November 2007 Thank you to everyone who voted for us at the UK Festival Awards this year. Levellers won Festival Feel Good Act whilst Beautiful Days was nominated for a further 3 awards! We won Best Grass Roots Festival in 2006. 4th September THANK YOU to everyone who came to Beautiful Days this year. It was an amazing weekend and, despite the mud, everyone had a great time! There were some outstanding performances from artists and the feedback we've received so far from everyone involved has been great. Thank you for all your comments, feedback and suggestions for next year. 1st August KT TUNSTALL HEADLINES FRIDAY NIGHT We're thrilled to announce Friday's headliner is Scottish singer/songwriter, KT Tunstall who will be the first female to headline a night at Beautiful Days. KT is making a brief stop here in Devon as she prepares to follow up the stunning 'Eye To The Telescope' album with her latest collection, 'Drastic Fantastic'. Tunstall has taken a string of gongs, including Brit and Q awards and even a prestigious Ivor Novello award for her song, 'Suddenly I See' and has sold over 2 million albums in the UK alone. For all her lyrical and musical abilities, it's as a live performer that she excels. Her virtuoso use of a foot pedal recorder has become one her most widely-known trademarks, while her band's tight musicality highlight's the artist's gutsy performances, with a foot in folk, roots and blues. KT joins an already huge line-up of acts including Gogol Bordello, Levellers, Bill Bailey, Afro Celt Soundsystem, New Modely Army, Willy Mason, Show of Hands and Easy Star All Stars to name but a few!
