GBX host George Bowie hasn't let coronavirus stop him as he treated fans to a live set from his balcony.
The Clyde 1 presenter was praised for doing "lockdown Glasgow style" as he blared dance tunes from his West End home for a live stream on Facebook.
He went live on his official GBX Dance Anthems page around 7pm yesterday and had listeners tuning in from around the world.

He said: "Just about to go live from my balcony with a GBX set since we can't play any clubs for a while."
George, 52, is a familiar voice in Glasgow thanks to his long-running breakfast show and popular GBX Dance Anthems show and club nights.
Kicking it off, he said: "We're live from my balcony. Alright we’re doing it, we’re dropping some GBX anthems. Here we go.
"I don’t know how long until we get closed down but we’ll keep going."
During the live broadcast, the DJ gave shout-outs to fans tuning in and kept listeners up to date with stories about his wife Ellen who had been “cleaning their flat all day in preparation”.
The show attracted live viewers from the neighbouring flats.
