​ This is Turner…Born and bred in Tamesides Audenshaw Turner was introduced to the world with music cursing through her veins & even as a young girl was spoon-fed delicious melody's from the greats such as Dusty Springfield, Scott Walker, Blondie, The Beach Boys to name but a few!
 After moving up the road to Salford & a chance meeting with Guy Garvey at a recording studio Louise was asked to appear on the Mercury Prize-winning & platinum-selling album ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ with Elbow from then on Turner made many Manchester Connections with even Peter Hook asking to jam sometime!
 Salford-based Louise then teamed up with the successful "Art&Soul" band DC Fontana from 2012 to 2013, and enjoyed a busy action packed year gigging around the country Appearing at numerous venues including the 100 club London & Euro YeYe festival Spain and receiving fantastic reviews for the bands EP "Pentagram Man" which was produced by Julian Copes Guitarist Donald Ross Skinner & working closely with 60’s Legend Don Fardon.

 She already enjoys a successful career as an in-demand session singer...& with a string of collaborations and guest appearances on tunes featuring Primal Screams Denise Johnson, Manc Poet and songwriter Edward Barton, Bluebird Kid Clark &The Electric Stars.
 Indeed, her crystalize vocals and powerful lungs have appeared on numerous records but despite her prowess as a much sought-after studio singer this Salford Chanteuse decided to step out on her own with her Debut Mini Album “This is Turner”.
Turner has had an action packed year so far building her platform and becoming the first female solo artist to sign with respected indie label “Detour Records”.
The 6 track Album was produced by another respected Manchester face- Yves Altana ( The Chamelons/ I Am Kloot/ Mark Burgess) and showcases the many sides of Turner, all part of her vintage charm, one minute classic Dusty, the next epic Scott Walker style ballads & just for good measure a track that could easily fit into the next Bond Film.
 Ear Catching,eye catching and described as “One to watch” In John Robbs “Louder Than War” Turner invites you to sample her excellence in wistful melancholic joy.

 "‘Turner’ is one to watch out for" -LOUDER THAN WAR

 "With her platinum bob, panda kohl eyes and expressive voice...Part Dusty/ part Debbie Harry, she's very adaptable to many styles and sounds" - NO OTHER PRESS

 "This is Turner !
 And Ladies & Gentlemen, we should be glad. For here is an artist who is far more than a singer/songwriter. Turner is an Icon in waiting. She is totally out of step with the mass produced, unit shifting, pop of today, and that Music lovers is a good thing ! Turner's songs are dripping in melody & emotion. Lyrically she can be both disturbing & mysterious, without ever losing her knack for a killer hook. Her 2013 take on bohemian suss, make her the perfect antidote to the TV conveyer belt of shame !"

 TONY SALT (Manchester Underground Scene)

 "Oozing a comtemporary freshness in her pristine and melancholic music..With her spacious and unravelling catalogue of sounds along with her good looks and vintage charm Turner's career is on the up! Hailing her as one of Salfords rising new stars.
 THE MANC REVIEW

 "If ever there was a voice that transcended the world, it would be that of Turner" 
 ROCK'ROLL IN MY SOUL 

 "Physically, she’s a France Gall throw-back; she can also strike an Anna Karina-esque ethereal pose. And like that were not enough, she still appears to possess the charm and sense of irony belonging the another fave 60s icon of mine: Françoise Hardy.

 Louise lets her music do the talking. The rest is par for the course; her eyes never say: ‘Look at me!’ She’s unable to take that side of things too seriously…All part of her “vintage charm”.." CHRIS ROSE BLOG

 "This debut EP will put listeners in no doubt that Turner is her own woman with her own identity and a talent to write and perform songs that will reach the parts of the soul that Adele could only hope for....This debut serves as an excellent showcase for Louise Turner’s talents, and it is a faultless performance."
