The Scottish singer-songwriter kicked off his current tour with a sold out show at the First Direct Arena on Saturday night that was attended by Nikki Smallwood, Chris Hawkins and their three-year-old daughter Miley.

Nikki said that Miley has been a huge fan of Capaldi since they played his songs during a trip to the coast and a video clip of her singing her heart out during the concert while wearing a homemade “I (love) Lewis Capaldi” jumper shows how much she enjoyed herself.
