ver story: KT Tunstall Little more than a year ago, Katie Tunstall was messing about with her mates in the Fence Collective, singing ditties in Anstruther pubs and enjoying the Fife life. Now, she’s turned her first name into two letters, and with disarming charm is becoming an international pop superstar — spurred on by a radio-friendly album, a rip-roaring appearance on Later . . . with Joo/s Holland and some triumphant homecoming gigs. Too good to be true? Not if Popbitch is to be believed, with its claims that she’s turning into a right old diva and sacking her support staff every five minutes. So we got onto KT’s tour bus to find out whether fame is causing Tunstall to sell her soul to the devil. See page 18.
