His song Long Brown Hair was written when he was a 17-year-old busker in the town.

The tune was later recorded by Shane's Dundee Mod/Punk band The NSA in 2014.

"My dad was from Dunfermline and I still have a number of family members who live there.

"I’ve always believed that the music scene in Dunfermline is like no other I’ve ever seen, anywhere in the UK.

"There’s gigs in Dunfermline most nights, and the whole community pulls together to make it happen."

Mr Shane had previously spoken to the Dunfermline Press about his love for the city and its friendliness back in 2015.

The NSA was a Dundee Mod/Punk band consisting of Nick Shane (vocals/guitars), Daniel Watt (bass), and Steven Tasker (drums).

The name was given by Mr Shane who claims “I got it off Grindr”.

Mr Shane is also set to release a full, previously unheard album of NSA tracks including live tracks recorded in Dunfermline.

The recordings, from almost a decade ago, were made in venues including the Heart + Sound Studios, and PJ Molloys.
