He told the Advertiser: “This is a chance for me to show everyone what I’ve been working on over the past wee while. “I’ve been travelling up-and-down to London every week to write songs with very experienced and talented writers, so it’ll be good to showcase what I’ve been busy with.
“I’m hoping to have an acoustic EP released before the gig too.
