Peter Capaldi Live in Glasgow: Here are 13 amazing pictures of the Doctor Who star's first public music gig for over 40 years
It follows the release of the Doctor Who star's second album, 'Sweet Illusions', on local record label Last Night From Glasgow earlier this year - and a guest slot with Franz Ferdinand at Glastonbury.
Capaldi was born in Glasgow and grew up in Springburn and Bishopbriggs - attending St Teresa's Primary School, St Matthew's Primary School in Bishopbriggs, and St Ninian's High School in Kirkintilloch, before studying at Glasgow School of Art.
His musical career began when he formed a band called 'The Dreamboys', whose lineup included comedian Craig Ferguson.
But ultimately he chose a career in film and television, winning an Oscar for his short film 'Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life', and starring in the likes of 'The Thick of It' and 'Doctor Who', amongst a string of television and film roles.
Here are 13 pictures from the show, where he played the following:

Tom Grennan says Paul Mescal didn't remember him after pair hung out at Glastonbury
has revealed that Paul Mescal forgot who he was, despite the pair hanging out for 'a couple of hours' at Glastonbury. Speaking to Roman Kemp on the BBC Sounds podcast on Wednesday (6 August), the singer remembered Mescal introducing himself to Grennan in Ireland - though they had met just a week before. Sharing the awkward interaction, Grennan said: 'I was with him for a good few hours. Enough for him to remember me,' as Kemp recoiled in apparent second-hand embarrassment. He said that Mescal apologised for the slip-up, with Grennan using an Irish accent to mimic the apology.

Titanic director James Cameron warns of ‘Terminator-style' AI weapons threat
Oscar-winning director James Cameron has warned that the dystopian future he imagined in The Terminator may no longer be confined to fiction as AI takes over. The filmmaker raised fears that artificial intelligence could soon control military systems, including nuclear weapons. The Canadian filmmaker, 70, told Rolling Stone magazine that an arms race relying on AI presents a 'dangerous' scenario that could spiral beyond human control. His comments came as he promoted the new book Ghosts of Hiroshima, which he plans to adapt into a feature film. 'I do think there's still a danger of a 'Terminator'-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defence counterstrike, all that stuff,' Cameron said. 'Because the theatre of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we'll be smart and keep a human in the loop. 'But humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war. So I don't know.' The Avatar and Titanic director, whose 1984 hit The Terminator featured a self-aware AI system named Skynet launching nuclear Armageddon, said the convergence of today's crises, from climate change to AI, should be taken seriously. 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence,' he continued. 'They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time. Maybe the super-intelligence is the answer. I don't know. I'm not that, but it might be.' Cameron's concerns about AI are longstanding. In a viral 2023 interview, he poured cold water on the idea that artificial intelligence could replace human screenwriters, saying: 'I just don't personally believe that a disembodied mind that's just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said, about the life that they've had, about love, about lying, about fear, about mortality , and just put it all together into a word salad and then regurgitate it… I don't believe that's ever going to have something that's going to move an audience. You have to be human to write that. I don't know anyone that's even thinking about having AI write a screenplay.' Despite his reservations, Cameron has embraced certain uses of AII, particularly in relation to the spiralling cost of filmmaking. In September 2024, he joined the board of Stability AI, the firm behind the image-generation tool Stable Diffusion. Speaking on a podcast earlier this year, he outlined how he believes AI could help reduce production budgets without eliminating human jobs. 'If we want to continue to see the kinds of movies that I've always loved and that I like to make and that I will go to see, Dune, Dune: Part Two, or one of my films or big effects-heavy, CG-heavy films, we've got to figure out how to cut the cost in half,' he said. 'Now that's not about laying off half the staff at the effects company. That's about doubling their speed to completion on a given shot, so your cadence is faster and your throughput cycle is faster, and artists get to move on and do other cool things and then other cool things, right? That's my sort of vision for that.'

When did Oasis last play at Murrayfield as Britpop icons come to Edinburgh in days?
Oasis are making a long-awaited return to Scotland in just a matter of days. On August 8, 9, and 12, Liam and Noel Gallagher - and the rest of the band - will perform north of the border once more. It's been 16 long years since the Britpop icons played in Scotland - so this run of gigs are highly anticipated. Oasis kicked off their reunion tour in Cardiff on July 4. They then headed to Heaton Park in Manchester for a five-night series of hometown shows. They are currently in the midst of a run at Wembley in London, with our reporter Fionnuala Boyle making the trip to the UK capital for one of the shows. Once they finish up at Wembley, it's Scotland's turn. More than 200,000 music fans will descend on Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh over the trio of shows. Classics like Wonderwall and Live Forever will be belted out from the home of Scottish rugby and the shows are likely to be something revellers remember for a long time to come. With Oasis making their iconic return to Scotland in just a few short days, some music fans have been left wondering about the Gallaghers' relationship with Scotland, and whether they've ever graced the stage at Murrayfield before. Well, here's everything you need to know about the brothers' past Scottish gigs. Have Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium before? Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium twice, most recently in 2009, just before their infamous argument. They played in June, mere weeks before their last ever gig for 16 years. The band also previously played Murrayfield in the year 2000. Some other notable Scottish gigs that the pair have played include the show at King Tut's in Glasgow in May 1993 that got them signed, as well as Plaza and Cathouse in December of the same year, also both in Glasgow. Oasis played a series of gigs in Scotland in 1994, including Gleneagles, La Belle Angel in Edinburgh, Tramway in Glasgow, and the iconic long-gone Scots festival T in the Park. Other legendary Scottish venues and festivals that saw Oasis take stage before their break-up included Glasgow's Barrowlands, Glasgow Green Festival and Edinburgh's Usher Hall, according to their 'gigography'. Can you still buy tickets for the Oasis reunion dates in Edinburgh? General admission for the Edinburgh dates sold out almost instantly, like all of the tour dates for Oasis' reunion. However, several other options still exist to try and bag resale tickets, although you'll have to be quick on the ball. Twickets is a reselling site that offers a platform for fans to sell their tickets at face value or less. If you're lucky, you could catch a ticket this way, but be careful- if you blink you could miss it. Show more Ticketmaster also offers a verified ticket resale service, but again, you'll have to be vigilant to catch one before it sells again. After their many UK dates, including the three Edinburgh shows, the Oasis tour then goes worldwide with dates in Brazil, Australia, South Korea, Japan and the US.
