KT Tunstall: Eye To The Telescope

KT Tunstall explores how, from the early days of the space programme, artists have been inspired by the wonders of space

When KT Tunstall was a little girl, her physicist father used to take her to the St Andrews Observatory in her pyjamas, and so began a lifelong fascination with space travel which inspired her first album.

From the early days of the space programme, artists have been intrigued by the wonders of space. Set against a soundtrack of space-inspired music from David Bowie to The Killers and Orbital to Kate Bush, Eye To The Telescope is KT Tunstall's personal take on our continuing fascination with the final frontier.
