The festival for dogs that is coming to Glasgow
The entertainment is booked, the food is on site and the health and safety checks have taken there is a difference to Glasgow's newest festival - it's all for first ever Bark Love will be held at SWG3 on Sunday, with everything from DJs playing "dog-friendly sets" to workshops on grooming and pampering owners of the day's star attractions will be catered for too, but the focus of the event is primarily on paws. The event is the brainchild of Jenn-Nimmo Smith, a dog enthusiast who owns both an excitable golden retriever called Scout and a music PR company."About 18 months ago I thought about doing something where I could combine my lifelong love of dogs and my experience working at events," she says. "I wanted to do something different, for the urban dog. There's so many events in the countryside but I wanted to do something in the city, with indoor and outdoor options." 'My dog was honestly a life saver' The plan progressed quickly, though within months Jenn was being given paws for thought by various logistical them was getting artificial grass sorted to turn the venue's courtyard into a play area, and another was checking there was a good number of water stations brought in, to make sure no dog would be thirsty on the day."There's definitely more things to take into account when you're thinking of dogs," she says. "What's in their sight level? What can they see on the ground? How is the flow of movement outdoors going to be? We've worked to position things the best way for humans and dogs so it's the safest, most comfortable experience."Jenn's passion for dogs goes back to her childhood, with a family springer spaniel Bracken and a golden retriever owned by her gran. However, as an adult she feels Scout - who was a ring bearer at her wedding - has been important in her life in a number of different ways."With dogs there's that constant love, but also they're there with difficult times. "I lost my dad seven years ago and we got Scout that year. She was honestly a life saver. "When you're grieving, waking up to see that happy furry face, and someone that loves you unconditionally, is so important. It also means you need to leave the house, you need to take them for a walk – it gives you a routine in a really hard time." Scout's family ties have continued since then. Jenn's mum is now in a care home, and when Jenn visits she makes sure to bring her pal with her."My mum's a massive dog lover and now there's other residents in the care home who we must go and visit when we're in too, because they love seeing her. "I think being in a care home, when Scout recognises and you see their faces brighten, it's really lovely."Jenn says she hopes Sunday will have an equally sweet vibe to the will mix practical aspects, like a marketplace with around 30 stalls and all sorts of food and drink, with more surprising offers - like the chance to have a tarot card reading for you and your includes a dog show, a collaboration with the Yard Works graffiti art studio called Bark Works featuring live murals being painted, and a steady flow of dog friendly tunes played by latter does not mean Dog Days Are Over, Who Let the Dogs Out and I Wanna Be Your Dog on a loop, though."My background is music, so there was always going to be an element of that, laughs Jenn."For DJ sets think ambient, Balearic beat tunes – nothing too intense, just something to ease you through the day. So not a full on rave..." And just like any music festival, Jenn is keen to ensure those attending have plenty to make some noise about."Someone was saying to me they've just had to put their dog to sleep at 17 – Scout's eight and I just want her to live forever. "Bracken died in my 20s and I didn't get Scout until my early 30s. You know the day will come but it's also unthinkable. "Scout's a part of the family. Their life spans are short but that's why I want to bring her as many places as I can and keep her happy and healthy."

Noah Kahan sends fans wild as he brings out surprise guest Lewis Capaldi at his BST Hyde Park headline show - after Scottish singer's emotional Glastonbury comeback
Noah Kahan sent fans wild after he brought out Lewis Capaldi as a surprise guest at his headline show at BST in Hyde Park on Friday. After an incredible set including guest appearances from Gracie Abrams and Gigi Perez, the singer saved the best for last after he brought out the Scottish hitmaker for his penultimate song Northern Attitude. Following the song's first verse and chorus, the lights went dark before a mystery guest was seen running on to the stage. And as the second verse began, the lights went up to reveal Lewis, with the fans going wild for the pair's collaboration. The duo wore matching Chelsea football shirts while singing the emotional ballad together in Lewis' second UK festival appearance in just one week. Lewis made his epic return to the stage last weekend for a surprise set at Glastonbury following a difficult few years. He took a two-year hiatus to focus on his mental health and 'adjust' to his Tourette's diagnosis after he was left unable to finish his Glastonbury set back in 2023. But he reduced fans to tears when he finally returned to Glastonbury over the weekend, and his comeback has been nothing short of exceptional. Lewis also released brand new track Survive on Friday, which details his difficult two years - and it's been a huge hit with millions of fans across the country as it has topped the charts. Lewis has landed not only his biggest ever opening, but the largest first week of any single released this year with the comeback track in a landslide achievement. Survive has shifted a whopping 68,500 units in its first week, including more than four million streams, surpassing the much-loved singer's previous best of 56,000 with the 2022 song Forget Me. Gushing about the support he's received since his highly-anticipated comeback last week, Lewis said: 'Survive is this week's UK Number 1, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's been streaming it, downloading it - it really means the world. 'I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury - and now this! 'It's been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me.' Lewis pipped producers MK and Chrystal to top spot as their track Dior sat in second in place, while filling the remaining three spots in the top five were Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, Rayvn Lenae's Love Me Not and Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan. Such is the mania surrounding Lewis' return that the public's interest in his old music has too sky-rocketed after he made a tearful return to Glastonbury last week. Streams of Someone You Loved shot up by 115 per cent, while his 2019 chart-topping album Divinely Inspired surged by 198 per cent. Lorde, who took to the stage just hours before Lewis at Glastonbury last Friday, also scored her first ever Number 1 album in the United Kingdom this week with Virgin. She beat competition from Bruce Springsteen's Tracks II (second), Short N Sweet from Sabrina Carpenter (third), and Ed Sheeran in fourth spot. The New Zealand-born singer, whose racy new vinyl cover sparked controversy, said she couldn't believe the support she's received since the new album dropped. Speaking to the Official Charts, Lorde gushed: 'I cannot believe that I've got Number 1 in the UK! This is absolutely insane. 'I felt so much love from the UK on Virgin. I cannot thank you enough and I cannot wait to see you on tour very, very soon!' Glastonbury was quite the star-studded affair but a major highlight was Lewis' emotional return to the spotlight. Greeted by huge cheers from the thousands at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage last week, he made an emotional return two years after he was left unable to finish his set at the festival. He tearfully told supporters: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!' Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed Survive for the first time in front of scores of supporters. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'. Amid the success of the performance and that of his tear-inducing new single, the Scotsman announced a new tour this week consisting of 10 dates. The Someone You Love singer will play venues in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Nottingham and two days at the 02 later this year. Lewis confirmed on Instagram that these would be his 'only shows' in the UK, Ireland and Europe this year. Pre-sale tickets go on sale on July 8, while general sale is on July 10.
