A politician has recognised Paolo Nutini and his family's charitable efforts.

West Scotland MSP Neil Bibby shared a picture of himself with the Pailsey star's father on social media with a positive message.

He visited Castelvecchi’s chip shop, owned by the Paolo family and presented them with a parliamentary motion to recognise their fundraising efforts for The STAR Project.

This initiative works to tackle the impacts of poverty and deprivation in Renfrewshire communities through engagement.

The singer performed at Paisley Town Hall last night for their benefit.
