What KT Did
Tanya Sweeney
Her dad’s got the keys to St. Andrew’s Observatory, her mum’s texting to say she’s just seen Prince William playing hockey, and her new album Eyes To The Telescope is currently bewitching audiences throughout Britain. Things could hardly be better for Scots singer-songwriter KT Tunstall.

Hold On
Kilian Murphy
Every KT Tunstall single looks set to be greeted with unfavourable comparisons to her fabulous smash hit ‘Suddenly I See’ – an unkind state of affairs, perhaps, as almost any song would come out a loser in that particular battle. Here, she delivers a track that closely resembles her golden moment, yet exhibits only a fraction of its brilliance.

Live At The Olympia Theatre, Dublin
Steve Cummins
KT Tunstall doesn’t hang around. Following the release of her debut album earlier this year, her rise through the ranks has been swift and startling. Tonight the Olympia is packed full of loyal screaming fans. Through every break in the set they call her a legend. “You can’t say that!” replies Tunstall. “You can’t call me a lesbian!”
