which aims to support music education in schools. The foundation's mission is to provide young people with access to musical instruments and opportunities to showcase their talents. Just the day before their performance, the Mulholland sisters received a phone call inviting them to sing for some 'very special guests' at the music center. They were filled with excitement and anticipation, but also a bit of nervousness, as they had no idea who would be attending. Molly expressed her feelings, saying, 'We didn't know who they were going to be and we were just really excited. ' On the day of the performance, the sisters went about their regular school day, but their minds were racing with thoughts of the surprise that awaited them. After school, they were taken to the Oh Yeah Music Centre, where they would perform. The moment they began singing, they were shocked to see Ed Sheeran and another famous musician, Gary Lightbody, walk into the room. Ruby recalled her feelings of disbelief, stating, 'I just couldn't believe it. ' The atmosphere was filled with joy as the two musicians stood there, smiling and nodding their heads to the music. The Mulholland sisters have been performing together for several years, showcasing their talents across Northern Ireland. They carefully selected some of their favorite songs to perform, including a piece called 'Stick Season. ' Interestingly, they decided on their song choices just an hour before the pop stars arrived. Molly shared, 'We just chose Stick Season because we just love it. ' Ed Sheeran's visit to Belfast included stops at various music organizations that his foundation would support. These organizations included the Oh Yeah Music Centre, which was co-founded by Gary Lightbody, as well as Hotbox Entertainment, which helps young musicians and rappers, and Drake Music NI, a charity that assists individuals of all abilities in making music. After their performance, both Ed and Gary were incredibly kind to the sisters. They shook their hands and even signed their guitar, leaving a lasting impression on the young musicians. Molly remarked, 'They were really, really nice and passionate about music. ' The sisters were thrilled to share their musical journey with such talented artists. Now, Molly and Ruby are preparing for their next big performance at Future Talent, an event that showcases emerging young talent from across Ireland, which will take place at the Grand Opera House in Belfast next month. Their mother, Tracy Mulholland, expressed her pride in her daughters, noting that the details of the surprise visit were kept a secret, and no one had any idea who the special guests would be. She said, 'It was really amazing for them, just a dream come true. ' The entire family has been incredibly supportive of the sisters, and they were all in awe of the experience. Tracy added, 'It doesn't feel real - it was fantastic for them. ' It was just an ordinary school day, and then suddenly, they found themselves meeting a superstar. What an extraordinary day for the Mulholland sisters!
