A Dumbarton teen has described his first-ever gig at the famous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut music venue as his ‘best performance’ as he opened for a Boston-born folk singer.Lewis Mulkerrin, 19, who goes by the stage name Lubo, has supported American singing superstar Sean McConnell at the iconic Glasgow venue.The teenager has only been performing gigs for a year before he took on King Tut’s, which famously featured Oasis before their rise to stardom.Despite the teenager having never attended the Wah Wah Hut as a fan, Lewis said he understood the gravitas of the moment.He said: “I have been performing for just over a year, and I have been recording music for around two years.

I started recording music during lockdown.“Music has always been my comfort blanket, and during lockdown I decided that I was going to take it seriously.

Lockdown was my time to hammer down and write and record songs.“I try not to get nervous, and I treat every gig how a boxer would treat a fight.

Nerves are good just before it, but I was pacing about and shaking.“I had never been in a dressing room environment before so it was different.
