He's gathering awards nominations left, right and centre and is in-demand all over the globe - but Hozier still had time to visit the students at Dublin's BIMM music college yesterday to impart a little bit of his wisdom.

The 24-year-old Bray native gave a one-off masterclass to flabbergasted students - and he even sang a few tunes, to boot.

The reason for his appearance was to publicise the deadline for BIMM's Commercial Modern Music degree, which potential students have until February 1st to apply for.

"I’m thrilled to have been asked by BIMM Dublin to pop in and speak to their incredibly talented students," he said. "The Commercial Modern Music course at BIMM Dublin is an incredible opportunity for people who want to pursue a career in Irish music, with industry professionals committed to developing Irish home grown talent."
