Singer who performs with music legend does solo show at TRNSMT
But Rianne Downey took the full spotlight at the King Tut's stage at the festival today, and rightly so, her voice is incredible and perfect for her country pop sound.
While we love her co-singer stage duties for Beautiful South legend Paul Heaton, it was great to see Glasgow give a big cheer for the Bellshill-raised star.
She said with a smile: 'Hello Glasgow! It's so good to be home. Here we go!'

The 2024 single Lost in Blue quickly followed before she did an incredible cover of Scottish anthem Will Ye Go Lassie Go, a song made famous by The Corries.
She then teased what to expect from her debut album The Consequence of Love as she performed The Song of Old Glencoe and Heart of Mine, she sounded magnificent.
Reflecting on her career so far, she admitted: 'I used to busk just down the road from here and never once did I think I would on this stage.
'I don't live in Scotland anymore, but I'm making it my mission to come back.'
Dougie Maclean's Caledonia then delighted the crowd before she finished off in style with the Beautiful South hit Rotterdam.
She signed off: 'You're making a wee lassie from Bellshill's dream come true.'
