‘He's a very generous fella' – Zach Bryan leaves €6,000 tip at Dublin pub to help staff pay college fees

‘He's a very generous fella' – Zach Bryan leaves €6,000 tip at Dublin pub to help staff pay college fees

The 29-year-old Grammy winner, who played three sold-out gigs in the capital, made The Celt on Talbot Street his local during his time here — and left a lasting impression on staff with a remarkable act of generosity.
According to pub owner Noel Tynan, Bryan visited The Celt straight after landing in Dublin.
'Well, when he came off the plane the first day, he came literally straight to The Celt and he had his wind-up party here,' Noel said.
'He had about 100 in his team, so they were all there, and we also had Chasing Abbey from Tullamore — they're pretty well-known themselves — they dropped in and played.'
He added: 'Zach also got up and played a few songs himself, which was great.'
According to pub owner Noel Tynan, Bryan was chatting with the bar staff when one of them mentioned working late to help pay for college.
'One of the staff members just happened to pass a remark about working late — said he has to because he has to pay for his fees for college — and Zach said he might be able to help him,' Mr Tynan said.
'So, he said to me, 'How much will I leave?' And I said, 'Leave a million.' I was joking — I didn't think anything would be left! He said, 'How about four grand? And I said how about 10?' I was just joking; I wasn't expecting him to leave anything.
'And he said, 'Tell you what — we'll meet in the middle. We'll make it six.' So, he just left €6,000. And he also gave me two tickets to give to the children's hospital in Crumlin.'
'He's a very generous fella,' he added.
After performing all weekend, he returned to The Celt on Sunday night to celebrate finishing his Dublin gigs — and even treated the crowd to more songs.
'He came in on Sunday night to celebrate finishing the gigs — sang a load of songs even after performing all weekend,' Pub owner Mr Tynan said.
"To show his generosity, he brought me on stage and everything — so I was beside him when he was doing the last number.'
He added: 'He was there two years ago as well and his father has been back a number of times in Dublin, so I'm starting to get to know them pretty well.'

Tom Jones postpones show at last minute due to health issues

The Welsh singer (85) told fans he was 'very sorry' to have to postpone the gig in Bremen, north Germany, as part of his ongoing tour. However, the Grammy-winning She's a Lady star revealed he has contracted an upper respiratory infection that ­requires treatment and rest. As a result, the show – which was due to take place last night – will now be pushed back to next Monday. 'Hello to all the fans in Bremen. ­Unfortunately, I must postpone my show this evening, as I've contracted an upper respiratory infection that needs treatment and rest. 'I know this is really disappointing and will cause inconvenience to you all, and I'm very sorry about that. But the show will now go ahead on Monday, July 28, so I look forward to seeing you then. All tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date. 'Until then, thank you for your understanding. Love, Tom.' His post to social media was met with hundreds of messages from fans and friends wishing him a speedy recovery. 'Get better soon TJ,' Jones's former The Voice UK co-star Olly Murs wrote in the comments section, while pop singer Anne-Marie, who also served as a coach on the reality TV show, wrote: 'You're the best.' Jones kicked off his UK and European summer tour at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey back in June. He will conclude the shows with two performances in Cardiff, Wales, at the end of next month. Speaking last year, the Sex Bomb crooner said he was feeling better than ever, and was frequently astonished that his famous voice was still going strong. 'I can't believe it, but it is true,' he said. 'When I am singing I am like, 'How the hell is this coming out of me?' 'Honestly. If the voice was not there I am sure I would be going, 'Urgh, I don't want to do so many shows' but I love it as the voice is still working!' In 2021 he told The Independent: '[With] most 80-year-olds the vibrato slows down, the flexibility of the voice, you can't bend notes like you used to when you were younger. 'Well, that hasn't happened to me, it's still there. The only big difference, sound-wise, is I used to be a tenor when I was young, now I'm a baritone, my voice is lower. But when you listen to a song like Delilah, that's in a tenor's range. Pavarotti told me that. So what I've lost on the top end, I've gained a lot in the lower region.' As well as releasing music and continuing to tour, Jones is a coach on The Voice UK alongside McFly stars Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, and former Destiny's Child singer and solo artist Kelly Rowland, who is joining the BBC series later this year.
