Shirley Burns, 64, is buzzing to get to TRNSMT to see Lewis who she says brings joy everyday and that his soothing voice helps her get to bed.
She said: “I’ve never seen Lewis before but I have loved him for years and years. This is my third time at TRNSMT but I’ve never been able to see him.
“I’ve never managed to get tickets, his concerts are always sold out, so I am absolutely buzzing about this.
“If I need to calm down or cheer myself up, I just put my earphones on and listen to his voice. He’s just incredible.
“I remember hearing him on the radio one day years ago, and thought his voice was just so soothing, and the song was just so beautiful.
“Right away I started listening to him, every single one of his songs!”
Shirley, a former nursery worker who is with her daughter Shazza Burns, 38, and ex-colleague Chelsea, 31, said she’d give Lewis a big cuddle if she was lucky enough to meet him.
She said: “Some of his songs are just so heart-breaking, and they’ve all got a story to tell. I’d really love to cuddle him and say ‘it’s going to be alright son’.
Shirley joked, “I’m maybe a wee bit old for him, but I just want to be a mother figure and take care of him.”
Shirley’s daughter said despite all the music happening around her, her mum is still walking from stage to stage – blasting Lewis Capaldi out of her phone.
Shazza said: “She’s been walking about playing out his tunes and singing them all day, I don’t know how we’re going to contain her excitement.”
