Imagine sitting in your music lesson and a global superstar walks in – that’s exactly what happened for students at Mol Education, an alternative education school focusing on music, based at East Moors Youth Centre. Ed Sheeran, one of the world’s biggest music icons, made a surprise visit, leaving students starstruck and inspired.
During his visit, Ed didn’t just perform for the students; he also joined them in their music sessions, jamming and sharing the stage with young talents. For these aspiring musicians, it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment to learn from and perform alongside a multi-platinum artist known for his humble approach and global hits.
The surprise didn’t stop there. Earlier in the day, Ed was also spotted at Fitzalan High School, adding another layer of excitement for Cardiff’s young music lovers. His presence sparked joy and created lasting memories for everyone lucky enough to meet him.

Ed’s visit highlights his dedication to encouraging the next generation of musicians and supporting creative education. It’s not every day that a superstar takes time out of their busy schedule to connect with young talent in such a personal and meaningful way.
For the students at Mol Education and Fitzalan High School, this was more than just a brush with fame – it was a moment of inspiration that will fuel their musical dreams for years to come. Cardiff, it seems, will be humming Ed Sheeran tunes for a while yet!
