CORNISH TALENT
BAILEY TOMKINSON IS THE 22 YEAR-OLD rising star from St. Ives, Cornwall. In the past couple of years, she has seen praise from major press outlets, topped the iTunes charts multiple times, and played various festivals across the county, including the prestigious Boardmasters. She has often been referred to as the UK’s answer to Taylor Swift but she’s more than a carbon copy of another artist, she’s a music maker and songwriter in her own right. With all this in mind, we caught up with Bailey during these colder months as she prepares to embark on her first UK tour. We chat about life in Cornwall, her music, and much more WORDS: KIERAN WEBBER
