Glasgow's very own Texas wowed the crowd at the Hydro on Saturday night. 

The group, fronted by Sharleen Spiteri, performed the first of two hometown gigs as part of their The Very Best Of tour. 

Before they take to the stage again tonight, we have captured some of the action from night one.

Texas rose to fame in 1989 with their debut album Southside and this year they released a collaboration album, The Muscle Shoals Sessions, with acclaimed American songwriter & pianist Spooner Oldham.

The group are known for their hits Inner Smile, Summer Son, Keep On Talking, Black Eyed Boy, Say What You Want and more.

We previously reported that Sharleen was given the Chevalier medallion at the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) in France. 

The accolade recognises and celebrates the Bellshill-born artist's contribution to music.

Sharleen said: "It's amazing that I've been honoured in this way for the work of Texas and for our long, long history with France.

"I feel very special and very emotional still and it's great to have been around so many wonderful people that have helped me get there as well.

"So to everyone in France and to the people that decided that I should be given this, I thank you."
