A top British singer due to perform at the Bermuda Music Festival has raved about the Island's attractions in a leading British newspaper.

Natasha Bedingfield told the Telegraph: "Bermuda is not only breathtakingly beautiful, but also offers so much for someone like me who's passionate about watersports and being active. There's water-skiing, windsurfing, snorkelling, boating and much more - it's great to be able to keep fit while having fun."

Ms Bedingfield, who will perform at the festival on Friday October 5 added: "The beach isn't just where I indulge my sporty side, it's also my favourite place to chill out. The water is stunning and the sand, with its celebrated pink hue, dazzling. The Island also has a great cultural and historical heritage and the people are incredibly friendly. The food is excellent and I love fresh fish so I feel as if I'm utterly spoilt. I love the fact I can go whenever I feel like a break, as it's never the wrong time of year: Bermuda only really has two seasons – spring and summer – so it's always bright and sunny.

"But best of all, my time in Bermuda always leaves me relaxed, and I return to everyday life feeling refreshed and able to get back to work with a clear mind."
