SINGER-SONGWRITER Paloma Faith performed at the SSE Hydro as part of her UK-wide arena tour, and during the gig shared her support for the SNP and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Faith, who is from England, delivered a set heavy with political themes, and spoke about politics north of the Border.

During the gig, she said: “I'm happier the further north of the UK I go. I'm always happy in Glasgow."
She added: “I said something a bit divisive in Aberdeen last night – and I don’t know if I should say it to you guys, but I will. I love Nicola Sturgeon.”
The audience responded with whoops and cheers, with Faith looking surprised by the reaction. She then said: “I’d vote SNP in England if I could.”
Faith's performance at the Hydro received plenty of credit for the music too, with songs touching on issues such as Brexit.
Users on social media were also quick to offer praise for Faith.
Looking forward to Paloma Faith's praise for Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP at her Glasgow concert tonight in the SSE Hydro getting the same news headline's as Morrissey's recent mocking disapproval#PalomaFaith #VoteSNP

Just back from seeing Paloma Faith at the Hydro. Belts out 3 songs then does a reverse-Morrissey and proclaims her love and adoration for Nicola Sturgeon!Some cheering and booing but left the audience in no doubt what a fine person she regards the FM to be. Will this be reported?

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
