PAOLO Nutini has announced a one-off homecoming charity show - that will also fulfil his childhood dream.
The singer will perform in Paisley Abbey to back the town’s UK City of Culture 2021 bid.
The show – on October 20 – tops the bill for Paisley’s annual Spree festival and is taking place in support of a number of local good causes.
Paolo and his band will deliver an unforgettable experience for those lucky enough to be in the town’s 850-year-old Abbey to see it.
Only a limited number of gold-dust tickets will be available to the public for the 550-capacity venue.
Fans will be able to register via thespree.co.uk from Friday for a chance to get the option to purchase a pair.
And 100 tickets will be made available to Renfrewshire community groups.
All ticket monies will go directly to five local charities selected by Paolo himself - The Love Street Singers, Mirren Park School, The Kibble Band, the Sunshine Recovery Cafe and some of the town’s Syrian refugee children.
Paolo said: “I've always wanted to play in the Abbey since I was a wee boy.
"I’m proud to be a part of The Spree, I’m proud to be from Paisley. Love is music and music is home.”
Ticket sales will be via an online ballot utilising Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan System.
