Adorable moment Glasgow busker hands mic to schoolgirl to perform to Christmas crowds

A talented youngster wowed crowds at the St Enoch Square Christmas fair after trying her hand at busking.

Lucia Mckechnie was in the city centre for festive day out with her family over the weekend where she made her first public performance after a kind busker let her use his microphone.

The eight-year-old future star showed no sign of nerves as she belted out hits from musical Annie and even managed to raise £50 in the process.

Her mum Jade told Glasgow Live: "We were out at the Christmas markets with the full family and Lucia has always wanted to try busking every time we would see someone singing.

"Her gran asked a young boy named Ryan Brown who was busking if she could have a turn to sing a song in the Christmas spirit and he agreed.

"Lucia made up to £50 from kind people giving her tips for her singing which she happily handed to Ryan for allowing her to sing and making her night or in Lucia’s words her dream come true. She now wants to do it again!"

The youngster from Cumbernauld is no stranger to the spotlight having just taken part in a dance show at JCDC and set to star as Lily in Vivace Theatre School's production of Annie.

Jade added: "Her love for musicals, singing and dancing has been there from a very young age. Lucia loves Annie and has not stopped singing all the songs from the moment she watched the movies."

We love to see a star in the making!
