The Courteeners' frontman Liam Fray has said Glasgow is one of the most memorable places he has ever played. 

The Manchester-born singer was taking part in a Twitter Q&A last night when one fan asked him, "You'll probably say hometown gigs are the best but other than Manchester, where's the most memorable place you've played?"

The star, who played sold-out gigs at the city's o2 Academy last year, said: "Glasgow. Every time, man."

Fray is not the first rock star to praise the city for concerts. 

Noel Gallagher previously said his show at the SSE Hydro last March was up there with his band the High Flying Birds Manchester date.

The former Oasis star, who is back at the SSE Hydro in April, said: "Manchester you were the b*****ks. I couldn't split the gigs between you and Glasgow and that's the highest compliment I can pay any set of fans.

"Very special...if Carlsberg did Monday's and all that!"

The Courteeners are due to return to Scotland to play T in the Park at Strathallan Castle on July 8 to 10.
