Music review: KT Tunstall at Kelvingrove Bandstand

KT Tunstall is a slick entertainer. She knows how to work a crowd. Her gigs are full of jokey call-and-response routines, requests to wave your phone in the air, and to sing along to songs you’ve never heard before (don’t worry, she’ll teach you how the simple chorus goes first). She’s the sparkly antithesis of the dour singer-songwriter who can barely muster a mumbled “thanks” between each song. Unfortunately, her sense of humour is irritating. Tonight’s audience clearly enjoyed her harmless nonsense. I felt like I was trapped in the company of a relentless children’s entertainer.
