Raised in St Andrews in Fife, Kate “KT” Tunstall didn’t grow up in a house full of instruments and records as you may imagine from someone who makes being a musician look so instinctive. Instead the only tape her father owned was by an American comedian called Tom Lehrer. Fast forward to her high school years and the discovery of the blues and Joni Mitchell led to a lucrative sideline as a busker. Today she’s a multi-platinum, award winning artist who joined us direct from Heathrow on her way to far swankier engagements.
