“I’m one lucky person that I got the chance to be that close.” After Sinclair once again told the man how much he looked like Ed Sheeran, John quickly whispered “Debbie ... you look like Ed Sheeran”, which drew a laugh. “Of all the places to call into, (Sheeran choosing) to call in to our little town is just such an amazing feeling,” Sinclair said. Sinclair asked the singer why he was in Featherston to which he replied he was staying locally. *

Ed Sheeran expresses love for Wellington in intimate concert at ... (Stuff.co.nz)

REVIEW: Ed Sheeran proved his undeniable stage presence and musical talent during the first of his three Wellington gigs.

For his final song, Sheeran comes to the front of the stage. The gig is surprisingly interactive. The artist speaks to the crowd. The show is not as uneven as Sheeran had warned. Sheeran then jokes the last time he came to New Zealand he offended everyone by saying he didn’t like our special chocolate. Obviously, this sends the crowd wild. The singer is known for his acoustic crooning and lyrical prowess, and in these areas he certainly delivers. His presence fills the stage, so much so that I don’t even realise right away that his band has left. This is apparent during the first two songs. The crowd loves it. He is small and slender on stage, clad entirely in black, from his jeans to his T-shirt. Finally, the lights dim and an expectant hush falls over the crowd.

He offered his credit card, but Sinclair was adamant: “I don’t want to see your credit card; I want to see your ID,” she said. Laughing, the familiar-looking stranger said, “I am who you think I am,” pointing to the name on his credit card. After commenting that “you look like Ed Sheeran” – an observation that elicited “a little giggle” from the young man – Sinclair asked to see his ID to ensure he was old enough to drink, in line with host responsibility rules.
