Brooke Combe makes bold request during TRNSMT set
You can't help but feel transported somehow.
(Image: Images taken by Glasgow Times staff) After playing her first tune on the King Tuts stage at TRNSMT this evening, the Edinburgh-born singer said: "Hello TRNSMT, how are we? I've missed you all.
"I'm glad it's f****** cooled down. I put on my Instagram that I was going to swear less, so here we are off to a great start."
Performing with a Scotland flag tied in a knot at the top of her mic, Brooke was quicky to tease her guitarist, Danny.
She said: "I gave Danny one job which was to tie the Scotland flag on my mic. What is that?
"Would you lot not have had it tied at the top and draped down? Like, what is that, eh?"
To be fair, it was pretty humorous looking.

Announcing that it was the perfect song for today's weather, Brooke and her band absolutely smashed it.
Tonight's show follows on from Brooke supporting Lionel Richie on his UK tour earlier this year.
And speaking of gigs, the singer spoke about her upcoming show at Saint Luke's this December.
She added: "You know where to find me and I know where to find you, all right?"

She said: "My time has nearly come to an end, I'm gutted, but I think TRNSMT need to make me headline this stage next year. TRNSMT, you heard me."
She continued: "There's something about the King Tut's stage. I prefer us all being boxed in over the scary stage over there (main stage)."

Danny Dyer shares real reason he'd turn down knighthood
EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has revealed he's planning on following in his 'hero" Harold Pinter's footsteps by turning down a knighthood if he's ever offered the accolade Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer has shared why he'd turn down a knighthood. The 47-year-old actor says that he was too "anti-establishment" for the title which are given to individuals by the monarch for a significant contribution to society. He told Radio Times that he'd follow in the footsteps of his "hero" Harold Pinter, who turned down a knighthood back in 1996. Nobel-winning playwright Pinter declined the honour of a knighthood offered to him on behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth II by former prime minister John Major, but later accepted the award of Companion of Honour in 2002. When asked if he'd ever been approached about appearing on the New Year 's Honours list, Danny explained: " Have I f! Harold was my hero and turned down a knighthood. "He was anti-establishment as well, so I don't think it's for me." Danny became a household name acting in EastEnders from 2013 to 2022 as fan favourite Mick Carter and has since gone on to star in Disney's hit series Rivals, Sky comedy show Mr. Bigstuff, and an upcoming Irish film Three Quick Breaths. It comes after Danny left his daughter Dani Dyer horrified with his honeymoon confession. During a recent episode of their podcast Live And Let Dyers, the Love Island winner opened up about her romantic getaway with new husband and West Ham star Jarrod Bowen, while proud dad Danny managed to overshare in true Dyer fashion. Back from her sun-soaked trip to Lake Como, Dani revealed the newlyweds were hit with gloomy weather but still made the most of their honeymoon bubble. 'The weather was terrible, it rained for three days but we were very lucky, because it always stopped raining when we went for lunch and for dinners and stuff," Dani told her dad on the pod. While the couple had hoped for some sunbathing time, Dani admitted they swapped tanning for telly, champagne and baths. She added: "We just could never sunbathe, and there's not really much to do there so, we just binged the whole series of MobLand. We ate and I'd just drink champagne and have loads of baths." However, it wasn't long before Danny spun the convo onto his honeymoon and things got very a little too honest. He said: "To be fair, you shouldn't really be getting out of bed a lot in your honeymoon because me and your mother ended up in Florence, and you know, we was appalling! "I mean, honestly, I look back on it and I think, 'f****** hell! How on Earth did I manage to get in those sorts of positions!." A shocked Dani responded saying: "Oh, you're disgusting!" before he hit back with: "What do you mean disgusting? There was two people sharing their love. Them days are long gone now!"
