He played the mainstage of Trnsmt on Sunday afternoon for the first time in his career.
He said it was 'really good' but admitted he had a 'crazy time getting here'.
He told the PA news agency: 'We played in Buncrana last night. The set was at 10.30 at night, we finished at 12, got on a bus – not a tour bus, a wee mini-bus – drove five hours to Dublin airport from Belfast, got on the 6am flight and came straight here.
'I've not been to bed so I'm feeling the burn right now if I'm honest.
'I'm tired. My voice just about made it through that set which is a miracle.'

He applauded his 'packed' Glasgow audience as 'amazing', especially given the 26C weather.
The Scot said it was his best time at Trnsmt yet and his first on the main stage.
Reflecting eight years on from his breakthrough hit, Mr Walker said: 'To be honest, I never ever thought I'd be able to pay my rent with music.
'Me and my partner bought a house four years ago together and I'm just so grateful.
'I never ever in my life thought I'd be able to sustain a living from music and I've gone far beyond anything I thought was possible.
'I'm just so grateful to everybody who's listened to my music, who has supported me, come to my gigs and bought my albums – thank you very much.'

I paid more than £100 for a stadium gig and felt like a mug afterwards
Even so, letting market forces push ticket prices ever higher is a risky business. What if fans feel ripped off and make up their minds never to see you again? Artists and promoters started it, but fans are now making equally ruthless economic judgments about their idols. The legend is that in the world of big live events, everyone's a winner – fans get to see their rock gods in person and artists get to aspire to yacht-ownership. But the experience matters. When you've spent the cost of a replacement washing machine on two concert tickets, the artist is the size of a fruit fly on a faraway stage and the set list is a bit 'meh', dissatisfaction – the enemy of future ticket sales – sets in. Read more Rebecca McQuillan The very least people expect is for bands to stay on stage for longer than they queued to get in. The rapper Drake upset audience members last weekend at London's Wireless Festival by playing for only 40 minutes on the last of his three nights. 'Short-changed' and 'daylight robbery' were two fan reactions. At Lana del Rey's Hampden gig last month, fans paying over £100 a ticket (me included) were hoping for more – about an hour more in fact. When she still hadn't turned up at 9.05pm, long after support act Banks had gone, a slow handclap began. How much time did she think we needed to take narcissistic selfies? Around 10 minutes later she finally drifted on (Lana doesn't dance) and there was a roar of excitement from an audience made up largely of young women. But it felt like she'd barely gotten into the swing when she was winding things up. Her set lasted a little less than 90 minutes, featured three unreleased songs and two covers, and the sound quality was ropey, particularly when she spoke to the crowd. (Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen famously play for over three hours.) It just didn't feel like a fair deal, but it was too late. Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins. Ticket costs are rising still. Pent-up demand after 2020 explains some of the increase and inflation has also pushed up promoters' overheads, but big-name artists also see touring as a way to make big money since streaming took over from CDs and vinyl. Oasis play Murrayfield next month (Image: PA) Are we mugs for paying the prices? It's an argument, but the end of a Ticketmaster queue is where perspective goes to die. People invest in the event before even spending anything, just by sitting in the queue. When they reach the end to find the cheaper tickets gone, a fevered re-evaluation takes place against the clock and tickets are panic purchased for sums that were never in the budget. It's like that by design. In fairness to artists, really huge ticket prices are the reserve of relatively few big names, while smaller acts playing smaller venues have a much tougher time making profits. And the industry did need a boost after the pandemic. But fans often smell greed, especially with arena and stadium gigs. 'It's gross when grassroots music is struggling so much and big artists charge that much money when they don't even need to,' says one young fan. Parents are unimpressed at the prices charged by artists with large teenage followings and frustrated by how divisive it can be. One mum I spoke to described her daughter's dread going into school the Monday after Harry Styles played Murrayfield, knowing that some of her classmates had been there when she hadn't. Additional costs add to the overall outlay. There's the water they make you pay for because you can't take in your own, the travel and sometimes the accommodation. Lots of concert tickets are still being sold, but some fans are not prepared to play ball any more. There are signs audiences are changing as younger and less well-off music fans are priced out or getting fed up and staying away. In 2022, 51 per cent of people told You Gov they'd been priced out of a gig at least once in the previous five years and 18 per cent said it happened frequently. While young adults are still the mainstay of audiences, the proportion of middle-aged and older people is growing. Read more Fans are discerning and if they turn their backs on acts or set a limit on their ticket spend following disappointing experiences, the artist, venue, ticketing platform and promoter miss out on repeat business. 'I paid £200+ for two different concerts recently. One was worth it easily, the other wasn't. I also paid £30 for a gig for a less popular band that was the best value of the lot,' says one music fan. 'I only pay up to £80 and then only for 'big' performers,' says another. If prices keep swelling, stadium gigs are going to be made up of grey heads and empty seats. Some already are. Artists that under-deliver are making matters worse. Leave them wanting more, not their money back. Rebecca McQuillan is a journalist specialising in politics and Scottish affairs. She can be found on Bluesky at @ and on X at @BecMcQ

Ronnie Wood urges people to look after wildlife before there is ‘nothing' left
The star joined the Tusk Turtle Trail campaign and designed one of the 16 life-sized turtle sculptures to help raise funds and awareness of endangered marine species. Launched by African wildlife conservation charity Tusk, the installations are positioned at sites across central London including Covent Garden, Carnaby Street and the top of The Shard. The street art can also be found at St James's Market, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, with the aim of encouraging passers-by to 'pause, reflect and engage with urgent marine conservation issues'. Wood, 78, is an ambassador of the charity and helped design one of the sculptures, titled The Prodigal, which is in Carnaby Street. He told the PA news agency: 'It was great fun to do the turtles. 'It's wonderful. There's a whole brigade of them. 'If we don't look after the animals now, there'll be nothing for our children to see in the future.' The guitarist added that he hopes the campaign will encourage people to 'appreciate what your surroundings hold and especially the wildlife and the flora and the fauna. You know, look after everything that goes up around us. 'I think the future of Tusk relies on if we can raise enough money with these turtles to keep the whole project going and the whole message going.' The 16 installations will remain until the end of August before going up for auction in mid-October, with the funds supporting Tusk partners' marine conservation projects. The charity led similar campaigns between 2018 and 2023 with rhino, lion and gorilla trails. Other stars who helped design a sculpture for the Tusk Turtle Trail included Irish actor Andrew Scott, Dragons' Den stars Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, artist Hannah Shergold and Fawlty Towers star John Cleese and his wife Jennifer Wade. Cleese told the PA news agency: 'These people like Tusk are doing a great job. 'We got involved because of my wife. 'She is passionate about photography and all sorts of conservation projects, and we got sucked in. The first thing we did was a lion, and then we did a wonderful gorilla.' The comedian added that they named their turtle sculpture Teddy after their cat, who died earlier this year. He said: 'We've christened this little tortoise Teddy to remind us of those happy days.' Wade said: 'Teddy was a really amazing cat, Maine coon, and he was, like, one in a million. And he's really unique. But with turtles and the conservation we don't want one turtle to be one in a million. We want people to realise that all these turtles need to be saved, and there's species, and there's so many things that people can do to help save them. 'In other words, Teddy's unique to us, but we want all the turtles to be Teddies in the world. That's what we feel.' Wade said she and Cleese have been supporting the charity for about five years. She said: 'Tusk is amazing. Also, because it's a smaller conservation, and the people, you feel like it's part of a family, and you feel like you're actually doing some good. We've loved it.' Nick Bubb, chief executive of Tusk, said: 'Marine turtles have navigated our oceans for over 100 million years, yet six out of seven species are now threatened with extinction. From entanglement in fishing gear to plastic pollution and rising sea levels, human activity has decimated turtle populations across the globe. 'The aim of the Tusk Turtle Trail is to inspire collective action to celebrate and protect one of the most ancient and endangered marine species.' Bidding for the sculptures will begin on Monday.

Myleene Klass says investiture shows miscarriage care must be modernised
The musician and broadcaster, 47, was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) and received her medal from Charles at Windsor Castle on Wednesday for her work raising awareness and pushing for legal reform following multiple pregnancy losses. She told the PA news agency: 'The King himself has now acknowledged that miscarriage care and healthcare needs to move forward. 'We're actually in a position where we can change the law, and women can benefit from it.' Klass, who has spoken publicly about suffering four miscarriages, has led calls for improved support and policy change and has become one of the country's most vocal advocates for reform. She described the honour as recognition for 'the achievements of so many people that come together' to improve what she called a neglected area of women's health. 'When I was going through my own miscarriages, you feel so invisible – you just feel you need somebody to guide you out of it,' she said. 'There's so much negativity about miscarriage healthcare – women feel so lost, so dragged down by it all.' Klass, who rose to fame with the pop group Hear'Say before establishing a successful career as a classical musician, presenter and entrepreneur, said she never imagined her work would take her in this direction. 'I trained as a musician – I always thought that was the route the world would take me in. It's certainly diversified along the years,' she said. 'So many people want you to stay in your line, to box you in. 'But the beauty of how the world works is you can do many jobs – they all inform one another.' Former X-Factor singer Leona Lewis, 40, was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her music career and years of charity work on animal welfare and environmental causes. 'I've always been an ambassador for animals and a voice for the voiceless,' she said. 'To be recognised for music is amazing – but to be recognised for charitable work is so meaningful. 'Music is my life's work, but when you are given a platform, it's important that you use it to bring awareness, to use our voice for something bigger than ourselves.' The singer was joined by her husband, Dennis Jauch, and her father, Aural Josiah Lewis, at the ceremony. 'I just want to give back because I feel like I've been very blessed,' she added. Former health secretary Patricia Hewitt, 76, was also made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her services to public health and NHS reform. She said she was 'over the moon' to receive the honour and described it as a tribute to the thousands of people she had worked alongside throughout her career. 'I never expected to receive any honour at all, let alone one as significant as this,' she told PA. 'It means an enormous amount to me. 'When I heard the news, I felt it was a tribute, not just to me, but to the thousands of amazing people I've worked with over the years – not only in the NHS but also in social care.' Dame Patricia served as health secretary under Sir Tony Blair from 2005 to 2007 and oversaw major reforms, including the ban on smoking in public places, which became law in 2007. She said the smoke-free legislation was the most significant contribution of her political career. 'The smoke-free legislation that I helped steer through Parliament is absolutely the biggest thing I ever did for the health of the nation,' she said. 'It saved more lives than any of us expected. 'I remember the Chief Medical Officer coming to see me just nine months after it came into effect and saying we were already seeing fewer people dying from heart attacks because they were no longer breathing in second-hand smoke.' She added: 'It's one of those rare examples of a piece of legislation that changed both attitudes and behaviour – and did it very quickly.' Also recognised at the investiture were Sir Warren East, the former chief executive of Rolls-Royce, who was knighted for services to the economy and Net Zero aviation, and Sir Nick Gibb, the long-serving former Schools Minister, honoured for services to education. Other recipients included Baroness Poppy Gustafsson, chief executive of cybersecurity company Darktrace, and Soma Sara, founder of the Everyone's Invited initiative, alongside high-profile figures in agriculture, Holocaust education and crop science.
