Irish eyes were smiling as veteran singer Daniel O'Donnell took the stage to perform for his loyal Midland fans.
Thousands turned out to watch the The 49-year-old sing, dance and make non-stop jokes at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena last night.
And the predominantly female crowd, were not left disappointed as he performed some of the songs that made him such a household name including I Just Want to Dance With You and My Donegal Shore.
Half-way through the night, O'Donnell upped the tempo, with a medley of rock 'n' roll classics including Buddy Holly's That'll Be The Day, for which O'Donnell came on stage dressed in a sparkly silver jacket and quipped: "Justin Bieber – eat your heart out".
He was also joined on stage by fellow Irish singer Mary Duff for some of the slower numbers and they also did a short Irish dancing routine together, which received thunderous applause from the audience.
Taking a break between songs, O'Donnell quashed rumours that he was to retire soon, saying: "You're not getting rid of me that easily."
