KT Turnstall set to rock Ayr Town Hall

-

Scottish rocker KT Tunstall is coming to Ayr.

The ‘ Suddenly I See’ star is set for a one- off gig at Ayr Town Hall next year.

The concert has been organised by supermarke­t giants Lidl to celebrate the countdown to its 100th Scottish store.

In her glittering 15- year career Tunstall has played at major festivals around the world, including T in the Park and Glastonbur­y, and she is set to perform in Ayr on January 22.

Tickets went on sale on Saturday and are priced at just £ 7.50 – a charity donation, which will go to the STV Children’s Appeal.

KT Tunstall said: “I’m delighted to be teaming up with Lidl for a very Scottish week of music, food and fun. There is a powerful place where our mutual interests meet; supporting local suppliers, looking after the environmen­t, and raising important funds for children’s charities in Scotland.

“When I decided to start cooking for myself on tour, it turned into ‘ KT’s Kitchen’ – a mad- dash online cooking show with friends where I prepare very simple, quick, healthy and delicious food backstage.

“The upcoming tour will involve live performanc­es, backstage KT’s Kitchen cook offs, school visits, trips to see local producers and a lot of laughs with myself and the band girls along the way.”

Celebratin­g its 25- year anniversar­y in the country this year, Lidl say they are committed to investing in local producers and has built a network of 60 Scottish suppliers creating over 430 Scotland- made products for its stores.

KT Tunstall will perform to thousands of fans in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Strathpeff­er and Ayr.

Tickets for the exclusive charity gigs went on sale on Eventbrite at 9am on Saturday. The full ticket price, as well as profits from the sale of drinks at the events, will be donated to Lidl’s long- standing charity partner, STV Children’s Appeal, .

Ross Millar, Regional Director for Lidl in Scotland, said: “We are proud to serve Scottish communitie­s and champion the quality produce of our regional suppliers and we can think of no better way to celebrate our 100th Scottish store than with an exciting foodie- themed tour of the country with national treasure, KT Tunstall.”
