When you have a buggy, bags of shopping and a surly pre-teen to deal with, stopping to appreciate the buskers on Grafton St. is often the last thing on your mind.
Hastening by street performers which line the well-known Dublin street is something many of us do, but there are times when one will capture our attention and force us to stop in our tracks.
And the latest street performer to do so is Allie Sherlock - a young girl whose talent and repertoire brought shoppers to a standstill over the weekend.

Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, Allie gave a haunting rendition of Adele's Send My Love to Your Lover, and soon found herself surrounded by an audience who wasted no time whipping out their phones and filming the stunning performance.
Taking to Twitter to pay tribute to Allie, social media users uploaded footage of the performance, with one writing: "I was in a major rush yday on #graftonstreet & then heard this young lady sing."
"This little girl #AllieSherlock gave me goosebumps on #GraftonStreet today! Brilliant. Someone sign her up!," added another.
Ladies, down your tools - this little girl deserves your undivided attention.
