Reminiscent of the Proclaimers, their original songs showed a similar ability to write a catchy chorus.
Track Fine by Me brought a summery feel to the event with its surf-pop guitar riffs and chanting choruses, while a cover of Taylor Swift’s Blank Space went down a treat with the young crowd, before they finished with an excellent, upbeat rendition of Walk the Moon’s Shut Up and Dance.
The final act of the day was Rewind, a boyband from Glasgow, who provided the biggest name of the evening with a growing fan base chanting their name.
With the haircuts to match, they are Glasgow’s very own One Direction, taking the classic moves and bringing them forward 20 years.
With some impressive pop anthems under their belt, they are sure to have won over many more fans after this performance.
