Singing and TikTok sensation Calum Bowie stunned shoppers in an Aberdeen supermaket when he started performing an original song in the clothing department.
The singer, from Banchory, was asked by a fan to sing in a supermarket so he headed to Asda Garthdee with his guitar to deliver, filming the trip for his TikTok account.
Approaching the shop, he said: “I’m actually really nervous, I’m not going to lie. I’m getting a lot of weird looks.”
He makes his way up the escalator, saying “I reckon the clothing section is the way to go.”
Mr Bowie, who studies in Edinburgh, is soon spotted by a member of staff who asks “are we getting a tune?”
As he starts strumming away the opening bars of his newest single Listen to Your City, the staff member starts recording him.
He joked that he hoped the video would make it onto Asda’s official social media platforms.

‘So gutted I missed my chance to see you’
Since debuting his music in 2018, the singer has raked in nearly 36,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and his TikTok account, where the Asda performance can be viewed, has over 323,000 followers.
The video in Garthdee’s Asda currently has over 59,000 views since being posted on Wednesday night.
The comment section was flooded with fans disappointed they had missed him as he took to the shop floor.
One user said: “You actually have to be kidding me man I work in that Asda.
“Actually so gutted I missed my chance to see you.”
Another commended his bravery for having the courage to sing in the store: “You are extremely brave. I want to do something like this, but I could never. I’m a wimp.”
One user even asked if Mr Bowie would sing at their wedding later this year.
Where might he sing next?
Mr Bowie’s TikTok account also features videos of him spontaneously performing in B&Q and local woodland.
Commenters on his Asda video have suggested other locations across Aberdeen they’d like to see him perform including Tesco on Lang Stracht, the city centre on a busy day or at the iconic Codona’s.
