00:07 Dylan John Thomas!
00:09 You make so excited!
00:11 And I would touch his hair for a tenner!
00:14 [Singing]
00:20 [Cheering]
00:22 [Music]
00:27 So we are at the Glasgow Barrel Land tonight. Dylan John Thomas is about to play his second show,
00:32 his second sold out show in a run of three.
00:35 Pretty mental.
00:37 It's pretty mental. People have come from all over Scotland.
00:39 We've been talking to people that have come from the borders and everything.
00:42 You think of Dylan John Thomas as a Glasgow artist, that perception for me has been changed completely.
00:46 People from the borders, people from Perth, people from the Highlands no less.
00:50 It's going to be a bit wild at the very least.
00:52 I think it's going to be wild, yeah. Like look at this queue.
00:55 And the doors have just opened as well.
00:57 And I feel like that's quite a rare thing for the Barrel Lands.
00:59 People just come and please us a go, but people are up for every single minute of the show.
01:04 [Cheering]
01:13 And how are you feeling for tonight?
01:15 Buzzing.
01:16 Aye, I'm very excited aye.
01:18 Honestly, I'm just enjoying the moment.
01:20 A wee bit nervous, a wee bit bubbly.
01:23 Sing you a song.
01:25 It's time as a healer.
01:27 It's time as a healer.
01:29 Five minute healer.
01:31 Give me back my day.
01:33 What does Dylan John Thomas mean to you?
01:35 It's my parents and I'm a very sexist mum.
01:38 So I'm only here for the veins.
01:40 Yeah, yeah. You're here for the veins.
01:42 Oh he's brilliant.
01:43 Aye, he's brilliant. Big afro now.
01:45 He sounds alright.
01:47 He sounds brilliant.
01:49 Because Dylan John Thomas is brilliant. I saw him in December last year and I'm here to see him again.
01:53 He's not got a ticket yet, so...
01:55 I know, I'm just hoping I can get one at the door.
01:57 It's a sold out gig though.
01:59 No, there's four left now.
02:00 Four left?
02:01 There's four left to get in.
02:03 And he is keeping it lemon.
02:05 I'm keeping it lemon as always, right?
02:07 Dylan John Thomas, he's got to marry me.
02:09 [Laughter]
02:11 He's got posters of his wall in that van.
02:14 Catch his after-football.
02:16 And you think you can get them?
02:18 Hopefully I can get one.
02:19 You can get one. I've got my tickets on me.
02:21 Well that's a cue, okay, okay.
02:23 Yeah, I hope I can get it.
02:24 Get the bad gin.
02:25 I always get the bad gin.
02:26 Get the bad gin.
02:27 See, I like the glasses on you, my Texagons, man.
02:29 Aye, you shoot them, pal?
02:30 Four in your pocket, Phil.
02:32 Obviously Jenner. This one's for all the Jenners.
02:35 Oh Jenner!
02:37 Get out of here!
02:39 You're never going to get together!
02:42 Out of that life of mine, it's toot the chat!
02:45 Yeah! Get it!
02:48 As you can tell, it's a strenuous night here at the Battlelands.
02:53 I'm excited, man, because I can feel the fire burning up my skin.
02:57 I can feel the fire and all, like.
02:59 Can you feel the fire and all, like?
03:00 I can feel the fire burning up my skin.

03:36 Where have you come from today?
03:37 Perth.
03:38 Perth. That's quite a trek.
03:40 Not really.
03:41 Not really. Just one train ride away.
03:43 No, it was a car.
03:44 Oh, there you go. Easy ride.
03:46 Just if we're in the car, cruising along and just...
03:50 I think his well-being at the bar is such an iconic place.
03:54 For him being here as well, it just shows how far he's come as well.
03:58 Oh my god, he's my favourite artist.
03:59 I'm going to faint when he comes on stage, not going to lie.
04:01 He's literally... We saw him last year and he's the best live performer I've ever seen.
04:05 Best. Oh my god.
04:06 We're going tonight and tomorrow night.
04:07 We're going tonight.
04:08 This is my first time here.
04:09 Amy's really excited.
04:10 And I'm going tomorrow as well.
04:11 Wow!
04:12 I'm so excited.
04:13 We love him. We just love him.
04:14 Oh my god.
04:15 He's so good. Oh, we need to go back in the queue.
04:16 It's so hot!
04:17 We need to go in the queue.

04:19 Bye!
04:20 Thank you very much, guys. Thank you.
04:21 Cheers.
04:22 Thank you.
04:23 [Fart noise]
04:24 [Laughter]
04:27 My mic is very, very soggy right now.
04:30 It has a lot of saliva on it, which is why I'm not keeping it too far to my face.
04:34 What does Dylan John Thomas mean to you?
04:36 A lot, a lot.
04:37 [Singing]
04:55 It makes me feel the fire.
04:57 He is the man for the east and the west.
05:01 It's a very big night for the young people of Glasgow.
05:04 Come on!
05:07 My name's Devil!
05:08 Devil!
05:09 So, why are you here?
05:10 To see Dylan John Thomas.
05:12 Why do you want to see Dylan John Thomas?
05:14 Because he's like my dad.
05:15 Okay.
05:16 I need to move up. Keep coming, keep coming.
05:18 Yeah, yeah.
05:19 You fancy him.
05:21 Aye, just a wee bit.
05:22 Just a wee bit?
05:24 Aye.
05:25 It makes me feel whole again.
05:27 I love him.
05:28 And I would kiss him if I could.
05:29 He cures me.
05:30 I love you, Dylan.
05:31 He is f***ing beautiful.
05:33 The long, muscly vlogs of here.
05:36 What is your favourite song?
05:37 When I Get Home.
05:38 And why does that one resonate with you so deeply?
05:41 Because he's talking about when he's getting hit with my girlfriend.
05:45 And I cannae wait to get hit with my girlfriend.
05:47 Aye.
05:48 Same.
05:49 Aye.
05:50 His music is adequate. It's amazing.
05:52 Just spectacular.
05:54 Spectacular.
05:55 Right, are we still rolling?
05:57 Still rolling.
05:58 Right, okay.
05:59 It's a very, very busy queue.
06:01 There's a lot of people here.
06:02 It's quite rare that you see the battle antics busy,
06:04 especially at this time.
06:06 Because, I mean, it's only 7 o'clock.
06:07 He's not on for another, like, two hours.
06:09 Hello, what's your name?
06:10 Honour.
06:11 Darcy.
06:12 Oh, that's a lovely name.
06:13 Thanks.
06:14 Absolutely.
06:15 A banging night out, to be honest, mate.
06:17 Not very much.
06:19 Because he's brilliant.
06:21 Why's he brilliant?
06:22 Because he is. I love him.
06:24 He's Scottish, isn't he?
06:26 I bet he can hold down pride, man.
