The President of Ireland is well-known for being a man of culture so when an orchestra rocked up outside his gaff yesterday, it's no surprise that he came out to have a listen.
Broadcaster Dil Wickremasinghe posted a video of the RTE National Symphony Orchestra playing an impromptu open-air concert outside Áras an Uachtaráin and the performance must have been good because who emerged only the President of Ireland himself, Michael D Higgins.
Higgins can be seen doing a bit of swaying, which may or may not have evolved into a dance at one point. With his hat in his hand and one of his dogs by his side, it's not a sight you'd see outside every Presidential house, that's for sure.

The official President of Ireland Twitter account posted another clip and confirmed that the musicians involved are Elizabeth McLaren, Hilary Sheil and Ríona Ó Duinnín...

It's not unusual for
Higgins to greet passers-by in the Phoenix Park so if it's within your 5km, you might just catch him out in the nice weather today. If you happen to have a violin handy, that might help too.
