Irish trad three-piece Amble were met with an adorable surprise this week after a former student rocked up to their Fenway Park gig.
The beloved band are currently opening for Hozier's North American tour, having gotten the chance to play at the iconic Boston venue on Monday (June 23).
As if that moment wasn't monumental enough for the lads, lead singer Robbie Cunningham was met with a sweet surprise after one of his former students flew Stateside with his parents to witness the landmark event.

Robbie was teaching at primary school level when he left to pursue his dream of touring the world, and it seems his former students are very much feeling his absence.
Taking to TikTok to share the sweet interaction, the band wrote: 'Had a special little man at Fenway last night. A Mr.Cunningham sign spotted in the crowd. Seb, one of Robbie's past pupils, flew over with his family to see the show. Thanks Seb! Tonight we row again! Fenway night 2!'
In the short clip, Seb can be seen getting teary eyed as the rising star signs his poster, with the pair sharing a heartfelt moment and posing for photos. @ambleofficial

Padraig Harrington's dog plays hilariously cute role in Irish golfer's US Senior Open celebrations
IT WAS an excellent weekend for Team Padraig Harrington with even his dog Rio enjoying the sweet taste of success. The Irish golf legend 3 The tournament was held in Colorado Springs, Colorado Credit: Getty 3 A welcome treat given Colorado is going through a mini-heatwave Credit: @padraig_h 3 Son Ciarán and wife Caroline were there to support him and caddie Ronan Flood in their efforts Credit: Getty In the aftermath of his latest major triumph, the Rathfarnham native shared an amusing video of Rio cooling off with an ice pop. He captioned it: "A celebratory ice pop for Rio. Peanut butter and banana." Fans of the two-time British Open winner congratulated him whilst also looking forward to next month's edition which will be held at Royal Portrush in Antrim. Stephen hailed: "Congrats Padraig, great champion of the game. Hopefully keep playing great for Portrush too!" Read More On Irish Sport Meanwhile Bryson (not DeChambeau) added: "Well done Padraig & Rio. Great win!" Lastly, while thinking of Padraig's other dog, Ron joked: "Hopefully you made things right with Maltbie." In winning the tournament, Harrington earned a payday of $800,000. He had been tied heading into the last round after a 68 on Saturday - the same as Australia's Mark Hensby and American Cink. Most read in Golf But the Stackstown icon held his nerve despite a tense final hole at Broadmoor Golf Club. He carded a three under par 70 final round, which saw him finish on a total of 11 under par. Ryder Cup legend in furious argument over golf etiquette with respected TV reporter at US Senior Open His score was enough to pip his friend Cink to the title by one stroke, with Jimenez a further shot back after a stunning seven under round of 63. It was the 2024 Golf Hall of Fame inductee's tenth Senior's Tour title. Afterwards an elated Harrington "Look, here I'm not thinking I'm going to miss the cut. Touch wood that doesn't happen. "I'm not thinking about that. If you brought me to a regular event Thursday afternoon I would be thinking about the cut line. "Whereas here I'm thinking how do I get myself into position. And even the first couple of days I got going and I could have got away from the field. "I dropped back a couple (shots). I was still going. All I want to be is with nine holes to go to give myself a chance and be in the right head space at that time." MIGUEL'S MISHAP Third-placed Jimenez rued his approach on the 18th as he ultimately ran out of holes to reel in Harrington's lead. Reflecting on his costly bogey, he vented: "If I had a chance to get on the green, I would go for that. "But as I was talking with my caddie, 'OK, maybe you can pass the water, but we cannot do anything from there. Is it worth the risk?' "Then I still need to go, but he's right. Then make not a bad wedge where I hit it after. "I went high left, more or less, pin high and missed it, but at least give myself a chance to make 4. But if I put it in the water, bye-bye."
