Organisers of the festival - which is held at various venues in Glasgow’s west end on November 13 - announced that the Scottish duo will be giving a special ‘stripped back’ performance.

The organisers said: “The band’s sold out show at the Barras was unbelievable and we are absolutely delighted to have Aidan and Malcolm join us for a very special ‘stripped back’ performance on 13 November.”
