Peter Capaldi Live in Glasgow: Here are 13 amazing pictures of the Doctor Who star's first public music gig for over 40 years
Scottish actor Peter Capaldi played the first of two hometown gigs at Glasgow's Stereo venue last night (Tuesday, July 29).
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:
Is It Today
Hanger Lane
Sweet Illusions
Bin Night
Not Going Anywhere
Something to Behold
It's Not Over Until It's Over
The Big Guy
