Juliet Turner
Juliet Turner stumbled into making music. She was given a guitar for her fifteenth birthday and met a poet who told her to start writing her own songs. In 1996 whilst at university in Glasgow, she recorded the album ‘Let’s Hear it for Pizza’. Juliet moved to Dublin to finish her degree and to start playing live shows and in 1998 she performed Julie Miller’s song ‘Broken Things’ at the memorial service held to remember the people who were murdered by the Real IRA in Omagh.
In 2000 Juliet released her second album 'Burn the Black Suit' which went double platinum in Ireland and gave the world three catchy tunes – 'Dr Fell', 'Take the Money and Run' and 'Burn the Black Suit', and the duet with Brian Kennedy 'I hope that I don’t fall in love with you', written by Tom Waits.
'Season of the Hurricane' followed in 2004, went platinum in Ireland and in 2005 led to Juliet picking up an Irish Meteor Music Award for best Irish Female Performer and releasing 'Juliet Turner - Live'.
Gentry Morris is a name that is easy to remember, and so is the music that he makes. This young songwriter, now based in Belfast, hails from South Georgia but, having spent 5 years of his young life sharpening and defining his unique sound in the musical melting pot that is Nashville, Morris has the battle scars and the hits to move on to bigger and better things. Gentry has a unique and individual sound with a gift for creating memorable songs.
Gerry Creen
The recent stage appearances and reviews speak loudly of the growing reputation of Belfast singer/songwriter Gerry Creen. Billed as "special guest", he opened for Brian Kennedy at the 2009 Fiddler’s Green Festival – with the event organisers recognising his ability to "captivate an audience with his passionate, finely crafted songs".
In the build up to the Festival, Gerry was busy in studio recording his new album Hindsight – which has already found its way onto the airwaves, featuring on Cherry McIlwaine’s Radio Ulster Late Show.
