Cork busker Allie Sherlock wows audiences on the Ellen Show

Cork’s most famous busker has swapped Patrick’s St for California and made an appearance on one of the highest-profile TV shows in the world - The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Allie shot to online fame in the last year when clips of her singing covers of pop songs showcased her powerful voice and went viral.

She can often be found busking on Patrick St in Cork and Grafton St in Dublin, usually attracting huge crowds.

“When I saw a video of our next guest singing I knew I had to meet her,” Ellen said.

The host asked her to perform while on the show and Allie sang her own version of Adele’s 'A Million Years Ago.' She got a fantastic reaction from the audience to her song, getting a standing ovation before sitting down with Ellen and chatting about everything from busking to accents.

Allie has been in LA for the last week and has shared pictures and video of herself working with top US producer Ryan Tedder. 

Mr Tedder has previously worked with and written songs for artists like Adele and Beyoncé. While at his studio the Cork girl has met stars including Pharrell Williams and Charlie Puth.
