He was on fine form as he belted out each soaring chorus, showing off a dynamic range of both soft and high-energy songs in his arsenal. 'Cheers!' Tom cracks open a beer and salutes the crowd before ripping into Find Your Way Back Home. A bluesy-rock number which lets his guitar skills take front and centre as he rips into a solo. It's in these huge ballads that he really shows off his voice, stunning, soaring, while full of gravel and grit. Holy Ghost sees him urge fans to headband along, 'Your touch is biblical' is belted out and backed by powerful drums. Tom admits: 'I thought there was gonna be about five people here, so thanks for coming down early!' But he shouldn't have worried, as he pulled in one of the biggest afternoon crowds of the weekend. 'We played a gig in Ireland last night and haven't been to bed yet, so if my voice gives up at any point, sorry!' Jokes Tom. But he needn't have worried as the power of his vocals gives a sublime performance of Castles. Burn sees Tom show off his showmanship as he preludes the song with a call and response, joking: 'This is gonna be on telly later, so don't make me look bad.' What a way to get the Sunday crowd going, Tom's an absolute treat live and his genuine stage presence goes down so well. Finishing with his biggest hit, Leave A Light On, he told the Glasgow crowd, 'You don't know how much this means to me.' As Cammy Burns joins him on bagpipes for the song's triumphant crescendo, the sing-along is deafening. 'Glasgow it's been an absolute pleasure' signs off Tom before he leaves the stage - Tom the pleasure was all TRNSMT's.

Tom Walker: ‘Miracle' I made it through my TRNSMT set
Scottish singer Tom Walker has said it is a 'miracle' he made it through his TRNSMT set. The songwriter had finished his set in Buncrana in the north of Ireland at 12am on Sunday and had to make an overnight journey to Glasgow to play at 1:25pm the same day. Mr Walker, who was born in Kilsyth, rose to prominence in 2018 with the hit single 'Leave a Light On' and is also known for his song Just You and I. He played the mainstage of TRNSMT on Sunday afternoon for the first time in his career. He said it was 'really good' but admitted he had a 'crazy time getting here'. He told the PA news agency: 'We played in Buncrana last night. The set was at 10.30 at night, we finished at 12, got on a bus – not a tour bus, a wee mini-bus – drove five hours to Dublin airport from Belfast, got on the 6am flight and came straight here. 'I've not been to bed so I'm feeling the burn right now if I'm honest. 'I'm tired. My voice just about made it through that set which is a miracle.' He applauded his 'packed' Glasgow audience as 'amazing', especially given the 26C weather. The Scot said it was his best time at TRNSMT yet and his first on the main stage. Reflecting eight years on from his breakthrough hit, Mr Walker said: 'To be honest, I never ever thought I'd be able to pay my rent with music. 'Me and my partner bought a house four years ago together and I'm just so grateful. 'I never ever in my life thought I'd be able to sustain a living from music and I've gone far beyond anything I thought was possible. 'I'm just so grateful to everybody who's listened to my music, who has supported me, come to my gigs and bought my albums – thank you very much.'
