TUNSTALL’S ACTING PAST
Scottish star KT TUNSTALL had ambitions to be an actress before she hit on a music career.
The Suddenly I See hitmaker enrolled in her local theatre group while still at school and was so talented she was chosen to take part in a Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) project.
But the venture put her off acting for good when she realised she’d have more chance of success on stage with her guitar.
She says, "Up until I was 16, I was pretty adamant that I was going to act.
Then I went to do this project with the RSC and I saw this catty, competitive, back-stabbing side of theatre. It was just when I started writing music, so I was spending a lot of my time writing.
"At the end of the course, we had a performance cabaret where everybody did a skit and I thought, ‘F**k it, I’m going to play a song.’ And everyone said it was good. I was like, ‘No girls here play guitar or write songs, but they all want to be actresses. Hmmm…’"
