SCOTTISH singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini is set to bring his tour to Cardiff this month.

He performs at Cardiff Motorpoint arena on Friday, October 31 during his biggest tour to date.

Without doubt 2014 is the year of Paolo Nutini. His acclaimed third album Caustic Love went straight in at number one, quickly reaching platinum status.

Speaking about his album and what he hopes the listeners will take from it Paolo said, "More often than not, with inclusion of the new ways of listening to music, people tend to take a few tracks and add it to their playlist. I think it's best.

"I think what (Caustic Love) has to offer is special as an album, as a collective.

"I've never been really known for having singles on these kind of things. I'm only just trying to make an album, and I'm hoping people give it a shot.

"I'm hoping that it kind of sparks the imagination, you know? In these days, that's the best thing I could hope for."

His upcoming tour looks set to cement his place as one of the country's leading artists.

Speaking about his success Paolo said, "The main thing I’ve found is you’ve got to do what you can.

"If you see something as an opportunity and you want to do it, then do it. But don’t do it and moan. If it’s a burden, then say ‘no’.

"Don’t get me wrong, it’s such a privilege to be able to do this. To wake up in the morning, have the fun that we have and still get a sense of achievement from it… it’s pretty special.”

Tickets are available from the Motorpoint arena box office on 029 20 22 44 88.
