My Dad bond so much over music (and clash over it too).  One night about a year ago I played this for him and he was so over joyed to hear one of his favourite artists covering another of his favourite artists.  Also started me on my journey into Christie Hennessy.  Stunning as usual Juliet.

Northern Irish singer/songwriter Juliet Turner has some hints of the old standbys in her folk-inflected music: Nick Drake, Carole King, even a bit of Kirsty MacColl in her vocals. However, Turner's blend of melodic and lyrical folk, pop, and electronics also sits nicely next to contemporaries like Beth Orton and Emiliana Torrini.

Turner is also an engaging live performer,  opening shows for Joan Armatrading in The Royal Albert Hall, Sting in Dublin's Point Depot,  Bob Dylan, Sting, Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, U2, Art Garfunkel and Brian Adams. She has also toured with Joan Armatrading, Brian Kennedy, Ron Sexsmith and The Byrds frontman Roger McGuinn as well as touring extensively with her own shows. 

Turner has released 4 studio albums and one live album. “Burn the Black Suit” achieved double platinum sales in Ireland and in 2005 she picked up an Irish Meteor Music Award for Best Female Performer. 

In September 1998 Juliet performed Julie Miller’s song “Broken Things” at the memorial service for those killed and injured in the Omagh bombing. The song was later recorded for inclusion on the fundraising album “Across the Bridge of Hope”. 

In 2008 Turner released her fifth album "People Have Names" with producer Keith Lawless. The new batch of songs were warmly received - "a gloriously taut collection of songs" (The Irish Times), "a sweet and subtle album from an artist nowhere near as well known as she should be" (Q Magazine). 

Turner's version of Lee Hazlewood's "Sugar Town" featured in the movie "The Nines" with Ryan Reynolds, her recording of "Broken Things" was used under the end credits of the film "Omagh" and her song "Pick a Story" appeared in the short film "Call Me Son". 

In December 2013 Turner released a single track - "The House at the Top of the Hill"
