Moment Paolo Nutini accepts pint of Guinness from concert-goer saying 'this is my type of crowd'

Scottish singer and songwriter Paolo Nutini is always given a warm welcome the moment he steps on stage.

Whether he's playing in Glasgow or elsewhere, we can't blame people for enjoying his music.

But rather than screaming, shouting, dancing and belting out his lyrics, one concert-goer decided to up their game and hand out a pint of Guinness.

The 35-year-old was performing in The Milk Market, Limerick, with the TikTok caption adding the musician "was looking a bit thirsty."

Uploading the video to TikTok, Eimear McShane - or @eimearmcs123 - captured the moment she handed him the alcoholic drink as she yelled "Yesss, go on Paolo."

Taking the drink from her hand, the singer then went back to his mic and said "Now this is my kind of crowd."

Speaking today, Eimear told Deadline News: “It’s a small venue so it was an intimate gig that made it very easy for me to get up to the front to hand him the Guinness. Loads of people struggled to get tickets but I was lucky enough to get one for me and a few friends.

“I was delighted, I thought it was so funny and couldn’t believe he climbed off the stage to take it from me. I bought it specifically for him, I went to the bar to get myself and my friend a drink and asked the barman if he could get it to him from me.

“He said he couldn’t so I said I would hand deliver it myself. I also tried a security guard at the bottom of the stage to give it to him and also got a no but I’m happy they did since I got it to give it to him personally.”

The gig comes shortly after the release of his new album, titled Last Night In The Bittersweet, which saw Paolo, who is from Paisley, score his third number one album with his first music release in eight years.

It also enjoyed success in the Official Vinyl Albums Chart after being the most-purchased physical LP of the week. His achievement also knocks Harry Styles’ hit third album, Harry's House, off the top spot to number two.

For those wanting to see the Last Request singer, he will be coming back to Glasgow for four nights. This will take place in the OVO Hydro during the end of the year with the dates being December 13, 14, 16, and 18.
