Sigrid asked security for this request during TRNSMT set

Glasgow Times12-07-2025
During her brilliant performance on the main stage, the Norwegian singer asked a nearby steward to spray her with water from a hose.
"I'm so hot!" She exclaimed - and with all the dancing she was doing on stage, it is no wonder.

When watching Sigrid, it is clear that she absolutely loves what she does.
Playing huge hits like Don't Kill My Vibe, Sucker Punch and High Five, she also played some new songs like Jellyfish - which came out yesterday.
Speaking on the new music, she revealed: "I released a single yesterday which was my first in ages."
She continued: "I've been in the studio a lot over the last year."
(Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) (Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Her vocals were incredibly from start to finish - and she used her voice to share her love for Glasgow and TRNSMT too.
After Don't Feel Like Crying, the singer said: "It's great to be back in Scotland. It means the world that you came to see us.
"We love playing TRNSMT it's so good to be back here. We played the King Tut's stage and now the main stage."

Wrestling and axe-throwing at Holywell's Party in the Park

Party in the Park took place yesterday (Saturday, July 26) between 11am and 4pm at both Fron Park and the adjacent Holywell Leisure Centre. The event drew huge crowds despite the drizzly weather at times, and was once again organised by Holywell Town Council, following the success of its debut event 12 months ago. Among those in attendance were the mayor and mayoress of Holywell, Matt Sprake and Fi Vaughan respectively.

Meanwhile, outside, there were three wrestling shows (with meet and greets) from Basix Pro Wrestling for people to enjoy, as well as BMX bike and skateboarding coaching, and archery and axe-throwing sessions. People could also try their hand at a climbing wall and karaoke, while there was also an inflatable assault course and basketball, bushcraft, crown green bowling, community stalls, face painting, and glitter tattoos. Children were entitled to free lunch packs, while there were also ice cream, burger and coffee vans. North Wales Police were in attendance, with youngsters able to try on officers' uniform and sit inside a police car. Stalls were set up by the likes of St John Ambulance, Holywell-based Bethel Baptist Chapel, and Red Dragon Ventures, who gave people the chance to practise cardiopulmonary resuscitation training with a dummy, create nature-based artwork, build teddy dens, and toast marshmallows.

"It was certainly a change of pace from wielding the metaphorical axe in council meetings to having a go at actual axe throwing — though I'm not sure the mayor's consort was entirely convinced everyone was safe within range! "However it was the wrestlers who body-slammed their way to centre stage and stole the show, and a special thank you goes to Basix Wrestling for putting on an unforgettable performance for the children."

Review: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Chester

With another well-supported crowd, the Grosvenor Park theatre is a fantastic place to enjoy a night of theatre and The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes is the latest to enjoy. Using Storyhouse's in-house team of actors and beyond, the show is a new telling of the famous Arthur Conan Doyle character with Holmes's co-solver of cases now Joanne Watson, know as Jo, who comes from Chester. Jo – played by Alyce Liburd – comes home from that there London after an invite to CrimeCon by a former school friend to talk about the subject of her many books, Holmes (Ethan Reid). Alyce Liburd as Jo Watson in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Chester. (Image: Mark McNulty.) The whole story is a flashback as Jo is first brought to our attention in the form of a true crime podcast, tapping into the cultural zeitgeist with a touch of Only Murders in the Building thrown in too. While the main man is surprisingly absent, he is soon thrown into the fray by a burglary which leads to a murder and the Duke and Duchess of Westminster. With trips to Liverpool and London covered, and a good ol' punch up in an Irish bar, plus a masked ball and much more, the race is on to unmask who is really pulling the strings. Reid excels as the titular detective, though he forgoes any previous incumbents of the role as his influence, dressing like a 10th doctor David Tennant and solves crimes like Kris Marshall's Humphrey Goodman. Howard Chadwick and Morgan Reid in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Chester. (Image: Newsquest.) Liburd is less narrator as previous Watsons, more willing participant and she brings that pluckiness and willingness for a fight to the fore, plus a pain alluded to off stage. Reid and Liburd do, however, generate chemistry and a belief that they have been solving crimes for some time, shown mostly through the running Deerstalker hat joke. The play does suffer from a slow start as multiple characters are introduced and my one main criticism is that some of the introductions could be dialled down – they border on stereotypes and I feared for the standard. However, those fears soon faded as the ensemble found its feet thanks to the dynamic of two characters – Holmes and DCI Ray (Howard Chadwick) with the former showing the perfect of level of disdain the Great Detective has for ordinary coppers. The latter steals the show however with his perfect level of 'what is he on about' needed from the boys in blue. Chadwick provides all of the comic relief and doesn't dip once in his task – a fine showing. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in Chester. (Image: Newsquest.) The supporting cast, including Victoria Brazier as a reimagined Mrs Hudson, all work hard to support the central trio. Hannah Baker plays 'hoity toity' very well as the Duchess of Westminster while Morgan Lewis, making his professional debut, also shines. As with 2024's Gangs of New York and The Importance of Being Earnest, the cast are all outstanding musicians with Baker's piano skills the stand-out showing. The second half steps up the peril and the plot to a hugely-satisfactory ending. Would I recommend this show to everyone? Elementary, dear readers. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes runs until August 31 – for more, had to

Dawn Steele on the 'daunting' prospect of her Fringe debut

She is about to make her debut appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in a play which will also mark her return to the stage for the first time in more than a decade. Read more: The actress says the chance to appear in the play came at 'the right time,' ahead of her 50th birthday later this year, at a time when she was affected by the downturn in Britain's TV drama industry. It will also realise her growing ambitions to become part of the Fringe after attending numerous shows with friends in recent years and a desire to return to the stage. Dawn Steele will be appearing in the Fringe play Skye at Summerhall. (Image: Supplied) Steele is preparing to play a number of characters in Skye, a chilling family mystery, set on the Hebridean island of the same name 30 years ago. She will be taking centre stage in the debut play by award-winning author and Fringe producer Ellie Keel. Dawn Steele has been most recently seen on screen in the crime drama Granite Harbour. (Image: Newsquest) Steele will be starring opposite fellow Glaswegian James Robinson, who played the young William Wallace in Braveheart, in Skye, part of Summerhall's Fringe theatre programme. The play will be Steele's first stage work since she appeared in the comedy thriller A Perfect Murder, an adaptation of the best-selling Peter James novel, in 2014. Previous roles included the John Byrne plays Cuttin' a Rug and Tutti Frutti, the latter with the National Theatre of Scotland and David Harrower. Speaking to The Herald during a break in rehearsals, Steele said: 'I've not done any theatre for quite a long time. 'It's not really been a choice, but is just the way it's worked out. I'd love to do more theatre, but I just don't get asked. 'I was sent this play by my agent as Ellie, the writer, wanted to hear it read out loud before. She has produced a lot of theatre but this is her first play. 'When I read it, I did think: 'If they ask me to do this, I'm going to have to say yes.' 'In a way, I was scared. I thought 'I hope they don't ask me to do this. It's very wordy, it's a two-hander and I'll be on stage for a whole hour.' 'But I was just really compelled by the script. It felt quite magical to me.' Skye focuses on the main character of Annie and her siblings after they see a ghostly vision of their father on a beach four years after this death. Steele said: 'The play is about an incident that happened on Skye when the children were young, which changes the course of their lives. Annie retells the story with the help of her brother Brawn. 'I don't want to give too much away, but I would say it's a cross between a ghost story and a thriller. 'It's ultimately about memory, how it plays tricks on you, particularly in a family context, and what people hold onto. 'When I read the script I got a real feeling for it and I really loved the character of Annie. I thought she would be a real challenge to play. 'A big part of the appeal is that it's going to be on at the Fringe, which I've been to a lot with friends over the last few years. 'Everything we saw last year was really good. I do remember thinking: 'I would really like to do something here.' When you see really good theatre you want to be up there.' Keel is bringing Skye to the Fringe after producing a number of previous plays at the festival, including Bullring Techno Makeout Jamz and The Last Show Before We Die. She made her name as an author last year with debut novel The Four, about a group of boarding school students bound by a chilling secret. Steele said: 'It feels daunting doing this play because I've not done theatre for a while, but it's not like I've never done theatre before. I've done a lot. "The last two-hander I did was Blackbird, which was pretty daunting. With anything that is a two-hander or a solo show it is pretty exposing. It was also a very challenging play. I remember thinking: 'Oh my god, I'm never going to get through it.' Before I knew it we were touring it around the country. 'The thought of doing new writing at the festival really appealed to me. It's been really interesting and challenging. We've been changing stuff on a daily basis. It's been a bit like doing stuff with John Byrne. The play has changed quite a lot, but for the better. 'I'm so used to TV, where the script is the script, and that is it. Theatre is much more collaborative than TV. There's more of a process. It's not just a case of turning up and doing your lines. 'It feels like this has come into my life at the right time. I'm going to be 50 later this year. It's going to be a real challenge, but I want to be challenged and I'm really prepared to take this on, because I feel I can do it. I'm jumping in head first. 'Were doing the play in a room with 140 seats. I won't have played in front of such a small crowd since I was in my mum and dad's living room. 'All of those things are quite scary, but it's also why I want to do it. It's getting me back into the rehearsal room and doing what I really loved in the first place about acting before I got into TV. I obviously love working in TV, but it is very different. Theatre and TV are two very different beasts." Steele, who has previously starred in Hoby City, Wild at Heart and River City, has been seen on screen most recently in the crime dramas Shetland and Granite Harbour, with filming due to get underway on the next series of the latter shortly after the Fringe. However Steele admitted she jumped at the chance to return to the stage after her quietest ever spell for TV work recently. Steele said: 'I've worked my whole career. I've not stopped. I know I've been really lucky. 'But it's been really quiet recently. A lot of actors are not working at the moment. It is a bit of a buyer's market. People can pick and choose who they want. 'There is less money around. People are being very picky about what is getting made. There is just less getting made and there is less work. It just filters down. 'I'm not doing the play because I was desperate for work. I'm doing it because I really like the play. 'If there isn't a lot of work on the ground, when something comes along that makes me sit up and think 'this is really good' I'd be stupid not to do it.'
