Since I heard Bailey Tomkinson’s track ‘Movie Scene’ being played on BBC Radio 2 by Brad Paisley goodness knows how long ago, I’ve wanted to find out more about this super talented singer songwriter from St Ives in Cornwall. After spotting her on the bill for Chagstock Festival in 2021, I took aim and got in touch with her manager and after a couple of emails, I had managed to secure some time to chat to her after her set.
