An Elvis impersonator in Scotland gave an impromptu gig to lift lockdown spirits, earning a rapturous reception from his neighbours -- but a visit from the police about the noise.
Dean Allsopp donned a white jumpsuit and put speakers on the balcony of his flat in Coatbridge, east of Glasgow, on Monday, crooning the 1972 hit "Burning Love".
Mobile phone footage of the concert has been seen thousands of times online, showing neighbours cheering and applauding the singer.
But it also showed uniformed police turning up at his door -- to boos from locals.
Allsopp, 47, was quoted as saying by the Glasgow Live website: "It was all for the NHS (National Health Service) and police. I wanted to do it professionally.
"No one in the street knew what was going on. I set the speakers up. I was really nervous -- more than it would be if I was going on stage."
