Fresh from his sold-out show at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Niall Horan brought along pal Ed Sheeran to meet the legendary owner of the northside night spot, Shay Duignan, who welcomed the musical duo to his speakeasy. Posting on social media, Shay wrote: “Great to welcome Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan to the Hacienda last night.
It was a wonderful night and it was also special to welcome James Blunt and Lewis Capaldi.” In the picture that will join the numerous others dotted along its hallowed walls, Shay is joined by the One Direction star, who had earlier delighted fans by introducing his “good friend” Sheeran, who joined him on stage.

Horan said: “He loves this country dearly and made his way across from England today to be here with us tonight. Can you please give it up for my good friend, the great Ed Sheeran.” The pair sang Horan’s hit song Little Things, with both playing the guitar.
