Some of the biggest names in music joined thousands of fans in Glasgow for the 21st Mobo Awards.

Hosted by Melvin Odoom and his Kiss Breakfast Show co-host Rickie Haywood Williams, the ceremony took place at the SSE Hydro and for the fourth time in the city.

There was drama even before the show began, as performer Tinie Tempah pulled out of his performance, blaming "music industry politics".

The British rapper posted a handwritten note on Instagram to say his withdrawal from the show was beyond his control.

The biggest winner of the night was R&B comeback kid Craig David who won Best Male, his first Mobo gong since 2001.

He also performed a mashup of his biggest career hits. David said: "The crowds here have been amazing over the course of my 16 years performing, so to be actually able to perform here again - and the Mobos have supported me from 2000, so it's been an amazing journey.

"It's a celebration of music and I'm just happy to be a part of it to be honest."

There was further drama as the winner of best song was incorrectly handed out, with WSTRN originally named for 'In2'. At the end of the show, host Melvin Odoom announced that the gong was actually destined for Abra Cadabra for Robbery ft. Krept & Konan. WSTRN still came home with the best newcomer award.

Best Female went to Lady Leshurr, whose EP Queen of the Scene and Queen's Speech videos have seen her rocket into the mainstream this year.

A number of other performers and winners entertained the packed out Glasgow crowd. Popcaan, who won best Reggae for the second year running, wowed fans with a performance which began at his table and ended onstage with a lineup of motorbikes behind him.

Clean Bandit and Chas e and Status provided the dance beats, while Professor Green took to the stage solo to entertain the crowd.

He also presented an award having been announced as a surprise guest earlier on Friday.

Some famous Scottish faces also turned up at the bash, including SNP politician Pete Wishart, who tweeted a snap of him and JLS star Oritse.

Actor Sharon Rooney, who stars in My Mad Fat Diary, presented onstage and did well to hype up the Glasgow crowd.

It was not just musical artist which were celebrated at the show. Double Olympic Gold medallist boxer Nicola Adams was give the Paving the Way Award for her incredible career and achievements in boxing.
