Grammy winner Sam Smith spotted in Donegal

By Rebekah Logan

Singer Sam Smith has been spotted socialising throughout County Donegal.

The Grammy Award winner is thought to have been in the county last week to record his new album at Attica Audio Recording Studio in Termon. 

The 24 year old visited the Lemon Tree restaurant in Letterkenny a number of times during his trip.

Chef Christopher Molloy said he made a great impression on staff:

"I Love cooking for everyone that comes into the lemon tree equally but when a super star like Sam Smith comes in ya gotta take a pic. What a nice chap he loved the playlist, the food and Donegal, said it's the coolest place."

He was also pictured at McCafferty's Bar in the town where he's said to have performed a few tunes for the locals.

Owner, Mark, said he was shocked to spot the Oscar winner in Mountain Top.

"Sam Smith dropped in last night. My jaw nearly hit the floor!!! An absolute gentleman and he sang a few tunes later on too. Bit cheeky of me to ask for a picture but he actually took it for me. Unreal!!!"
