EXTRA tickets for a Ross-shire charity show by a chart-topping singer-songwriter next week were snapped up within hours.
The Strathpeffer Pavilion performance on Monday is the only Highland date in KT Tunstall's tour celebrating the countdown to Lidl's 100th Scottish store.
The Suddenly I See artist is also expected to make a number of visits during her time in Ross-shire to Lidl stores, one of its local suppliers and a school. She'll also lead a "KT's Kitchen Cook-off" cookery class for some youngsters, showcasing her passion for food. She said it would be "a very Scottish week of music, food and fun". She said of the tie-up: "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."
It was announced earlier this week that additional tickets were being released – but those were snapped up within hours.
Ms Tunstall added: "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.”
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 store in Scotland than with an exciting foodie-themed tour of the country with national treasure, KT Tunstall.”
