Aside from the singer, song writer, yeller and story teller being a heritage music artist…

KT Tunstall was also part of this Summer’s PASSPORT: BACK TO OUR ROOTS’

(alongside Public Service Broadcasters, Elbow, Slow Readers Club and Metronomy)

Big Artists.

Small Gigs.

Saving Venues.

Donation proceeds went towards the inndividual spaces and Music Venue Trust’s #SaveOurVenues campaign, which is very dear to #TheZineUK doc’s heart and tale.

KT Tunstall said of playing PJ Molloys in Dunfermline:

"It has been so meaningful to me and many others over this last mad year to see such support and love for our grassroots music venues” 

“Music lovers and musicians have come together to help protect the future of these small but mighty venues, many of which exist as labours of love, kept alive by blood, sweat, tears and a deep passion for music.

It was a massive challenge for me getting booked in music venues when I was trying to get somewhere, so a venue like PJ Molloys is essential for aspiring musicians making their way up.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported the campaign."

Passport Back To Our Roots raised almost £140k to safeguard the futures of grassroots music venues struggling to survive the COVID-19 crisis.

We are now six months into the #ReviveLive campaign and so much difference has been made. Respect. Every live show that takes place across the country is extra special in this new world.
