    PCSPECIALIST Allie Sherlock

    So I’ve just been introduced to her, Allie Sherlock is now 14 or 15, she sings live in Dublin center just for fun and has become a bit of an icon over there. This is her doing Hallelujah with a 12 year old boy again off the streets. This knocked my socks off, they’re both amazing
