LOCAL YouTube star Adam B brought the Christmas spirit to Derry last month by surprising some of his biggest fans.
With 2021 being such a difficult year for so many, Adam B and his team carefully selected several local fans who may have experienced a more challenging year than others, visiting them directly at their homes for the ultimate Christmas present.
The team worked very carefully to ensure their mission to surprise the young fans wasn’t ruined, liaising with parents and family members during the top-secret process.
Viewers can catch the action on Adam B’s Youtube channel where he showcases the heart-warming reactions from his younger followers each receiving some of his new merch to enjoy for the festive period.
Speaking about the project, Adam B said: “We’ve been planning this for a few months now and I am delighted it all went so smoothly.
“I am so grateful to all my younger fans who follow me and support my content.
“I knew I wanted to give back to them in some capacity.
“We have done some surprises to fans before but never on this scale, we wanted to elevate things as we closed out 2021.
“Reading about the hardships some of my fans had faced over the past year was a catalyst for me wanting to do this.
“I wish I could do even more but if this small gesture brightens up their Christmas in some capacity, then I am happy that we helped make them feel some excitement even just for a little bit.
“It felt like a covert operation trying to sneak into their homes without getting caught, but so much fun seeing their reactions!”
Nineteen local fans from across the North of Ireland were surprised.
Each has a story of personal hardship and endurance, from illness, loss of a loved one to taking on the role of a primary carer for their parents.
Adam added: “I cannot even begin to fathom what some of these young people have had to go through or continue to go through in their daily lives.
“They are such brave individuals and are an inspiration to me and a credit to their family and friends.”
