Brit Award-Winning KT Tunstall to Return to Parr Hall This Month

Brit Award-winning singer KT Tunstall is returning to Parr Hall later this month as part of a 2017 tour to showcase her new album KIN.

The Warrington show, on Friday 26 May, is one of eight new dates announced last year to coincide with the release of her single It Took Me So Long to Get Here, But Here I Am.

The Brit Award and Ivor Novello Award-winning singer was honoured further with the Inspirational Artist gong at the Women in Music Awards.

It Took Me So Long to Get Here, But Here I Am is the third single taken from the full-bodied and full-blooded album KIN which was released last year to rave reviews.

KIN debuted at No. 7 on the official UK Album Chart and follows previous critically-acclaimed albums Eye To The Telescope, Drastic Fantastic, Tiger Suit and Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon.

KT had a busy few months at the end of 2016 as she was a special guest in the Jamie Cullum & Friends Jazz Café show, which raises money for Help Refugees, in London on 4 December, and lent her vocal talents to a charity single in memory of MP Jo Cox.

Early 2017 saw her support Simple Minds across Europe before heading out on her own headline tour which includes a show at Warrington's Parr Hall on 26 May.

Tickets (£35/£25/£17.50) are on sale now by calling 01925 442345 or online at www.pyramidparrhall.com.

Pyramid & Parr Hall are two of the North West's leading arts and entertainment venues for music, comedy, dance, drama and much more. The venues have played host to big name acts including John Bishop, The Stone Roses, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland and Peter Kay to name a few.

Parr Hall is a listed building and has been a long standing feature of Warrington's cultural scene since its opening in 1895. It is a medium sized concert venue with 1000 seats. Pyramid opened in 2002, with support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery, as an arts centre focusing on smaller performances and community events. It offers a range of spaces to hire for events, weddings and conferences.

The venues are run by Culture Warrington which is a charitable trust that was established in May 2012 to also manage Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and cultural events across the town including Warrington Festival and Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
