Unassuming man grabs microphone at open mic night – then people clock who he is

Open mic nights can be a real mixed bag – because as the name would suggest, anyone at the venue can get their turn on the microphone.

While there's a chance you'll get to hear a quality musician in a tiny venue, there's also a strong possibility that you'll be left sat listening to a complete amateur who sounds like they've headed out for a karaoke session.

So when an unassuming chap got up to sing in The Neptune Inn in Brighton, people probably didn't think much of it at first. That's until they looked a bit closer and realised who it actually was, anyway!

Making his way through the crowd and "crashing" the performance of Romany Gilmour, David Gilmour appeared. The Pink Floyd alumni greeted the crowd and performed a set of familiar songs.

They played a handful of well-loved Pink Floyd tunes such as Breathe (In The Air), Time, and Breathe (Reprise). And unsurprisingly, the crowd was stunned to hear The Dark Side of the Moon songs played in the humble venue, with David Gilmour later revealing the performance was part of a warm-up tour ahead of his UK tour.

On X, Gilmour wrote: "Very much enjoyed crashing @GilmourRomany's gig at the Neptune in Hove this evening after finishing tour rehearsals…"

And it's safe to say fans were stunned by his appearance. One wrote: "Wow imagine just sitting in a local pub/bar and in walks Gilmour. Such a cool thing. Romany has such an amazing voice. Love this so much." And another gushed: "A true musician! Willing to play stadiums as well as a tiny pub! Brilliant!"

David Gilmour is a British musician, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, best known as the guitarist and one of the lead vocalists for the progressive rock band Pink Floyd.

He was born in Cambridge back in 1946 and
