A singer/songwriter from Kelty is in with a chance of supporting Scottish musical legend Marti Pellow when he appears in Glasgow this summer.

Grady Kinnell is up against four other unsigned artists in an STV Radio competition that will see the public decide their favourite.

The 21-year-old has been doing vocals since the age of 12 and slowly building an online presence.

He played his original song Talk It Out on Ewen and Cat at Breakfast on Thursday morning. The performance can be seen on YouTube, and voting is open online.

If he’s successful, he’ll take to the stage before one of the former Wet Wet Wet frontman’s August gigs at the Kelvingrove Bandstand.

The contest’s three winners will be announced on-air come Monday.

Also in the running is indie-pop duo The Getaway, which includes Dunfermline guitarist Jamie Adamson.
