Reviews:
Steve Turner @ The Tiger, Long
Eaton (October 2nd 2005) "As it happens, I used
to think that Steve Turner was among the few acts
with that magic 'something' that I prize. I had expected
him to take his place alongside Martin Carthy, Peter
Bellamy, Nic Jones and the rest. I had not expected
him to dissappear for 13 years. Would he still be
good?
[...] Well, I thought he was better
than ever. His weaving, rolling, rhythmic, fantastic
accompaniments on the 'single action dustbin' were magic
to the ears. His material went from Ry Cooder to Handel
via some great Napoleon ballads and, just to show his
versatility, a couple of banjo tunes [...]
The audience were rapt, as well might
be. I hope that Steve's CD will appear soon and will
be followed by many others. [...]
He is a huge talent [...]

A shining example of the music the British folk scene is
capable of producing.

Steve Turner has been turning into one of this country's
finest male singers and performers of folk-song [...] with
him you can truly say that he has shown all the qualities
of a great singer and interpreter of folk song.

This is one of my all time favourite records.
This album is so well constructed [...] the changing pace and the brilliance
of the arrangements keep me glued.
