I saw Jake Bugg at TRNSMT - he should have been on the Main Stage
The indie rocker casually walked onto the King Tut's stage to perform Simple as This which featured in his 2012 eponymous debut album.
Trouble Town - which was the lead single in that same album - quickly followed.

His voice sounded incredible as he then belted out Keep On Moving.
This is how guitar music should sound live, and Bugg - and his band know how to do it well.
Addressing the hundreds of fans who turned out to see him, the Nottingham native said: 'How you all doing? You enjoying yourselves?'
The crowd roared in reply before he responded with a simple, 'wicked'.
Two Fingers then created a mass sing-a-long before he pulled out the acoustic guitar for Broken. His voice was so powerful, and it was a highlight. That Bugg tone is unmistakable, and hearing it in a live setting is just magical.
The 31-year-old then teased, 'We have got a few more if you're up for it,' as he ramped up the atmosphere with Slumville Sunrise.
Praising the crowd, he flattered: 'Every time I come up here, you are always amazing.'
And the crowd gave him that energy right back for Lightning Bolt before he was joined by Joy to sing the electrifying All I Need.
His performance should have been on the Main Stage at the festival; it was simply phenomenal.
