These two young buskers singing 'Unchained Melody' will give you goosebumps

As two teenagers stood on the bustling streets of Dublin with their guitars, passers by were in for an unexpected rendition of 'Unchained Melody' which would send a shiver down their spines...
It's one of those songs that instantly evokes an emotional reaction.
Though it was originally produced in 1955 by Alex North and Hy Zaret, the most famous cover of 'Unchained Melody' came from the Righteous Brothers a decade later.
So it seems an unlikelier choice for two young teens to pick when busking on the streets of Dublin. And a pretty challenging tune at that too.
But when Irish singer Allie Sherlock began to strum her guitar beside fellow performer Cuan Durkin, and sang the opening lyrics to the powerful ballad, it was clear the people passing by were in for a show.
