Winner of Channel 4's The Piano Brad Kella coming to Glasgow
The announcement comes ahead of the release of his debut album, Phoebe's Melody, which is due to be released on June 6.

His career took off after being named the winner of Channel 4's The Piano by superstar pianists Lang Lang and Mika.
He has since signed with the independent record label Modern Sky, appeared at Classic FM Live at the Royal Albert Hall, and performed his own sell-out show at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall.
Naming legendary film composers Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer, as well as neo-classical piano star Ludovico Einaudi as his major influences, Brad said: "The album is something I'm so proud of.
"It's sounding much bigger and better than I could have anticipated.
"Each piece is a reflection of a moment in my life, a step-by-step musical illustration."
Brad has his own unconventional approach that sets him apart.
He said: "If I read music, that means I'm sat in front of someone else's music, which immediately takes away huge amounts of creativity in the process.
"It puts me under immense pressure when I have to go on for a concert in front of thousands with no music in front of me.
"I think the pressure of it sparks amazing moments during the performance. Sometimes I'll change a certain melody on the spot, and no one is expecting it."
He is currently supporting Gary Barlow on a UK tour which is set to stop at the SEC Armadillo on May 26 and 27.

A Place in the Sun star says 'we are done' as they make 'emotional' announcement
A Place in the Sun presenter Jasmine Harman has announced a brand new project away from the Channel 4 show. Jasmine Harman has revealed an exciting career update beyond her A Place in the Sun duties. The star of the Channel 4 show, which recently saw one couple struggle to agree during their viewings, confessed she's feeling "emotional" whilst announcing a brand new project set to grace our screens soon. The 49-year-old television personality has landed her own programme, also broadcasting on Channel 4 - Jasmine's Renovation in the Sun. The fresh show will chronicle her family's relocation to Spain as they transform a dilapidated villa. The 15-episode series, branching off from A Place in the Sun, will capture both the obstacles and victories of their relocation and refurbishment venture, reports the Express. In a social media update, the host revealed it will display everything "warts and all" whilst highlighting the highs, lows and challenges. Posting an announcement to her 227,000 Instagram followers, Jasmine penned: "If you've been wondering where I've been for the last couple of weeks... That's a WRAP on Jasmine's Renovation in the Sun. And I'm back!" She revealed she was experiencing mixed feelings, continuing: "I'm part excited / part nervous for you to see everything we've been through with this renovation - warts and all! As soon as we have the date we will let you know! But we are DONE!! It's been emotional." She concluded the message with tearful emojis as supportive comments poured in. One fan responded: "Wow! That was quick! Can't wait to see it all." Another chimed in with: "Brilliant, glad it's all been worth it!!" Whilst a third commented: "You are looking fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing your renovation." When Channel 4 first unveiled the programme, Jasmine revealed: "Moving abroad has been completely different to what I expected and dreamed of. "I never wanted to take on a renovation project but somehow, we fell in love with this house. I've seen it so many times with my own house hunters - sometimes it just feels right." She continued: "Moving house can be stressful at the best of times. "But, changing country renovating a property, raising our family - all the while having a TV crew following you around, is next level! All the same, we feel like this is the best move for our family and we're so excited to get started." Episodes of A Place in the Sun are available to watch on Channel 4.

'Saddest' Grand Designs home finally sells after 12 years of turmoil and 7m debt
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A home modelled after a lighthouse, which featured in what was labelled the 'saddest ever' episode of Grand Designs, has finally found a buyer after 12 years of renovations. The notorious Chesil Cliff House left its owner, Edward Short, 57, sinking in £7m of debt. The construction of this distinctive property spanned over a decade and went several million pounds over budget, worsened by a recession and ultimately leading to the end of Edward's marriage to his wife Hazel. The house gained infamy when it appeared on Channel 4's Grand Designs, with viewers dubbing it the "saddest episode ever" following its broadcast in October 2019. The programme followed Edward and his family's journey as they faced numerous setbacks, leaving the house in Croyde, Devon, unfinished and the family saddled with millions of pounds in debt. The five-bedroom property was put back on the market in 2024 for a hefty £5.25m and has now found a buyer. On 19 August 2025, Edward expressed his relief that the property had been sold, joking that he would still be buying lottery tickets in hopes of one day reclaiming it. Edward said: "It is definitely the closure of a long chapter of my life - there is no doubt about that. I mentally moved on from the property a while ago as the writing was on the wall. "I am relieved it is sold; it gives me closure. I put everything I could as a person to make it work, but it didn't. It is not the end of the world, but it was a financial failure. I will still be buying a lottery ticket and dreaming that I can buy it back.", reports Devon Live. The property was originally listed for sale in February 2023, but struggled to attract a purchaser. Then in late 2024, the five-bedroom residence was placed back on the market, with Savills marketing it on behalf of joint receivers at a reduced price of £5.25m. Rumours circulated that famous faces including Harry Styles and Michael Jackson's former bodyguard Matt Fiddes had expressed interest in the dwelling - but no deal came to fruition. Speaking in November 2024, Matt said: "It is in a very valuable part of Croyde. It is a great corner but absolutely knocking it down and building something more modest would make much better financial sense. It would make the locals happy and give a safer access. That is definitely an option and is what the locals want. "If my bid is successful, I will listen to the community and hear them out. All I hear at the moment though, is that it is getting vandalised and the locals just want rid of it." Edward disclosed that he still looks back on his time constructing the property with fond memories. He said the period he spent building the house was amongst the finest times of his life. Edward said: "I do look back at lots of elements of building that house that I enjoyed. There were moments that were amazing. All the time I spent building the house was amazing - that never leaves you." Costs spiralled far beyond what owner Edward had anticipated as he tried to transform the property into an art deco lighthouse. The home was originally put on the market through Knight Frank for £10 million and boasts an infinity pool plus three acres of land. A purchase almost completed before a mystery buyer pulled out at the eleventh hour, forcing it to be re-advertised and split into two individual lots - the primary home valued at £7.5 million while the adjacent seaside development called 'The Eye' had a £2.5 million price tag. The show also revealed how the bold scheme had placed tremendous strain on Edward's marriage, eventually resulting in his split from wife Hazel. Despite the obstacles, Edward remained committed to finishing the project. Edward previously said: "I'll always be proud to have finished this. I owe it to my family to have a real end result, but the time has come to move on. I will have achieved what I set out to do, never deviating from the plans, and for that I'll always be proud." The property has been anchored into the cliff's bedrock. Edward, a father-of-two, previously explained he had little choice but to put it on the market to cover the substantial sums he'd borrowed, with total expenditure expected to hit £6 million.
