The last time KT Tunstall was in Yorkshire, she found herself in the kitchen of Bishopthorpe Palace. It was two days before Christmas, the sun had not even risen and the Archbishop of York was cooking up a plate of banana fritters. The doors of the palace had been thrown open to Chris Evans’ Radio 2 breakfast show team and Tunstall provided the musical entertainment. After sampling the fritters, she and the Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield performed a rendition of Fairytale of New York in the Great Hall as a pair of reindeer were paraded around the snow-covered front lawn.
