We went to see KT Tunstall at Warwick Arts Centre on Warwick University Campus ( a good venue if you get the raked seats).

KT was preceded by two mediocre warm up solo artists who left a lot to be desired and I would prefer to go straight into the gig although I guess it gives young "talent" a chance to get in front of a large live audience. Both of these two were forgettable forgotten them already

KT herself came on at around 9.30 to wild applause and the whole auditorium erupted as she bagan her set. She played quite a few numbers off her last album - Tiger Suit but also played some of her older favourites much to our delight. What a show she put on. This was a one woman show, no backing musicians and so she digitally sampled all the rhythm and backing sections as she introduced each song. It was trully wonderful to see how this simple intro could be turned into something with such depth. She is a really talented songwiter, musician and singer. Her voice has tremendous power, with great control and variety. Why have we never been to see her before?

Take a look at her equally creative web site: <a href="http://www.kttunstall.com/">http://www.kttunstall.com/</a>

I quote from her web site below - this lady is a deep thinker and it shows in her lyrics - respect!

<span style="color: #0000ff;">“Making the album felt a bit like an archaeological dig, digging deeper to uncover what most turns me on,” says Tunstall. “The best way I can describe it is that I felt I discovered the indigenous part of myself by going back to campfire dance music just as much as club dance music. When I grind my boot heel into the floor it’s connected to when I went clubbing in Berlin. Losing yourself in the middle of nowhere around a fire is no different to losing yourself surrounded by hundreds of people on a dancefloor.” KT Tunstall</span>
