Paul surprises passers-by with an unannounced free gig in central London
Paul replaced the jugglers and living statues who often gather around St
Paul's Church in Covent Garden to perform a selection of new tracks from the
back of a truck.
Thousands of people gathered in the cobbled piazza and got a grandstand view
from the balcony of the market building opposite.
Onlookers started gathering at around 11am after they twigged the musician may
be playing after spotting one of his flight cases. The truck - forming his
makeshift stage - pulled into the square at about 6am, with stacks of
speakers set up in front.
Stepping onstage at 1.30pm, he told the crowd: "Good afternoon, and
welcome to Covent Garden. We're just going to do a few songs from our new
album so get your phones out - as if they weren't out already."
After playing current single New, he joked: "Busking - I've always wanted
to busk here."
