Amy McDonald's secret gig at TRNSMT festival 'hottest of her life'
The 45-minute set featured songs from her new album and some of her older classics. AMY Macdonald hailed her secret TRNSMT show as the hottest gig of her life. The singer-songwriter performed an unannounced gig at the tiny Hangout tent near the festival's Boogie Bar on Saturday night. The 45-minute show included songs from her career and from her brand new album, released on Friday, called Is This What You've Been Waiting For. Hundreds packed the tent to catch her performance. Afterwards, Amy said: 'I'm very hot. It's bloody roasting in there. 'My friends were in there. My friend was texting me saying she didn't think she was going to get in because there was a big queue. I was panicking a bit but she got in the end. It was great. It was a very nice atmosphere and I'm happy as Larry to be here. 'I didn't expect a crowd chant for the first song. They all knew all the words. That was a good sign to start off. 'It's always funny, the secret set things. They put it out as secret but there's lots of clues along the way.' She added: 'I was actually thinking that this is the first time I've played in Scotland where the most important thing is the SPF. I don't think it's ever been so warm.' Amy also praised the TRNSMT festival for giving Scottish artists a platform on the way up. The singer, who has previously performed on TRNSMT's main stage, said: 'TRNSMT is great. What is great about TRNSMT is that it gives so many Scottish artists a chance who might not get those chances at other festivals in the UK. It is amazing that we've got this and we're able to promote the new generation coming through. It's nice to see so many up and coming Scottish bands and artists get the chance.' Having told one fan to shut up during her performance under the pseudonym, Mrs Rock & Roll, Amy said: 'Usually, I would have my in ear monitors that would block out the noise of people screaming. 'Sometimes when they've had a few too many sauces it gets a little bit repetitive hence me having to tell one man to shut up.' Up to 50,000 revellers have been enjoying TRNSMT, at Glasgow Green, since Friday. The festival's final day on Sunday, will include sets from Snow Patrol, Shed Seven and Gracie Abrams.
