I have to say your music and your voice excites a “wee” bit! I’m waiting for the next time you come back to Ballinamore… Could be a while given we lost the “Moo” wine bar to the recession! Keep trucking Juliet!
Hi Juliet, I am an Irish guy living in Adelaide, Australia and this morning I put on Burn the Black suit for the first time in a long time, full blast on my new system. My wife and I still love it. It is my favorite song ever and it was emotional….. Brought back lots of memories of Ireland and going to see you in Dublin 10 years ago….. Thanks for the memories. Keep on singing!!!!
Hi Juliet, My name is Deirdre and I’ve loved you ever since first being introduced to “Burn the Black Suit” years ago. I am particularly in love with Belfast Central and I was wondering if I could have your permission to put it on my demo? I have a version recorded but I didn’t put it up online as I don’t own the rites to it. Its quite a simple interpretation really, just me singing and playing piano, If I forwarded the recording of it to you and you liked it, would it be ok to put it on my myspace page? Sincere condolences on the loss of your friend xx
Hi Juliet,
I have been to many of your shows, and I would just like to pass on our condolences to you on the death of Derek Nally. I know he’s been with you from the start and helped get your career started.. Thinking of you during this hard time and we’ll meet up again when your next in Portlaoise,
Angela Lynch
After attending Brian Kennedy’s concert in Belfast 17/06/10 i was blown away by your voice………… you are amazing singer and songwriter. Hope to see you in concert in the near future.
Thought your set in Belfast on thursday night was great. The lyrics of your songs seem to tell a story that we all can relate to. Are you not on Twitter yet? It’s a great way for fans to follow you thanks for the beautiful music Juliet xx
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your set at the Brian Kennedy gig in Belfast last night. I really enjoyed your performance and also the 2 songs in Brian’s set. I didn’t have enough cash to buy your latest CD last night, but have just ordered it on amazon! I liked how you explained the background to some of the songs you sang last night. There are a few songs on Season of the Hurricane that I’d be interested to hear the background of one day! All the best xx
Hi Juliet, coming from Canada for a visit to Ireland and would love to catch one of your shows. Any chance you have more dates coming for June? North or South? Love your music. Thanks in advance. Mark.
Hiya Juliet!
I went to see you in the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen, Fermanagh a few years ago and got a picture take with you when you were promoting your album ‘Lets all shout for Pizza!’
I live in Enniskillen and Enniskillen feis is coming up soon. I was hoping to do one of your songs; ‘Belfast Central’, but i can’t find the sheet music for it anywhere. Do you know where I could get it please?
Love your work, hopefully hear from you soon, Lisa
My ten year old daughter sings ” People have names..” great song – can I get the chords. I play bad guitar but it would be good to play with her..Thanks Jimmy & Ailish
Sometimes a personal disappointment can put poetry into one’s little head:
‘I will sit down and be amazed at you!
I will write
till my pen dries out:
Greetings that will hail your victories and defeats, alike.
Words that will engrave themselves into deep memory.
Thoughts that will convey my confusion and clarity.
Touches, some of which you will feel, others you won’t notice.
Letters, written but unsent.
Under the light of the calm moon and the furious sun,
I will resist like a weed cracking open concrete.
An accomplice to the edge of absurdity,
A rebel executing revolts.
And after all these words, thoughts and creatures have found
freedom from me, I will sit down and be amazed at you.
You, my quick judge of me.’
Just been reading through the other guestbook entrys and nobody mentions how beautiful and sexy Juliet is! Us men are just too politically correct or shy! ( or have dreams of vampires!!?!)
Juliet you are a stunningly beautiful,sexy woman! ( I know that’s not the main thing but its true and its gotta be said somewhere here)
I went to see JT in concert last year in Ballymena on my brother’s recommendation and have been a fan ever since!I recently went to the gig in Belfast and it was brilliant! class! JTS songs are soo good and the introductions between songs were sometimes funny, sometimes touching but always beautiful,down to earth and meaningful with her,very own,and very special sense of humour.Belfast central at the end blew me away!
( I’m dead chuffed to have Juliets autograph on the JT live cd I bought that night).Thanks Juliet for saying hello to your fans at the end!
I have just got online after the gig in the naul last night….had your live album and loved it but not any other music.. a friend asked me to go to the gig…it blew me away…what a beatiful venue which was the perfect setting for such beautiful music…vampires, tuesday night ladies and everything beautiful is burning blew me away…looking forward to catching up on more of your albums…hope to see you live again soon…Paraic….ps the chat between songs was great i wish more performers would do this
just been to your gig in The Black Box, Belfast (remember I was the guy who told you you’d replaced Nigella as my perfect woman?! lol). I was blown away (do people still say ‘blown away’?!), by your music and beautifully understated performance..I’m a recent convert but now a devoted one, Hope you’re back in Belfast soon, have a great new year xxx
Hi Juliet, We have just watched the movie Omagh and your singing of “Broken Things” has really touched my heart. I must buy a copy of a CD with this song .
Please can you tell me which CD to buy as all the ones I have viewed on the net donot appear to include this title.
Keep singing. Your voice is an inspiration and believe it or not we are really classical music fans and in our 70′s
Best regards,
Veronica.
Hi Juliet
Hope you are feeling better, sorry to hear you’ve been ill. I saw you last year in the Empire and loved your work, really looking forward to the xmas show in the black box.
I was wondering if you had a support act arranged for the black box gig? I’m helping some friends to get some gigs to play thier new material which I think might appeal some of your fans, and hopefully you also? The go by the name Bruce Joseph and include guitar, cello and accordian. Here’s a wee link to their recent live video. Let me know what you think, or if you could maybe let me know what promoter to get in touch with in relation to the gig that’d be great as they’d love to support you. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&contributorid=10254298
Get well soon and good luck with your course and exams.
Thanks

Hi Juliet,
I came across “Joy” on the radio today and I really loved it so I decided to download a few more this evening!
I read that you’re doing speech and language therapy in TCD. Wow! I qualified from the course not too long after you joined. I hope that your final year goes well and that everyone’s keeping calm. I hope that you make the most out of college. The job is excellent and I really enjoy it despite having found the course difficult. Don’t listen to the “C” woman!
Throughly enjoyed the gig at The Cellars, Southsea, it was a small crowd but a big atmosphere. It was so good to hear and to meet Juliet in person, she is such a warm person and really pleasant to speak to. Of course her performance was great, that goes without saying. I will do my best to contact Hugh as soon as possible.
All the best.
I cut short my attendance at a conference in Copenhagen yesterday to make sure I got back for the gig in Brighton last night and I am so glad I did. The format was great, three very good singer/songwriters performing their own material and supporting on others. There was a good crowd but still nice and intimate. I bought a couple of the CD’s available and listened to Ashes and Gold as I drove home. I would like to thank all three of you for a very enjoyable evening. Yvonne – I really like the CD. Gentry – good luck with the new album. Juliet – you’re just fabulous and I have washed & scrubbed my favourite King Edward for you.
Just read through some of your fans’ comments. You might as well plan and prepare for a South American Tour, as you are not only popular in Brazil but also in Chile! I have introduced your music to some of my friends and colleagues in Santiago and they loved what they heard. If you ever seriously consider performing there, especially in Chile, let me know, as I might know people who could help your manager set up the logistics. I am there with work next June or July.
Hope to see you tomorrow, if I can get away from uni. Auch, the joys of teaching!

Hi Juliet – your phone doesn’t seem to be working in ther UK. If you get this in time, do you want some photos of the three of you at Swindon (I’m coming anyway)?
Hi Juliet.
Thanks for a great gig in York 11/9 – the first time I have seen you play live and it was good to meet you. I was introduced to your music a couple of years ago by Mick from Newtownards (I think you will remember from the gig) and since then I have been a fan. Your lyrics are intriguing, the music is unusual, varied, great to listen to (good to hear the ‘Norn Iron’) and I really enjoy playing it (amateur only, I should add!). I was pleased that you explained the origin of “Tuesday Night Ladies” – I had been wondering, since I bought the cd, who these people were. I looked up “Dean and Deluca” on the internet (Yes – sad isn’t it!)- now I know – posh food.
Hope to hear more music from you soon – if you can fit it in whilst finishing your studies. Until then, will continue to spread the word in the North East – what was it again???? …………… Enjoy the tunes and……….Ah yes – buy cds!
P.S. On the subject of cds, I should have bought Gentry’s on the night – have looked for it since but no luck.
Hi Juliet and a great big thanks for last night’s performance at The Duchess in York. I came over to Belfast to see you last at the Black Box and didn’t think the performance could be surpassed. Last night I had just arrived from Portugal to see you and would have travelled ten times further for such a show. All three of you were individually and together absolutely briliant. That Gentry will go far – sounds like the very early Jackson Browne. BUT the highlight was your performance of Belfast Central – cynical old me had to brush away a tear or two.
Wonderful meeting you, Yvonne and Gentry before Friday’s gig at the Duchess in York ( not to mention PR guru Dave !!). Really enjoyed the banter, the gig format and of course the songs. Every success for the remainder of the tour and pass our way again soon …..please!
Hi Juliet, we are looking forward to seeing you as always. It will be great to hear another new singer, as well as you and Gentry. We love to make the trip to your gigs in the UK and Ireland but this time it is 15 miles from home in Norwich, which is good. See you there!
Hi Juliet. I intend to catch you at the Cabbage Patch Pub in a couple of weeks. I’ll be the one with the guide dog, so please do say hello if you catch sight. Loving the new album and recognised Gardner Street choir straight away on “People Have Names”. Off to buy the 2004 album now as I’m a bit out of touch.
Thanks for the lovely music which reminds me why I love being Irish.
I am a 13 year old fan of yours. My mum and dad have been listening to you for years and seen you live lots of times. Infact, my dad is in Omagh at the moment managing the gold mine there! We are all coming to see you in Baisingstoke on 26th September because my cousin lives down there and we think needs introducing to your music! I would really like to know how to get hold of guitar chords for your songs as I’m teaching myself and love your music, especially Business as Usual.
See you on 26th!
Lilian x
Hey there, I saw your performance at the Food and Music Fest in Belfast a while ago and thought you were magnificent. I went out and bought ‘People Have Names’ the day after and haven’t stopped listening to it yet. It’s absolutely wonderful, and your live performance was stunning as well. Keep it up!
well that was just lovely- good to hear that rather fetching voice of yours again in caberet voltaire tonight, and those other lads sang beautifully too, enjoy the rest of your tour!
Confused? Me? Well, yes… who is playing with you in Edinburgh this week? Yvonne Lyon and Gentry Morris? Yvonne Lyon and Ryan Donn? Parsley the Lion and Donn Morris? Various sources, various stated combinations. Clarity please?
And thank you….
Hi Juliet, I was overjoyed when I saw you were coming over to play this summer only to find you have bypassed the North East again! I am distraught. The nearest you come to Newcastle is YORK which is miles away. Any chance you can fit one in nearer us. The Sage or the Customs house perhaps? I’m so pleased you are touring with Gentry & Yvonne, both cracking performers. Loved them both when we saw you in Barrels at Berwick last time. Please, please, please try and do a North East concert. Your most loyal fan. Trev.
Hi Juliet,
I’ve been a fan now since my school days, well over a decade now. So excited that you are coming to Edinburgh as I haven’t been able to catch you home in Ireland for so long. Your music has a huge place in my heart and (yes this is very corny), in that of my fiancees as we hope to have “Pizza and Wine” as the first song at our wedding. We cannot wait to see you in Cabaret Voltaire, I’m sure it’ll be another magical gig. Thank you Juliet!
I ‘m not used to doing this, and left this message on the Mallow Gig first..then realized that this was a better place…
We (my husband David and I) are great fans. We saw you recently in Inverness, and thought you were FAB. I was really interested to hear about your training in SALT and hope the exams are going well. I have a son with Asperger Syndrome, and have written several books about/for kids with AS published by Jessica Kingsley. One of them – called What Did You Say? What Do You Mean? – has recently been turned into a pack of cards which can be used by Speech & Language therapists and others with children on the autism spectrum to help them learn about and enjoy metaphorical language. After the Inverness we bought and you kindly signed some of your CDs. I wanted to send you a pack (signed!) of What Did You Say? metaphor cards with my love and thanks. How would I do that? All the best Jude
Hello Juliet …. I heard the song “Broken things” from you in the english lesson we saw the movie about Omagh …. I liked your voice and i nearly cried because it was so sad in that context…. And now I took at as my solo for the music exam … but I have a problem I can’t find out which chords i have to play … i need the tabs but can’t find them … I hope you can help me … If you cant’s it’s ok too ^^ … just wanted to say that i really love that song from you Greetings from Sarah (Denmark)
many thanks for your comment, I’ve no idea how you heard my music in Brazil, but I’m really glad you like it and thanks for passing it on to other people.
Hi,
sorry my mistype, I want to say fan instead of fun but to be honest “I do have a lot of fun with your lovely songs and a lot of love with your funny songs (in a good way)”
I¬¥m a “big” fun from Brazil (6’7” tall) of you and your work, and I would say congratulations for you but I believe it would reduce what you really deserve to just a “congratulations”. And also everyone I shows your music like it. The lyrics are brilliant and the music are wonderful. Unfortunatly I¬¥m too far to follow you in your shows but I wish. All the best for you and your band. Filipe.
Hi Juliet
We saw you at The Met in Bury (again) and really enjoyed the evening. But you sang a song by a compatriot of yours and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. Can you help my ailing memory please??
CARDIFF….Will you return??
I had just found out you were going to be playing on 17th March and was set to buy tkts when we got the bombshell that The Point closed down…i love that place.
So it was a double blow, can you tell me if you are going to come back to Cardiff as you didnt arrange a different venue nd never posted anything on the news pages…
I have lived in Cardiff for 7 years now and find it hard to see some of the homegrown talent as when they do a ‘UK tour’ it rarely fetures Wales…can you pass on a full UK map to any promoiters to ensure we get to see you all when you are over.
I came to see you at the Stables for the second time and just find your performances spellbinding. You have one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and the Northern Irish accent is lovely in song. Please don’t stop writing and performing songs Juliet. I’m sure you will make a great speech therapist but there is no better therapy than listening to music and especially your music, so hopefully you will manage to do both. Come back to the Stables soon .
Jumping to conclusions, no doubt they’re wrong ones, as ever. But your reply to the “Will you tour again?” question at Bury on Friday – although non-commital – certainly furrowed the brow.
Flavour those thoughts with the lyrics of the Christie Hennessy song , add my observation of the apparant disappearance JT’s CDs from public view at my local HMV, throw in the Speech Therapy studies – and this JT devotee’s imagination is running riot.
Have we witnessed one of Juliet Turner’s last UK gigs?
BTW: Don’t let that empty front row at the Bury Met sway any decisions you might make. The rest of theatre was full. Telford’s Warehouse at Chester was pretty well populated too.
Only heard your music a few years ago when BBC Radio Manchester played Rough Lion’s Tongue on one of their late night shows. I’d never heard of Juliet Turner but the song was so good I bought the Burn The Black Suit cd and wasn’t dissapointed. I now have People Have Names and will no doubt pick up more of your back catologue as this was also excellent. We were at your Bury Met show last night and enjoyed it and would wish both you and Gentry all success in the future.
The Milton Keynes concert was fabulous. We listened to Juliet’s and Gentry’s CDs on the way back to Cardiff this morning. It was a great great evening. Thanks Juliet, Brian and Gentry.
Excellent show at the Musician in Leicester and at the Stables in Milton Keynes. Music is getting even better and excellent support singer too. Hope you can tour again in the not too distant future
Hi Juliet
Wow. I was totally blown away by your gig (london). I’d never heard your stuff before, but the whole thing was beautiful. Just a great performance, one of the best gigs I have ever seen. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
Thanks for the wonderful as always music at the
the aptly named Back Room at GJ’s. Come back soon and don’t leave it as long next time between London gigs.
Thanks for coming back to The Musician in Leicester. Brought a crowd, some diehard fans, some new. We loved it all. You just get better and better. The new CD is gorgeous. Discovered Duke Special at one of your shows and now Gentry Morris! Think I have died and gone to heaven!
Have no alternate venues been suggested for Cardiff? Really disappointed as was going to be treat for Wife’s birthday. ‘Belfast Central, Burn the..’ We’ll have to stick the CD on!
So glad Ezra and I flew over to see you in Dublin before Christmas, now that Cardiff is cancelled. Can you try and get a couple of gigs in the south west if you come over in the summer?
Hi
Just to say how much I enjoyed the concert in Ballymena just after Christmas.First time I’ve heard Juliets music but I’ve bought all her cd’s since! Great music, great lyrics, great show!
You are a great singer and musician. Any sign of you coming to Sligo again ? I saw you there some years ago. I went to see Nanci Griffith live in the Hawks Well theatre , last night ….she was not half as good as you ( even though she was probably double the price ! ).
Great to see you’re coming to the Zebra Bar in Maidstone in March – I’ll be there. I’ve seen you several times at Greenbelt and always enjoyed listening to you. I’m a sucker for an Irish accent!
Juliet,
I read that a poet said to you ‘..record your own stuff..’ maybe this is one of those urban (Dromore ! rural ! ) myths.. I thought would it be cool to come full circle back to a poet again..
I love your work and it would be fantastic to collaborate with you on a reading / recording and / or a poetry to song project. I have about 1,000 poems and yet have been content to remain invisible however this year (2009) I’ve decided I’m ready (ironically).
I am running something called des donnelly’s poetry stew in strule arts centre, Omagh – feb mar apr and I would roll out the red carpet (seriously) if you would come and read a few poems … ? (hey free pizza)
Juliet, people are asking me for copies of my (net compiled) DVD. I would need your permission for that. I’m not selling the, just covering my time and costs. So, I’m asking for your permission to give copies to your fans.
Of course – there isn’t one. Except I have one, couldn’t wait for you to release one and couldn’t wait for the huge space between catching you live Juliet. So, I gathered all the wee live clips of you from the Internet, improved the sound, enlarged them (trying to keep the quality as much as I could) – and the result ?????
I watched it on my 32 inch TV last night, and though the quality (obviously) isn’t perfect – it is extremely watchable and listenable to. If you’re nice I’ll send you a copy Juliet.
(Maybe when your fans are making their own DVDs, this is a sign that you should contemplate doing the same??)
Are you still playing in Mallow this Sat – 17th? It’s still listed on this website but not on your facebook page and the venue says you were scheduled to play but haven’t confirmed?
Just to remind all Juliet’s old (and new) fans that we have a Yahoo group dedicated to and by her fans where you can discuss gigs, songs, her hair styles – just about anything Juliet related. The address is http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/julietturner/
All welcome.
Cheers and a Happy New Year to you all and to Juliet.
Great to see Juliet at the Braid Arts Centre Ballymena – a visit to Co Antrim was long overdue. The lyrics are insightful and honest and each tune is preceded by a personal introduction or an amusing anecdote – think Nanci Griffith or Bruce Springsteen live but with more self deprecating humour.
And the new songs from “people have names” are some of her best works (so far).
Really enjoyed you, Brian Grace and your guests, at the Empire last night. Tuesday Night Ladies is super, and you did Christy Hennessy proud with “I am a star”. Thanks, too, for chatting afterwards and for ‘introducing’ me to Kate Rusby as a result of your cover version. I really do think you should try and hook up with her, sometime. I’ll keep my promise to leave a suitable message on her site. Good luck with the rest of the tour, and with your studies, and please keep doing what you are doing.
Really enjoyed your gig at the Ardhowen Theatre last night. What a tremendous talent you are, so full of humility and modesty. We feel so fortunate to be able to attend such a quality gig, right on our doorstep. Look forward to seeing you next time round in Enniskillen.
Juliet, have been listening to People Have Names for the last while – recommended to it by a friend of Keith’s (Lawless). Really enjoying it – congrats on a great songbook and great performances
Hi Juliet, The gig at McDaids Midleton on Dec.9th was up to your usual high standard. You always seem so relaxed at McDaids and this comes through in your performance. Being a Christy Hennessy fan I enjoyed your singing of “I am a star” and it was so apt just a year after his death. Looking forward to the next gig in Midleton and thanks to Tony Moore for the night.
enjoyed seeing you at out to lunch, will miss the end of year gig but will catch up in 09. stick at the therapising and keep the footwear edwardian……….. or at least georgian.
Juliet,
Thanks for a wonderful night in McDaids in Middleton on the 9th Dec. I have seen you a few times at this stage and thought you were on top of your game last night, the best I have seen you yet. As I said after to you your own songs were brillant, but your singing of Christie Hennessy’s song “I am a Star” was sublime and very emotional. The way you introduced each song really addded to the whole occasion. Long ago after a gig in the lobby bar, I had the cheek to say to you after “stay grounded”. Well you are still totally and give of yourself at every performance I have seen. Long may you continue. Like Tom Waits all it will take to make you mega rich is Bruce or the like to cover just one song of yours, and its just waiting to happen. Thanks again, John
(Do you really read these things?.. Oh well, here goes…)
I had not heard of you until recently, when I came across some songs on the radio. I was knocked out by the loveliness and cleverness of your writing and singing. Are you likely to perform in my part of the world (Newcastle, England) at some point? It would be great to see your talent here. Thanks for the music. K.
Juliet,
I have just received some of your songs from my sister who heard you in Ballinamore & how wonderful they are! I have used some lyrics in my work with teenagers who are truly having a lousy start in life – they all love the idea that their ‘opportunities are open to the sky, there all the time & invisible to the eye’. ‘Pick a story’ reduces me to tears as so few of these kids have any one to support them at all even in their earliest childhood.
Your Cds are on my Christmas present list for friends & family. Please come to Wales!!
With love
Marie
Hey Juliet, Herad your song after the bomb in Omagh & knew your name rang a bell! Have listen to various other songs, which have been fab! My Dad is Rev Ivan Carson who was minister in Omagh & I went to The Academy in Omagh! Thought you might like to hear from those in your past too! hope all is well with your course & email me sometime. Best of luck, Tanya (Carson).
hi Juliet!!!I’m italian and I was in dublin for a month this summer, so I could know your music…that it’s fantastic!!!I have to be grate to my english teacher that she made me know it!!!
It’d be great if you come to italy for a gig!!!!!
So good to see you again,even if it is only on video. You still reduce me to tears. Makes me realise how much England has missed you over the past few years. If you are coming over in the new year I can’t wait. Nice new hair style, as well!
Hey
Still listening to you after all these years. Still relevant. Met you in Glasgow on a few occassions, and please come back to Scotland to play. I still play your songs live and still cry on stage while playing certain songs. I do it with my eyes closed so the people don’t notice. Your lyrics are amazing, and I still long to hear you. It would be wonderful if you could play somewhere like Knockengorroch next May. You could come for a dance in my dance tent, I would be honoured, and it would be so funky.

Greetings from Moo Wine Bar, Ballinamore. Hope the touring is going well – please say hi to Brian, Elder and your sister for us. We have some sad news – we’re having to close Moo! When we started Moo just over a year ago we decided to give it a year in the hope that things would be picking up by now. Unfortunately things are quieter than ever for a number of reasons – economic downturn, drink/driving ban blah blah blah. Having said that, we’ve really enjoyed the experience and we’ve had some brilliant nights – especially the music gigs such as yours. I was looking at the video of your gig recently and it was an excellent show and the audience loved it. Anyway, onwards and upwards and all that. Our last night of business is this Saturday 4th October and then, who knows. Thanks to you and the lads for a great show. Hopefully we’ll catch up with you when you’re next in Ireland.
All the best,
Brent & Mary
Moo Wine Bar, Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim
I have been a fan for a number of years and was so excited to see your article in Buletin! How fantastic that you’re joining our wonderful profession, I really love my job (not something too many people can say!) . The study was hard but well worth it and when I have a rough day at work I just come home and put on one of your CDs. I’m sure you’ll make a fab SLT, just please don’t give up the music, it would be such a loss to the music world. I’ll keep shouting about you everywhere I go, even more now I know that you’re a fellow speechie! Best of luck with the studies, can’t wait to buy the new album.
Jen (SLT, London)
Just got round to reading my September RCSLT Bulletin (very busy therapist)
and am so pleased that you are continuing with your study. It is an incredibly satisfying job – worth all the hard work to get here – and I hope you will have a wonderful time studying, and hopefully then practising. Thankyou for ensuring that people know the value of SLT’s
All the best, ann
Hello, I echo the last entry and really hope you’ll come to the West Country – we’ll travel anywhere around here! Your voice is wonderful and moves me so much! Broken things is beautiful – by far the best rendition!
Please let us know when you come to England! Best wishes
Hello Juliet
We were introduced to your music a few years ago and we have been waiting for you to come down to the West Country (Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire)
We both chop and change what we have on our ipods but your tracks stay put.
You have a lovely natural voice and should be a major star. Keep singing, keep writing and keep performing. We have been to The Quays in Galway a few times and wish we could be there for your upcoming gig.
If you want a few venues in our area we can recommend The David Hall in South Petherton, Som. (Seen Kate Rusby,Seth Lakeman and Karine Polwart there) . .and The Salisbury Arts Centre, Salisbury,Wilts.. Both have a lovely intimate atmosphere. We do hope we will be able to see you one day. It is a treat we are eagerly looking forward to. We wish you everything that you would wish for yourself. Dave & Pat
Just a quick ‘thank you’ to all involved in the show at the Island Arts Centre in Lisburn – it turned out to be the best value ticket in town with sets from three fantastic local artists and a song from Gentry Morris too! If you have all JT’s albums and wonder what to buy next check out Brian Houston, Ben Glover and the aforementioned Gentry.
……………..and if you work for the Island Arts Centre……have you any idea how wobbly those tiered seats are!!!
We came to see you in Bray in August 2006. You were amazing, we really enjoyed our time spent at your gig. We listened to your music the entire summer that year. A year later, I gave birth to a gorgeous little girl, who we named after you. We are living in Australia now, so if you ever come to WA make sure to come to Geraldton, the Fremason pub has gigs there all the time just the right setting for gigs. It would be amazing to have you perform here!! My dear friend Sarah, sent me your latest album, which we love!! thank you for your music,
kelly
So….yeah…my new shipment of CD’s came in today…only about a week too late to be useful. The last couple days have been relaxing though. Had a BBQ with my friend Jamie and I am planning to go and see The Dark Night for the second time this Friday night. I hope you are enjoying your time off…we miss you…
I don’t see it mentioned here as yet but I see Juliet, Brian & Ben are scheduled to play the Island Centre, Lisburn, N Ireland on Tuesday 5 August. Box office number is 028-9250-9254 or try http://www.islandartscentre.com.
Thanks so much for another amazing night on Moon River last Thursday – we really enjoyed it! Loving the new songs & the gig was a great mix of old and new! Looking forward to seeing you again soon (“,)
Hi Juliet,
your number one Dutch fan here (are there any more out there?). Thanks for the new CD. It’s fantastic. We’ve listened to it all the way during our holidays in France. Was a bit afraid for an overdose but worried for nothing. Still listening happily.
Even the kids like it and asking all the time what the song is about. Which is a bit difficult to explain if you don’t even know yourself half the time… So next time please also add a little booklet with the stories behind the songs, please .
Or come over and tell us…?
Nevertheless, enjoy all the attention and the holidays and we’ll be waiting for the next one,
Edwin
I went to see you playing on Saturday night in Kinsale. It was such a gorgeous evening and place. Well done on a fantastic performance, this is my third time seeing you and you only get better and better.
great gig in Moo Wine Bar Ballinamore Co Leitrim last night, loved the new songs but was great to hear some of the oldies but goodies again, lovely chilled out atmosphere very mellow and Elder was brilliant too. Keep up the good work.
Juliet Big treat to get your personalised CD from ‘my lovely Rob’ and his amazing Maria. Here’s to Edinborough and Fregoli’ Theatre’s fun and success there. Congrats. on ‘sound’ Irish Times article, and – what a lovely pictures too . I will continue to enjoy your music, yor lyrics a your very own special brand. Any chance of another Letterkenny concert as I missed the Derry One.
I heard you first 5 years ago on the radio (Gloria Hunniford) when we spent 6 months on a working holiday in Omagh while my husband helped project manage the college there. We emigrated to Oz 26 years ago and go back for occasional holidays. Heard you on the radio and immediately sought out your album “burn the black suit”. My daughter is n an extended working holiday in London and we hope to visit her next March so am keeping tuned to your website for any gigs you may have on while we are in UK as my sisters and brother live in Portrush/Ballymoney/Carrickfergus/Newtownabbey area. Also have made some lifetime friends in Omagh as when I was there I joined the Omagh Writers Group. Anyway, good luck with your new album. Am hoping to acquire a copy of it through my family over there.
I was interested in the article about speech and language therapy. I am a musician and perormer, and also a life-long stammerer, who has gained a degree of freedom in communication. I was most interested to know, Juliet, if you also have a speech issue, or whether the therapy angle is more out of personal interest. If you have encountered speech issues as a performer (or indeed just as a human being) I’d be interested to compare notes. Best wishes…Chris Ward. PS – ‘Everything Beautiful is Burning’ still plays all the time in my car, and still has the power to make me cry!
Saw you two years again at greenbelt festival
Are you playing again this year?
if not when are you coming to the south coast?
I love your music. I always have one of your songs in my head.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
I would love to see you live, my brother and wife just saw you in Clifden last weekend. He sent me your other CD a few years back and I love it. You need to play a gig at The Tractor Tavern here in Seattle sometime in the near future.
Cheers
Thanks so much for coming to augrim, it really was such a privilage to have you come to Wicklow, I really enjoyed the gig and all your new songs and have been enjoying the album ever since, I really hope you come back to augrim and next time you do please play ‘Elvis is in the building’ and ‘vampire’ (two of my many favourites!), good luck with the rest of your studies, your tour and most of all the new album!
Hi Juliet,
I just wanted to thank you for the gig at Creggan. I think it’s amazing that you’re willing to travel so far to bring your music to your fans. The standing ovation really did mean we didn’t want it to end!
When I saw you at The Stables a couple of years ago we had a brief chat afterwards and you said “I need to write some more tunes” well you did that and what “tunes” The new album is fantastic. Not a bad track and so well put together, the way People have names ties it all in and gently finishes the album is just beautiful.
Thank you for it. I needed it now.
just finished listening to the new albumfor the 5th time today have driven all my staff mad with it, it only get better and better each time. Thanks for putting on a brill show in clonmel last night you seem to be getting better every time i see you. Can’t wait to see you back in clonmel again but this time don’t leave it as long.
I am looking at your website with interest and my Mum and myself read your article in the Irish Times Magazine at the weekend. I was interested to read that you are now studying Speech and Language Therapy and I hope to buy your latest album soon.
Just loved the concert at An creggan on Friday night. Gentry Morris was good. But loved your performance from beginning to end. Congratulations and good luck. Kate
Hey hey Julie! Blast from Glasgow past – Karl Nyquist sent me an article about you in Irish Times – SO cool! So proud of all you have accomplished and the risks you have taken along the way….. my one famous friend.
I saw you and Brian Grace in the Roisin Dubh in Galway recently. As always, it was a fantastic gig. Gentry Morris was excellent. Looking forward to seeing you back there again
All the best… Linda x
P.S Love the new album… (‘especially elder of the tribe’)
Dear Juliet, Now back home in Bath, England, I want to thank you for a brilliant concert last Friday at Creggan. You enthralled me so much you had my eyebrows dancing! There was plenty of room for that in the intimate space. I had to get my front row grandaughter back to her bed in Castlerock at the end of your show so couldn’t thank you then. I had come to Ireland listening to the new album but my continueing listening has been enriched by now knowing the biographical/autobiographical elements in your songwriting.
I too have a tale about that flag!
Dear Juliet,
How fortunate I was such a poor Biology teacher, otherwise the world would have missed out on your terrific music! I will buy your new CD from the shop (honest!!) since
a). We could only rustle up ¬£5 between us for Gentry’s CD
b). There was a massive queue
Very well done! We continue to follow your career with interest. I am going to stop now before this starts to sound like a report, albeit a brilliant one!
Best wishes
Stephen (and Patricia) Hey
Just want to say hello and a big congrats on how well you seem to be doing lately. We love you Julie!!! As much as a Marks and Spencers cookie….you have our hearts it’s true!! The very best of luck with the gigs this summer, we’re thrilled for you.

Hi Juliet,
Went to see you in the An Creggan Centre last night (Friday). Tell Gentry I like his fashionable outfit (hat, waistcoat wild west look). He’s a very relaxed gentleman and very witty, especially when he forgot his own lines! You always do a good show and last night was as expected, brilliant, great seeing you again. My favourite album is Let’s hear it for pizza. The Creggan Centre is a lovely intimate venue but as someone said the seating arrangements could do with a little work, I spent a good bit of the night stretching to see you rather than the back of someone’s head ha ha! When I did get a good view I enjoyed myself much better! Goodluck with the tour girl!
An Creggan Centre, at the foot of the Sperrins, midway between Cookstown and Omagh.
Pluses –
Such an intimate gig, about 80 people on 5 rows of chairs in a small room.

Juliet
Conor Brady – I know the name – great guitarist
People Have Names – Juliet played the whole album interspersed with songs from the near and distant (to her – distant to me is much longer ago), and though I had heard some of them before this was every track, very impressed
Minuses – (sorry Juliet but whilst my honesty loses me false friends my true friends respect it)
All seating on same level, I was in the back row, and whilst I am over 6 foot tall could only see the top of Juliet’s head.
No Brian Grace – missed his style of guitar playing and Conor didn’t harmonise with you whilst Brian does.
And that’s all I have to gripe about
Juliet, you have an ineffable quality in your music (voice/lyrcs and music) which is truly magical. Thank you for sharing it with us. I drove home through your home town of Dromore last night enroute to Enniskillen on such a high, and played your songs full blast!
Hope the rest of the tour is as good as last night.
Hi Juliet,thought the gig in an creggan centre was amazing.Been listening to your albums for quite a while now but always wanted to hear you live.Now that I have,blown away,I was hooked from the first line,couldnt believe when it was over,the time flew.Cant wait to see you live again.The new album is fantastic.Gentry was also amazing,a totally hidden talent,he will be very big.
Hey Juliet,
I have been listening to the new arrival. Whilst enjoying it, I am still trying to put the pieces together in an attempt to see the big puzzle of the thoughts and experiences that might have informed your lyrics and music in People Have Names.
I and my friends, whom I have converted to your music over the years, would love to hear the little stories that you are known to share about your songs during your gigs. They are revealing, humorous and you!
Thus, we would like you to consider coming over to the quaint city of Canterbury and tell us your tales and bewilder us with your music!
There is a lovely small venue, called The Orange Street, which we think might be a special enough venue for the kind of gigs you do (see contact address for the venue below)
May you be content and happy.

My brother, my dear friend, died almost two years ago. I listen to “Broken Things” almost every day. It just helps, that’s all I can say, and I thank you.
Hey there, I see you will be braving it and heading to Aughrim, Co. Wicklow next weekend. I am going to phone them up and book some tickets (it’s the mammy’s birthday). I saw you last at the Mermaid in Bray and it was a great gig. I have one request for the 28th of June….please please can you play Vampire at some stage in the evening? It’s one of my favourite songs ever (I still request it on eastcoast fm regularly) and you would make my evening if you sang it!
Looking forward to the gig and of course a plate of bacon and cabbage in the bar before hand! LOL
Good luck with the other venues on the tour. I don’t know how you do it all and still keep your sense of humour!
Hey Julie
Saw you in the Roisin Dubh on Sunday night. As always it was a fantastic show from start to finish!! It was a complete pleasure to sit and listen to yourself and Gentry for the evening!! The best of luck with the rest of the tour!!
it’s great to hear your new album. I’ve looked forward to it for a while now and hope to have a hard copy soon, failing that, by download. How are you? I heard a song from your latest album on the Iain Anderson Show on BBC Radio Scotland there tonight(just into 13th June), so the power of radio lives on!
I am fascinated to see you’ve furthered your studies with a course in Speech Therapy. Last time you were in Comrie, you’d hurt your voice but you still had a go anyway.(Mushroom Farmer?) I tried to sing up but it’s always the case that the words run away from me as you got to them. Ah, it was just great having you and Mary Lee Cortes here. Let us know if you’re going to make it back to Scotland again sometime; there’s a new sound-proofed ceiling in the big hall in the Community Hall here in Comrie, so it doesn’t sound like a cave; and there’s a brand new Concert hall at Perth(The Horse-Cross). Life exists north of G’gow/E’burg!
No easy subject is speech though as there’s so many differences from person to person. I have had to cope with my speech going wrong(wong!) and I’ve fought my way back to what tricks, adaptions and alternatives for sounds and words I can’t say, to having some sort of feasable speech. U, L and R are still problematic, R is quite impossible and the right side of my mouth and tongue doesn’t respond properly(like the rest of my right side). Then there’s the 3 1/2 and 4 syllable words….. The weird thing is, like a person who stutters only, I too can sing in excellent diction and speak other languages! English IS my speech impediment! ) No great change there then…ok ok, enough of that )
(An aside I’ve found there is that if I trounce off into a stanza of (self-taught) Gaelic or what little French I’ve learned, it is getting harder to return to clearish English….hmmm, now I know why the SALT team I had, said “no” to me learning other languages.
Singing is the greatest therapy, used so much in CBT in stroke and other palsies, I hear, to great success with some. Difficult speech can mean interupted breathing rythmes and singing can help there with some people. Confidence too.
My wee girl has speech difficulties too, from different reasons, but has the same problems with R sounds too. I know some of her frustrations. ( My wee lass copes with it better as she’s grown from young with it and is usually very bubbly anyway, as is ever the case.
A friend of mine studied Linguistics and Therapy before going to Australia.. She’s set up her own Consultancy via this web-site. http://www.linguistlearning.com and has written a book(if memory serves?)
One other aside though. Great to see you’ve released Tuesday Night Ladies!!
Sorry, I’ve gone on a bit so edit as reqd. I do this to my GP too, but it’s probably the same with most GPs patients.
Anyway, all the best with the course, enjoy the “Clear L”, roll those Rs and all success with the new “People Have Names” album Juliet,
I’ve only just discovered Juliet’s music and it’s great.
I’m in Ireland for a flying visit on the weekend of the 22nd and thought I might be able to see Juliet perform, I’m staying in Limavady, N. Ireland. Juliets in Cookstown on the night I arrive (20th – 33 miles) and Derry the night I leave (22nd – 22 miles). So where is she on Saturday 21st? The far side of Galway – 206 miles – obviously a girl who doesn’t mind travelling – or needs a new GPS when planning her tour.
I saw you at a greenbelt festival way back in 199x, and you knocked my socks off. Over the years I’ve heard the odd track on Wogan, brought the albums and “vampire” has become mine and Candice’s ‘our song’. Everyone laughs when we tell them this (it’s going to be the first dance at our wedding in two weeks), so whats the story behind it, and are there any tour dates coming up in England so Candice can get to see you live at last? best wishes…
Hi Juliet!
You were fabulous (as always) last night in Flowerfield Art Centre! my granny and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was lovely meeting you again! We have listened to your new album already and hink that it is really, really good! I also love your new haircut!!!! Please do let me know when you are back at the North Coast soon!!!! Good luck with all your work and keep up the good work!!
Say thank you also to brian Grace who was fab too!
Love from, Diana xoxoxoxox
After hoping to go to your show some time ago and sadly bottling out, I finally made it to Portstewart last night. It was a wonderful show. I really enjoyed all the songs from Anthony’s starting set all the way through to the end. Sorry I didn’t sing along too much but that’s not a bad thing. Your new album sounds very strong and has a beautiful tone. Thank you for creating it and the very best of luck with it’s success.

Juliet – any chance of you playing Greenbelt this year? Would be great to see you there again.
Hi Juliet, your link for the an-creagan centre doesn’t work (because it is spelled wrong!).
I’m still a moderator on your Yahoo fan group, and by the quinky dinks of life happen to have had a speech impediment for the (nearing a half century) majority of my life.
Intrigued by the new album.
Will the tour feature a full band or the acoustic Juliet (duo or trio) which I prefer???
Hi Juliet , my Dad let me use his computer to say that at the age of 10 I really enjoyed my first gig at the Clotsworthy . Thank you for signing my album again and my wee brother Harry enjoyed listening to it as well .
I was at your concert on Friday night at Clotworthy in Antrim. It’s the first time I’ve seen/heard you in concert and you totally blew my mind away. I’ve been listening to your new album all weekend and am still singing the tunes at work today. I loved the way you took time before each song to tell us your thoughts when writing it (and boy, are you a deep thinker!). Most artists don’t sound half as good in concert but you were fantastic!! And you kept referring to the concert as a ‘gig’ so I was tickled pink that I must still be young and trendy to have been to a gig!!
My wife and I had the pleasure being at your gig in the arts centre Downpatrick.10/5/2008 thank you and your team as artist for sharing your talents with us.
Van Morrison was on BBC 4 last night and Paul Moore was playing bass! That was such a good band when you did your live album,shame you didn’t tour together.
Hi Juliet, I see a request for you to visit Shetland, well we are here in Orkney and we have many music festivals and events, traditional and contemporary music from all over the world, I will keep pushing your name with the various committees! See the Orkney website http://www.visitorkney.com to see how lovely it is here. Love your music especially fond of “burn your black suit”
I was watching an American film called ‘The Nines’ recently and almost yelped when I heard the strains of your version of ‘Sugartown’ in the background during a scene (I get overly-excited by such things). Whoever put the soundtrack together had excellent taste because Pink Martini also featured – it’s the first time I’ve heard either of you featured on a film and the latter was interesting in itself, too. I hope it brings you new fans. Looking forward to the new album and the upcoming tour (don’t forget to stop over in Cork!), and best of luck with any upcoming exams.
Hope the college course is going ok. Just wondered if you have ever been to shetland, its a great place and would be great to have you come play here, My fiance introduced me to your music and now when I hear it I think of him. We are getting married next year and are hoping we can get a band that can try and cover a few of your songs, but hey if your free you could always come over and do it!!
Take care
There I was, reading ‘Murphy’s Revenge’, by Colin Bateman, and on Page 39 I came across the following paragraph:
‘When he was cleaned up and dressed he walked back into the lounge, took off the Springsteen and replaced it with an album by Juliet Turner. She was from his neck of the woods, and sounded like it. No mid-Atlantic accent for her. There was something very soothing about her voice, like she’d been badly hurt by someone but had crawled her way back to life and was happy now, but couldn’t help looking back. Whatever. It worked for him.’
Later in the book he puts the album on in his car.
I have been listening to some of your music recently in and enjoyed it very much, I especially love the song I hope that I don’t fall in Love with you which you sing with Brian Kennedy, I have certainly fallen in love with this song. I hope you come to Glasgow soon as it would be great to see you in person. Your music is a true delight
Hi Juliet, found the site address on your c.d have bn a fan since I was much younger and seen you perform ‘burn the black suit’ on some programme on telly, was instantly impressed and remember my dad and I singing the chorus, as a greeting round the house for the entire following week! I’m not usually the type of girl who writes fan mail, and I hope thats not what this sounds like. Fan mail is for boy bands with ripping abs or sent by crazy stalker men who want to marry you. This is just a letter to from a girl with big dreams to another girl with extraordinary talents, who’s made some of hers come true. You endeared yourself to me immediately because you were Irish, gutsy, upbeat, amazingly talented and cheeky to boot. There was a certain glint in your eye that suggested you knew something the rest of the world hadn’t caught on to yet, and I was extemely jealous that’d you’d mastered what I wished I could do. Music speaks to me but I can’t speak through it (yet!! I play my guitar and I try very hard!) . Your songs make such incredible sense to me. I’ve just turned 18 and there’s something so refreshing in the honesty of your music. My friends and I have lost a lot of friends lately, some through suicide. Music’s always had the ability to alter my mood, change my perceptions and teach me how to react. We found lots of songs that tried to express how you feel when you lose someone, some became the soundtrack to the horrible confusion and offered tiny consulation. Too many friends left too early in such a short space of time that it seemed ‘everything beautiful was burning’ and ‘everyone close to us was leaving’. I dont know if I’ve interpreted the song how you meant it. But the suggestion that when we’re missing someone we’ve loved and lost, they haven’t forgot us and ‘drink a toast to our recovery’ helps… and makes me less guilty about turning to the ‘sunlight baby’. It’s not a weepy song, not weak and helpless, its strong and uplifting and hopeful, acknowledges the pain but encourages the healing. Your music reflects life, proud beating rythms that don’t apologise for the vulnerabiltiy of lust or the inexplicability of emotion. I connect because your brave enough to allow me know what your feeling.
My leaving cert Music practical is coming up in the next few weeks, I’d really love to try do some justice to ‘everything beautiful…’ for the exam but I can’t find accurate guitar chords to help anywhere! I’ve made an attempt to make them out myself but I cant get it just right! I’d really appreciate any help!!
Thanks so much for your music and your time reading this, (and believe the begining wasn’t just a butter- up, as i realise now it might have sounded!!)
Love
Laura English, Tipperary, Ireland
Hope your course is going well and the album is coming together for you. Im just wondering if you are playing the Roisin Dubh on 15th June? Its on their site but not on yours?
Here’s to the new Album!
SNOW
Woke up to the snow fall
Curly soft petols, white
They were falling inaudibly
They had once resisted gravity
And were now falling gracefully.
Went out and the damp drops of snow
Prickling the back of our necks
Soon this duvet of whit e covered us
Soon this intimacy allowed us
To smell this scented snow
The scent of travelled distance.

I bought your first album the year it came out and only really listened to ‘Take the Money and Run.’ I think this was due to the fact that Terry Wogan had played it constantly on BBC Radio 2. Anyway I, for some reason, pulled it out at the weekend, put it on my Ipod and went for a walk. I played it through and realised that every song on it is great. So, basically, I’m saying sorry for it taking so long for it to grow on me but I’m playing it constantly now! P.S. I’m from Northern Ireland but currently living in England and have turned quite a few people over here on to your stuff. Take Care, Ed
Are you fundamentally sure you will never buy another one of my albums? Couldn’t I tempt you by telling you the new album (out in June) is very, very good? If you play the fifth track backwards, you will hear me singing backwards in gibberish. I’m sure it would save your soul. Why don’t you buy it secretly? No one would ever know…
I went to see her a few years back in the Cork Opera House and was one of the best concerts I have seen in my life, but I just found her name on Christian Artists website I can assure her that the album I did purchase will be the last I will purchase of her also.
Hi was just wondering if you had any plans to return to Lisburn anytime soon. I never made it to see you last time but i will be there for sure the next time
Hi Juliet, still listening to all your cds. will have to get to see you in concert sometime soon, your music still used to heal my head. you know what i mean.x nearly 10 years on.
Hi, Id say its Pizza and Wine ur on about – its on the first Cd I got by Juliet – Lets Hear it for pizza. Hope you get a copy cos its really nice and stripped back so you can hear the great vocals Juliet has. xx Johnny
Hi i was at your recent gig in Omagh with brain houston. after we stamped our feet for a recall, you came back on stage and someone requested a song. it made me cry, it touched a familar place and i would love to know what it is called, and the album it is on. it was about wanting to tell someone that you loved them and the line that stood out most was about pizza and wine. i know i prob have it, but i cant seem to find it. i would appreciate your help in my treasure hunt.
Hi~
I found your hompage namend in my English Textbook. xD (ok, not your homepage, but it was a homepage made by a fan. And when I searched after this I found your page ^^)
Curious as I am, I looked after your page and heard to the song. And I really like it! You have such a nice voice
hi juliet,
would you mind telling me who did the artwork/graphic design for your album cover ‘season of the hurricaine’…it was a really cool mix of photography, graphics and trickery!
at the moment, im trying to cobble together ideas for my own album cover, and we’re leaning towards this kind of approach…any info would be much appreciated.
cheers!
philip john.
Nice to see you back at the black box last night. Thanks for taking time out for a wee yarn and asking for advice on future concerts yes bring the organ back.
My sister and I saw you at your Armagh gig on the 29th December 07 – it seemed like an effortlessly brilliant and friendly performance. It was also great to hear the ideas and inspirations for your songs. Thanks for a great night…and for signing our CDs!
Hi Juliet
Long time no see – too long! Do you remember I had an idea for an album. If you email me I can send you some more details and ideas. I’dlove to come over to Ireland to see you in concert sometime.
Hope to hear from you – happy new year to you and Brian
Andy Lock
As a moderator of your ‘unofficial’ fan site on Yahoo I would have so liked to say hello after the brilliant gig in Omagh last night.
Firstly Brian Houston was great, an impish, puckish, punkish, very talented guy.
But then you came on, and reminded me why I had come to see you, so nice to hear all your new songs and to hear Brian Grace again. You just entranced, enchanted and enraptured me during the whole performance and I think I left a little bit of my heart there! You are a very special person Juliet, thank you for making my Christmas complete. Can’t wait for the next album or the next time you play near Enniskillen.
Just a quick few words to say “thank you” for a great night out in Lisburn. I hadn’t seen you live since The Spirit Store gigs and came away feeling restored and refreshed. Hope that sore throat clears up soon.
Juliet – Saw you in Lisburn last night. Sometimes I thought there were so many mournful songs in a row that it got a little dark. I’d have liked a few more upbeat numbers in the set. Don’t get me wrong, I had a very enjoyable evening and I’m still lovin your work – Thanks.
hi juliet
just returned home after your Gig in Lisburn.
Captivating!!!, a truly intimate, warm and thoroughly superb evening.
What a talant.
Cant t wait to recommend you Gigs.
Good luck for the future Juliet.
ken and friends
Hi Juliet…i am going to see you play for the first time tonight!…..i am a friend of the legendary Brian Grace and he is personally taking me to see you guys tonight…how lucky am i??…i love your record “Season of the Hurricane” especially the song “no good in this goodbye”…great words…touched me…and “take the money…” is fun!……thank you…hope u have a great gig!…jimmy coup
We have 3 tickets in Row D for Juliet’s concert in Armagh on the 29th December; unfortunately we are flying home on that evening now so can no longer go. If anyone is interested, please email donal.murray@hotmail.co.uk with an offer (the tickets were ¬£15 each originally). The tickets are transferrable (but non-refundable; we have the confirmation email which is all that is needed. Thanks.
hi juliet
i have been listening to your music for a few years now. i have it on my mp3 and my pc. i really enjoy your music. keep it up and good luck with the studying.

How you doing? Long time no see…. love reading all about you on your website. Dont have an address for you but I wanted to wish you a very Happy Christmas and New Year. Dont’ forget to call if you passing through Navan… we’d love to see you. Take care. Lorraine & Martin
Hello Juliet,any chance you could look at a song for me and may,be sing it if ya like it.I am a Belfast boy living in switzerland and need someone to make this song known.It is called Primitive Belle.
Have you an agent i can send it too.
Hi Juliet, It has been a few weeks but I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at Windsor Tennis Club in aid of Beyond the Shadows. Sexual exploitation of children in NI is such a hidden problem and people are either ignorant of it or choose not to open their eyes and ears to it. I was grateful to have the opportunity to speak on behalf of the young people to those at the tennis club and sincerely hope that it will have sown a seed. Many thanks and Happy Christmas. Jacqui
Hi Juliet, I’m totally freaked out that i missed the gig in Whelans. I’d been looking forward to it for months and then ……total brain freeze. Probably serves me right though I was dying to have a look at Brian and find out is he the same Brian that i was mad about in his glam rock days? First saw them in Galway 6 years ago this Christmas and then Marley Park Hotel or have a got the wrong Brian Grace?
Hi Juliet,
When oh when oh when are you going to come back to the north east of england and give us geordie fans another sparkling concert? It’s been far too long. All the C.d.’s are worn out too…..another album please would also be nice. Cannot wait to see you live again you are a musical genius (and there ain’t a lot of them around these days) a poet for the angels, a cracking axe player, and a beautiful personallity too. Pleeeeeeasssssse don’t leave it too long to return. Your number one geordie fan, Trev ( of ‘Few Broth’ fame….keep viewing the website)
Hey Juliet,
It’s been a long time since we met, and don’t worry i don’t expect you to remember me! I was only a little ginger boy at the time and you played in the Mallow Park Hotel (aka the Central), Mallow, Co.Cork. This was more than a few years ago(!) but and i seen you live since, but i just want to say thank you! Thank you for your music, your voice, for sharing your gift with everyone. You’re performing as i’m typing this in UCC tonight. I’m only a few mins away back in my apartment ‘studying’ for my first year college exams, wishing i was singing along with you! (I’m listening to you on my stereo as i’m writing to this). Well i hope i haven’t sounded like a mad man! Just thought i’d get in touch, keep the music coming!
Paul H (18, Cork)
Juliet, good to read the report on the slavery conference. You’d appreciate reading “A Hero for Humanity” about William Wilbeforce, an exceptional man.
Hope you’re still singing and writing – you’re still the one.
whenever i lisning to your cd in the car it gives me a deep great smile in my heard, because your cd ( Burn The Black Suit ) was one of the first present my gf gave me for 3 years in december and we absulutly love since then . We do enjoy your music much.
I think we need to hear you live again in London hope to see you on the road next year soon.
thanks for the gig, whealans, wexford st. dublin, 29th nov. im at home now, listening to season of the hurricane. vampire. my favourite. gave the taxi driver a present of your single, he gave me 2.50 off the fare. it as all good. i’ve gotta get into your new stuff. really got into the last album. think you’re our joni mitchell, if you wanna be. anyway, for sure you notherners have alot of depth, and you all are so articulate.
Hi Juliet
I really enoyed your interviewon RTE the other day. What a wonderful voice and song, and more unusual, to come across as a such wonderfully balanced insightful human being. Congrats on the brave return to study, speech and language therapy is a fabulous profession, my son is reaping great rewards from the work that has been done with him.
More to the point, I heard your ‘Elder of the Tribe’ song and would love to use it for the end credits of a small documentary that I am making about an amazing 76 year old man in my community. I know that ‘imro’ is the organization that I contact, but I am not some huge production company, ( mother of 3 small kids making this on a wing and a prayer) so I was wondering if these rights would be hugely out of my league? This project is a labour of love that is taking forever but this guy is unbelievable and your song would just be the perfect piece to complete the story. Would appreciate some feedback or information please thank you.
Hi Juiet, Heard you on monday morning on radio one in interview. Enjoyed it.That second song you done was so beauitful. Some of the lyrics in it was take care of your lovely young life If I remember right (sorry if I have it wrong)
First heard you way back when you did suport for the fabulous Brian Kennedy & have your album cd. Your voice is so sweet & lovely.
Best of luck with the studying but keep on singing & writing too if you have time.
So I’ve bcome a poet have I. What an honour! Windsor Tennis Club is just next door. Please put on your rider that you need the windows open during the gig!
Hiya Juliet, having just recently discovered Duke Special and become a huge fan of his (oh been listening to you for years by the way), I read somewhere you’d played with him – now that I would have given my right arm, leg or tes…, er ok you get the drift! And songs of yours or his that include the words like “pain” and “face” tickle me because I can do my N Irish accent when singing along! Am visiting the family in Bangor at Xmas so hows about a last minute gig eh? eh?
My girlfriend and I absolutely love your music and have all your albums. We were gutted when we missed you in Glasgow a couple of years ago and would really love to see you live.
Have you any plans to come back to land of Haggis and Whiskey? Keep writing and singing those beautiful songs, you have a real talent.
Good to know that you are enjoying studying 2nd time round – I reckon everyone should be allowed to go to Uni once they’ve grown up, I’m sure the world would be a better place for that.
Looking forward to the new album whenever you do release it, it would be great to see you back in England though.
Hope the resit went OK.
It was a great treat for me to personaly meet you in one of,L’ARCHE houses. As i will not be at my house,the weekend I will do my best and try to go to your concert in Whelans[Dublin]29/11/07.
I just whant to let you know that you have fan`s in Sweden to ! (At least one, but I`m shore there is moe !) Everyteme I come back to Ireland I look for your latest CD and of course I`l get it ! I have at least three of them . Can somebody let me know if there is some moore ! It was an old friend in Dublin who “intrdused” me to “you” and your music . I`m verry gratefull to here ! Is there any chance you ever comming over to Sweden ? I think you are great ! Good luck with everything and take care ! All the best from Cissi in Katrineholm! PS. my favorites in N.Ireland and Ireland is you and Don Baker !DS.
Sounds like you are having a great time being a student second time around. Your report of the Slavery Conference was fascinating and thanks for giving people information about trafficking and the Truth Isn’t Sexy campaign.
Hope you will find time to come over to London soon – the last time I heard you was at the Half-Moon in Putney
I appear to be the first to sign. You seem to be juggling a lot of balls recently. Good luck with the college course, but please don’t stop writing and singing. I would miss your “one every four years” studio albums and I think you are a truly intriguing writer and engaging performer. Best of wishes to you.

I have to say your music and your voice excites a “wee” bit! I’m waiting for the next time you come back to Ballinamore… Could be a while given we lost the “Moo” wine bar to the recession! Keep trucking Juliet!

Hi Juliet, I am an Irish guy living in Adelaide, Australia and this morning I put on Burn the Black suit for the first time in a long time, full blast on my new system. My wife and I still love it. It is my favorite song ever and it was emotional….. Brought back lots of memories of Ireland and going to see you in Dublin 10 years ago….. Thanks for the memories. Keep on singing!!!!
July 19th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Hi Juliet, My name is Deirdre and I’ve loved you ever since first being introduced to “Burn the Black Suit” years ago. I am particularly in love with Belfast Central and I was wondering if I could have your permission to put it on my demo? I have a version recorded but I didn’t put it up online as I don’t own the rites to it. Its quite a simple interpretation really, just me singing and playing piano, If I forwarded the recording of it to you and you liked it, would it be ok to put it on my myspace page? Sincere condolences on the loss of your friend xx
July 16th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Hi Juliet,
I have been to many of your shows, and I would just like to pass on our condolences to you on the death of Derek Nally. I know he’s been with you from the start and helped get your career started.. Thinking of you during this hard time and we’ll meet up again when your next in Portlaoise,
Angela Lynch

Juliet,
After attending Brian Kennedy’s concert in Belfast 17/06/10 i was blown away by your voice………… you are amazing singer and songwriter. Hope to see you in concert in the near future.
June 19th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Thought your set in Belfast on thursday night was great. The lyrics of your songs seem to tell a story that we all can relate to. Are you not on Twitter yet? It’s a great way for fans to follow you
thanks for the beautiful music Juliet xx
June 18th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your set at the Brian Kennedy gig in Belfast last night. I really enjoyed your performance and also the 2 songs in Brian’s set. I didn’t have enough cash to buy your latest CD last night, but have just ordered it on amazon! I liked how you explained the background to some of the songs you sang last night. There are a few songs on Season of the Hurricane that I’d be interested to hear the background of one day! All the best xx
April 19th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
Hi Juliet, coming from Canada for a visit to Ireland and would love to catch one of your shows. Any chance you have more dates coming for June? North or South? Love your music. Thanks in advance. Mark.
February 10th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Hiya Juliet!
I went to see you in the Ardhowen Theatre in Enniskillen, Fermanagh a few years ago and got a picture take with you when you were promoting your album ‘Lets all shout for Pizza!’
I live in Enniskillen and Enniskillen feis is coming up soon. I was hoping to do one of your songs; ‘Belfast Central’, but i can’t find the sheet music for it anywhere. Do you know where I could get it please?
Love your work, hopefully hear from you soon, Lisa
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Hi Juliet,
My ten year old daughter sings ” People have names..” great song – can I get the chords. I play bad guitar but it would be good to play with her..Thanks Jimmy & Ailish
January 24th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Juliet, any word of you coming back to the Manchester area sometime soon? We need another gig!
January 9th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
Sometimes a personal disappointment can put poetry into one’s little head:
‘I will sit down and be amazed at you!
I will write
till my pen dries out:
Greetings that will hail your victories and defeats, alike.
Words that will engrave themselves into deep memory.
Thoughts that will convey my confusion and clarity.
Touches, some of which you will feel, others you won’t notice.
Letters, written but unsent.
Under the light of the calm moon and the furious sun,
I will resist like a weed cracking open concrete.
An accomplice to the edge of absurdity,
A rebel executing revolts.
And after all these words, thoughts and creatures have found
freedom from me, I will sit down and be amazed at you.
You, my quick judge of me.’

Just been reading through the other guestbook entrys and nobody mentions how beautiful and sexy Juliet is! Us men are just too politically correct or shy! ( or have dreams of vampires!!?!)
Juliet you are a stunningly beautiful,sexy woman! ( I know that’s not the main thing but its true and its gotta be said somewhere here)
January 7th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
I went to see JT in concert last year in Ballymena on my brother’s recommendation and have been a fan ever since!I recently went to the gig in Belfast and it was brilliant! class! JTS songs are soo good and the introductions between songs were sometimes funny, sometimes touching but always beautiful,down to earth and meaningful with her,very own,and very special sense of humour.Belfast central at the end blew me away!
( I’m dead chuffed to have Juliets autograph on the JT live cd I bought that night).Thanks Juliet for saying hello to your fans at the end!
January 3rd, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Hi There,
I have just got online after the gig in the naul last night….had your live album and loved it but not any other music.. a friend asked me to go to the gig…it blew me away…what a beatiful venue which was the perfect setting for such beautiful music…vampires, tuesday night ladies and everything beautiful is burning blew me away…looking forward to catching up on more of your albums…hope to see you live again soon…Paraic….ps the chat between songs was great i wish more performers would do this
January 2nd, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Hi Juliet,
just been to your gig in The Black Box, Belfast (remember I was the guy who told you you’d replaced Nigella as my perfect woman?! lol). I was blown away (do people still say ‘blown away’?!), by your music and beautifully understated performance..I’m a recent convert but now a devoted one, Hope you’re back in Belfast soon, have a great new year xxx
November 25th, 2009 at 4:43 am
Hi Juliet, We have just watched the movie Omagh and your singing of “Broken Things” has really touched my heart. I must buy a copy of a CD with this song .
Please can you tell me which CD to buy as all the ones I have viewed on the net donot appear to include this title.
Keep singing. Your voice is an inspiration and believe it or not we are really classical music fans and in our 70′s
Best regards,
Veronica.

Hi Juliet
Hope you are feeling better, sorry to hear you’ve been ill. I saw you last year in the Empire and loved your work, really looking forward to the xmas show in the black box.
I was wondering if you had a support act arranged for the black box gig? I’m helping some friends to get some gigs to play thier new material which I think might appeal some of your fans, and hopefully you also? The go by the name Bruce Joseph and include guitar, cello and accordian. Here’s a wee link to their recent live video. Let me know what you think, or if you could maybe let me know what promoter to get in touch with in relation to the gig that’d be great as they’d love to support you.

Hi Juliet,
I came across “Joy” on the radio today and I really loved it so I decided to download a few more this evening!
I read that you’re doing speech and language therapy in TCD. Wow! I qualified from the course not too long after you joined. I hope that your final year goes well and that everyone’s keeping calm. I hope that you make the most out of college. The job is excellent and I really enjoy it despite having found the course difficult. Don’t listen to the “C” woman!
November 11th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Hi Juliet
Just wanted to say “hi”. Really hope to catch you in concert soon. You coming to Belfast any time soon?

I thought I had all Juliet’s recording but just heard Juliet’s “A Winter’s Tale”. Where was it all this time? Wonderful recording. Thanks!
September 26th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Throughly enjoyed the gig at The Cellars, Southsea, it was a small crowd but a big atmosphere. It was so good to hear and to meet Juliet in person, she is such a warm person and really pleasant to speak to. Of course her performance was great, that goes without saying. I will do my best to contact Hugh as soon as possible.
All the best.
September 24th, 2009 at 10:31 am
I cut short my attendance at a conference in Copenhagen yesterday to make sure I got back for the gig in Brighton last night and I am so glad I did. The format was great, three very good singer/songwriters performing their own material and supporting on others. There was a good crowd but still nice and intimate. I bought a couple of the CD’s available and listened to Ashes and Gold as I drove home. I would like to thank all three of you for a very enjoyable evening. Yvonne – I really like the CD. Gentry – good luck with the new album. Juliet – you’re just fabulous and I have washed & scrubbed my favourite King Edward for you.
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Hiya,
Just read through some of your fans’ comments. You might as well plan and prepare for a South American Tour, as you are not only popular in Brazil but also in Chile! I have introduced your music to some of my friends and colleagues in Santiago and they loved what they heard. If you ever seriously consider performing there, especially in Chile, let me know, as I might know people who could help your manager set up the logistics. I am there with work next June or July.
Hope to see you tomorrow, if I can get away from uni. Auch, the joys of teaching!

Hi Juliet – your phone doesn’t seem to be working in ther UK. If you get this in time, do you want some photos of the three of you at Swindon (I’m coming anyway)?
September 14th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Hi Juliet, and Yvonne and Gentry
Thanks for this evenings intimate little performance in Aberdeen – the rest of the city will be so miffed they missed it!!
Keep on making me smile and laugh (and occasionally cry) hopefully see you all back here with that promised turkey
Cheers

Hi Juliet.
Thanks for a great gig in York 11/9 – the first time I have seen you play live and it was good to meet you. I was introduced to your music a couple of years ago by Mick from Newtownards (I think you will remember from the gig) and since then I have been a fan. Your lyrics are intriguing, the music is unusual, varied, great to listen to (good to hear the ‘Norn Iron’) and I really enjoy playing it (amateur only, I should add!). I was pleased that you explained the origin of “Tuesday Night Ladies” – I had been wondering, since I bought the cd, who these people were. I looked up “Dean and Deluca” on the internet (Yes – sad isn’t it!)- now I know – posh food.
Hope to hear more music from you soon – if you can fit it in whilst finishing your studies. Until then, will continue to spread the word in the North East – what was it again???? …………… Enjoy the tunes and……….Ah yes – buy cds!
P.S. On the subject of cds, I should have bought Gentry’s on the night – have looked for it since but no luck.
September 12th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Hi Juliet and a great big thanks for last night’s performance at The Duchess in York. I came over to Belfast to see you last at the Black Box and didn’t think the performance could be surpassed. Last night I had just arrived from Portugal to see you and would have travelled ten times further for such a show. All three of you were individually and together absolutely briliant. That Gentry will go far – sounds like the very early Jackson Browne. BUT the highlight was your performance of Belfast Central – cynical old me had to brush away a tear or two.
Love Patrick
ps My Irish accent isn’t that bad !
September 12th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Wonderful meeting you, Yvonne and Gentry before Friday’s gig at the Duchess in York ( not to mention PR guru Dave !!). Really enjoyed the banter, the gig format and of course the songs. Every success for the remainder of the tour and pass our way again soon …..please!
September 8th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Hi Juliet, we are looking forward to seeing you as always. It will be great to hear another new singer, as well as you and Gentry. We love to make the trip to your gigs in the UK and Ireland but this time it is 15 miles from home in Norwich, which is good. See you there!
September 6th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Hi Juliet. I intend to catch you at the Cabbage Patch Pub in a couple of weeks. I’ll be the one with the guide dog, so please do say hello if you catch sight. Loving the new album and recognised Gardner Street choir straight away on “People Have Names”. Off to buy the 2004 album now as I’m a bit out of touch.
Thanks for the lovely music which reminds me why I love being Irish.

Hello, Juliet.
I am a 13 year old fan of yours. My mum and dad have been listening to you for years and seen you live lots of times. Infact, my dad is in Omagh at the moment managing the gold mine there! We are all coming to see you in Baisingstoke on 26th September because my cousin lives down there and we think needs introducing to your music! I would really like to know how to get hold of guitar chords for your songs as I’m teaching myself and love your music, especially Business as Usual.
See you on 26th!

August 17th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Hey there, I saw your performance at the Food and Music Fest in Belfast a while ago and thought you were magnificent. I went out and bought ‘People Have Names’ the day after and haven’t stopped listening to it yet. It’s absolutely wonderful, and your live performance was stunning as well. Keep it up!
August 8th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Great set today in Botanic! Thanks Juliet.
August 5th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
well that was just lovely- good to hear that rather fetching voice of yours again in caberet voltaire tonight, and those other lads sang beautifully too, enjoy the rest of your tour!
July 31st, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Confused? Me? Well, yes… who is playing with you in Edinburgh this week? Yvonne Lyon and Gentry Morris? Yvonne Lyon and Ryan Donn? Parsley the Lion and Donn Morris? Various sources, various stated combinations. Clarity please?
And thank you….
July 30th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Just a Fan. Love your everything

Heyhooo, here’s some more poems to share. Smiles to ya!
‘Kisses from Argentina’
Waiting for the words
A space within spaces
colours and melodies
nostaligic formalities
irregualrities of blue tiles
allowing for unspoken intimacies.
Brief, brave encounters
A cheek touches a cheek
A mache of soft black wires
resists a net of wooley wires.
But stubbles bend and bow
in exchange of a farewell vow
Light tangible intimacy
arrives.

Hi Juliet, I was overjoyed when I saw you were coming over to play this summer only to find you have bypassed the North East again! I am distraught. The nearest you come to Newcastle is YORK which is miles away. Any chance you can fit one in nearer us. The Sage or the Customs house perhaps? I’m so pleased you are touring with Gentry & Yvonne, both cracking performers. Loved them both when we saw you in Barrels at Berwick last time. Please, please, please try and do a North East concert. Your most loyal fan. Trev.
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Hi Juliet,
I’ve been a fan now since my school days, well over a decade now. So excited that you are coming to Edinburgh as I haven’t been able to catch you home in Ireland for so long. Your music has a huge place in my heart and (yes this is very corny), in that of my fiancees as we hope to have “Pizza and Wine” as the first song at our wedding. We cannot wait to see you in Cabaret Voltaire, I’m sure it’ll be another magical gig. Thank you Juliet!
May 16th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Hi Juliet
I ‘m not used to doing this, and left this message on the Mallow Gig first..then realized that this was a better place…
We (my husband David and I) are great fans. We saw you recently in Inverness, and thought you were FAB. I was really interested to hear about your training in SALT and hope the exams are going well. I have a son with Asperger Syndrome, and have written several books about/for kids with AS published by Jessica Kingsley. One of them – called What Did You Say? What Do You Mean? – has recently been turned into a pack of cards which can be used by Speech & Language therapists and others with children on the autism spectrum to help them learn about and enjoy metaphorical language. After the Inverness we bought and you kindly signed some of your CDs. I wanted to send you a pack (signed!) of What Did You Say? metaphor cards with my love and thanks. How would I do that? All the best Jude
May 11th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Hello Juliet …. I heard the song “Broken things” from you in the english lesson we saw the movie about Omagh …. I liked your voice and i nearly cried because it was so sad in that context…. And now I took at as my solo for the music exam … but I have a problem I can’t find out which chords i have to play … i need the tabs but can’t find them … I hope you can help me … If you cant’s it’s ok too ^^ … just wanted to say that i really love that song from you
Greetings from Sarah (Denmark)

April 26th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Hi,
sorry my mistype, I want to say fan instead of fun but to be honest “I do have a lot of fun with your lovely songs and a lot of love with your funny songs (in a good way)”
April 26th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Hi Juliet,
I¬¥m a “big” fun from Brazil (6’7” tall) of you and your work, and I would say congratulations for you but I believe it would reduce what you really deserve to just a “congratulations”. And also everyone I shows your music like it. The lyrics are brilliant and the music are wonderful. Unfortunatly I¬¥m too far to follow you in your shows but I wish. All the best for you and your band. Filipe.
April 26th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Great gig, in mallow last night, have been listening to your new album all morning and looking forward to catching you again in the pavillion
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Hi Juliet
We saw you at The Met in Bury (again) and really enjoyed the evening. But you sang a song by a compatriot of yours and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. Can you help my ailing memory please??
March 26th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
CARDIFF….Will you return??
I had just found out you were going to be playing on 17th March and was set to buy tkts when we got the bombshell that The Point closed down…i love that place.
So it was a double blow, can you tell me if you are going to come back to Cardiff as you didnt arrange a different venue nd never posted anything on the news pages…
I have lived in Cardiff for 7 years now and find it hard to see some of the homegrown talent as when they do a ‘UK tour’ it rarely fetures Wales…can you pass on a full UK map to any promoiters to ensure we get to see you all when you are over.
March 25th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
I came to see you at the Stables for the second time and just find your performances spellbinding. You have one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and the Northern Irish accent is lovely in song. Please don’t stop writing and performing songs Juliet. I’m sure you will make a great speech therapist but there is no better therapy than listening to music and especially your music, so hopefully you will manage to do both. Come back to the Stables soon .
March 24th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Looks like my question has been answered in the last sentence of the March 24 tour update on the homepage .
March 23rd, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Jumping to conclusions, no doubt they’re wrong ones, as ever. But your reply to the “Will you tour again?” question at Bury on Friday – although non-commital – certainly furrowed the brow.
Flavour those thoughts with the lyrics of the Christie Hennessy song , add my observation of the apparant disappearance JT’s CDs from public view at my local HMV, throw in the Speech Therapy studies – and this JT devotee’s imagination is running riot.
Have we witnessed one of Juliet Turner’s last UK gigs?
BTW: Don’t let that empty front row at the Bury Met sway any decisions you might make. The rest of theatre was full. Telford’s Warehouse at Chester was pretty well populated too.
March 21st, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Only heard your music a few years ago when BBC Radio Manchester played Rough Lion’s Tongue on one of their late night shows. I’d never heard of Juliet Turner but the song was so good I bought the Burn The Black Suit cd and wasn’t dissapointed. I now have People Have Names and will no doubt pick up more of your back catologue as this was also excellent. We were at your Bury Met show last night and enjoyed it and would wish both you and Gentry all success in the future.
March 20th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
The Milton Keynes concert was fabulous. We listened to Juliet’s and Gentry’s CDs on the way back to Cardiff this morning. It was a great great evening. Thanks Juliet, Brian and Gentry.
March 20th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
wow – great gig at the stables last night! Thanks for doing what you do
March 20th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Excellent show at the Musician in Leicester and at the Stables in Milton Keynes. Music is getting even better and excellent support singer too. Hope you can tour again in the not too distant future

Saw you on Tuesday at Pigalle and was blown away by your set
I’ve downloaded your music from Amazon and so pleased I did.
Fantastic!!
March 16th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Hi Juliet
Wow. I was totally blown away by your gig (london). I’d never heard your stuff before, but the whole thing was beautiful. Just a great performance, one of the best gigs I have ever seen. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
March 15th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Thanks for the wonderful as always music at the
the aptly named Back Room at GJ’s. Come back soon and don’t leave it as long next time between London gigs.
March 14th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Great show in London Juliet. Loved hearing all my favourites live and the stories behind them.
Come back soon.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Thanks for coming back to The Musician in Leicester. Brought a crowd, some diehard fans, some new. We loved it all. You just get better and better. The new CD is gorgeous. Discovered Duke Special at one of your shows and now Gentry Morris! Think I have died and gone to heaven!
March 8th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Hello there.
Have no alternate venues been suggested for Cardiff? Really disappointed as was going to be treat for Wife’s birthday. ‘Belfast Central, Burn the..’ We’ll have to stick the CD on!
March 5th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
So glad Ezra and I flew over to see you in Dublin before Christmas, now that Cardiff is cancelled. Can you try and get a couple of gigs in the south west if you come over in the summer?
March 5th, 2009 at 10:09 am
No dates for Belfast on your tour
Keep up the good work xxx
February 17th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Hi
Just to say how much I enjoyed the concert in Ballymena just after Christmas.First time I’ve heard Juliets music but I’ve bought all her cd’s since! Great music, great lyrics, great show!
February 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
You are a great singer and musician. Any sign of you coming to Sligo again ? I saw you there some years ago. I went to see Nanci Griffith live in the Hawks Well theatre , last night ….she was not half as good as you ( even though she was probably double the price ! ).
January 27th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Hi Juliet
Great to see you’re coming to the Zebra Bar in Maidstone in March – I’ll be there. I’ve seen you several times at Greenbelt and always enjoyed listening to you. I’m a sucker for an Irish accent!
January 24th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Juliet,
I read that a poet said to you ‘..record your own stuff..’ maybe this is one of those urban (Dromore ! rural ! ) myths.. I thought would it be cool to come full circle back to a poet again..
I love your work and it would be fantastic to collaborate with you on a reading / recording and / or a poetry to song project. I have about 1,000 poems and yet have been content to remain invisible however this year (2009) I’ve decided I’m ready (ironically).
I am running something called des donnelly’s poetry stew in strule arts centre, Omagh – feb mar apr and I would roll out the red carpet (seriously) if you would come and read a few poems … ? (hey free pizza)
ciao

The Loft in Cambridge is a good venue of the size you are looking for but dont know whether they have any convenient dates.

Juliet DVD
Juliet, people are asking me for copies of my (net compiled) DVD. I would need your permission for that. I’m not selling the, just covering my time and costs. So, I’m asking for your permission to give copies to your fans.
Ziggy
January 17th, 2009 at 10:42 am
Juliet DVD ???????
Of course – there isn’t one. Except I have one, couldn’t wait for you to release one and couldn’t wait for the huge space between catching you live Juliet. So, I gathered all the wee live clips of you from the Internet, improved the sound, enlarged them (trying to keep the quality as much as I could) – and the result ?????
I watched it on my 32 inch TV last night, and though the quality (obviously) isn’t perfect – it is extremely watchable and listenable to. If you’re nice I’ll send you a copy Juliet.
(Maybe when your fans are making their own DVDs, this is a sign that you should contemplate doing the same??)
Ziggy
January 13th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Hi Juliet,
Are you still playing in Mallow this Sat – 17th? It’s still listed on this website but not on your facebook page and the venue says you were scheduled to play but haven’t confirmed?
Thanks, Jon

Hi Juliet,
Really enjoyed the gig in Ballymena last night. You’re a real trooper carrying on with the laryngitus.
I loved the Christie Hennesey song. Will it ever be released?
I love your version of A Winter’s Tale, which I stumbled upon, on the Amazon mp3 site.
January 3rd, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Just to remind all Juliet’s old (and new) fans that we have a Yahoo group dedicated to and by her fans where you can discuss gigs, songs, her hair styles – just about anything Juliet related. The address is http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/julietturner/
All welcome.
Cheers and a Happy New Year to you all and to Juliet.

Great to see Juliet at the Braid Arts Centre Ballymena – a visit to Co Antrim was long overdue. The lyrics are insightful and honest and each tune is preceded by a personal introduction or an amusing anecdote – think Nanci Griffith or Bruce Springsteen live but with more self deprecating humour.
And the new songs from “people have names” are some of her best works (so far).
December 31st, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Hi Juliet,
Really enjoyed you, Brian Grace and your guests, at the Empire last night. Tuesday Night Ladies is super, and you did Christy Hennessy proud with “I am a star”. Thanks, too, for chatting afterwards and for ‘introducing’ me to Kate Rusby as a result of your cover version. I really do think you should try and hook up with her, sometime. I’ll keep my promise to leave a suitable message on her site. Good luck with the rest of the tour, and with your studies, and please keep doing what you are doing.
December 28th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Really enjoyed your gig at the Ardhowen Theatre last night. What a tremendous talent you are, so full of humility and modesty. We feel so fortunate to be able to attend such a quality gig, right on our doorstep. Look forward to seeing you next time round in Enniskillen.
December 23rd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Juliet, have been listening to People Have Names for the last while – recommended to it by a friend of Keith’s (Lawless). Really enjoying it – congrats on a great songbook and great performances
December 23rd, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Hi Juliet,
I’ve just been given an early Christmas present, I’m coming to see your show in Milton Keynes next year
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and all the best for a Happy New Year. X
December 18th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Hi Juliet, The gig at McDaids Midleton on Dec.9th was up to your usual high standard. You always seem so relaxed at McDaids and this comes through in your performance. Being a Christy Hennessy fan I enjoyed your singing of “I am a star” and it was so apt just a year after his death. Looking forward to the next gig in Midleton and thanks to Tony Moore for the night.
December 11th, 2008 at 11:34 am
enjoyed seeing you at out to lunch, will miss the end of year gig but will catch up in 09. stick at the therapising and keep the footwear edwardian……….. or at least georgian.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Juliet,
Thanks for a wonderful night in McDaids in Middleton on the 9th Dec. I have seen you a few times at this stage and thought you were on top of your game last night, the best I have seen you yet. As I said after to you your own songs were brillant, but your singing of Christie Hennessy’s song “I am a Star” was sublime and very emotional. The way you introduced each song really addded to the whole occasion. Long ago after a gig in the lobby bar, I had the cheek to say to you after “stay grounded”. Well you are still totally and give of yourself at every performance I have seen. Long may you continue. Like Tom Waits all it will take to make you mega rich is Bruce or the like to cover just one song of yours, and its just waiting to happen. Thanks again, John
December 9th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Hi Juliet Turnet
love the music, would love to see you live,
p.s. just bought a copy of People Have Names, unfortunately it is faulty and I cannot return it to the shop from where it was purchased, any ideas
December 7th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Juliet
(Do you really read these things?.. Oh well, here goes…)
I had not heard of you until recently, when I came across some songs on the radio. I was knocked out by the loveliness and cleverness of your writing and singing. Are you likely to perform in my part of the world (Newcastle, England) at some point? It would be great to see your talent here. Thanks for the music. K.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Juliet,
I have just received some of your songs from my sister who heard you in Ballinamore & how wonderful they are! I have used some lyrics in my work with teenagers who are truly having a lousy start in life – they all love the idea that their ‘opportunities are open to the sky, there all the time & invisible to the eye’. ‘Pick a story’ reduces me to tears as so few of these kids have any one to support them at all even in their earliest childhood.
Your Cds are on my Christmas present list for friends & family. Please come to Wales!!
With love
Marie
November 23rd, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Hey Juliet, Herad your song after the bomb in Omagh & knew your name rang a bell! Have listen to various other songs, which have been fab! My Dad is Rev Ivan Carson who was minister in Omagh & I went to The Academy in Omagh! Thought you might like to hear from those in your past too! hope all is well with your course & email me sometime. Best of luck, Tanya (Carson).
November 18th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
hi Juliet!!!I’m italian and I was in dublin for a month this summer, so I could know your music…that it’s fantastic!!!I have to be grate to my english teacher that she made me know it!!!
It’d be great if you come to italy for a gig!!!!!
November 17th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Juliet, great gig on Saturday night.
November 12th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Juliet, great to find you, virtually. Hope this finds you in good form and still perfecting that bruschetta. Love, Robert, Sharon (& now Sam).
October 24th, 2008 at 10:11 am
So good to see you again,even if it is only on video. You still reduce me to tears. Makes me realise how much England has missed you over the past few years. If you are coming over in the new year I can’t wait. Nice new hair style, as well!
October 2nd, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Hey
Still listening to you after all these years. Still relevant. Met you in Glasgow on a few occassions, and please come back to Scotland to play. I still play your songs live and still cry on stage while playing certain songs. I do it with my eyes closed so the people don’t notice. Your lyrics are amazing, and I still long to hear you. It would be wonderful if you could play somewhere like Knockengorroch next May. You could come for a dance in my dance tent, I would be honoured, and it would be so funky.

Hi Juliet,
Greetings from Moo Wine Bar, Ballinamore. Hope the touring is going well – please say hi to Brian, Elder and your sister for us. We have some sad news – we’re having to close Moo! When we started Moo just over a year ago we decided to give it a year in the hope that things would be picking up by now. Unfortunately things are quieter than ever for a number of reasons – economic downturn, drink/driving ban blah blah blah. Having said that, we’ve really enjoyed the experience and we’ve had some brilliant nights – especially the music gigs such as yours. I was looking at the video of your gig recently and it was an excellent show and the audience loved it. Anyway, onwards and upwards and all that. Our last night of business is this Saturday 4th October and then, who knows. Thanks to you and the lads for a great show. Hopefully we’ll catch up with you when you’re next in Ireland.
All the best,
Brent & Mary

Hi Juliet,
I have been a fan for a number of years and was so excited to see your article in Buletin! How fantastic that you’re joining our wonderful profession, I really love my job (not something too many people can say!) . The study was hard but well worth it and when I have a rough day at work I just come home and put on one of your CDs. I’m sure you’ll make a fab SLT, just please don’t give up the music, it would be such a loss to the music world. I’ll keep shouting about you everywhere I go, even more now I know that you’re a fellow speechie! Best of luck with the studies, can’t wait to buy the new album.
Jen (SLT, London)
September 28th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Just got round to reading my September RCSLT Bulletin (very busy therapist)
and am so pleased that you are continuing with your study. It is an incredibly satisfying job – worth all the hard work to get here – and I hope you will have a wonderful time studying, and hopefully then practising. Thankyou for ensuring that people know the value of SLT’s
All the best, ann
September 12th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Hello, I echo the last entry and really hope you’ll come to the West Country – we’ll travel anywhere around here! Your voice is wonderful and moves me so much! Broken things is beautiful – by far the best rendition!
Please let us know when you come to England! Best wishes
September 9th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Hello Juliet
We were introduced to your music a few years ago and we have been waiting for you to come down to the West Country (Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire)
We both chop and change what we have on our ipods but your tracks stay put.
You have a lovely natural voice and should be a major star. Keep singing, keep writing and keep performing. We have been to The Quays in Galway a few times and wish we could be there for your upcoming gig.
If you want a few venues in our area we can recommend The David Hall in South Petherton, Som. (Seen Kate Rusby,Seth Lakeman and Karine Polwart there) . .and The Salisbury Arts Centre, Salisbury,Wilts.. Both have a lovely intimate atmosphere. We do hope we will be able to see you one day. It is a treat we are eagerly looking forward to. We wish you everything that you would wish for yourself. Dave & Pat
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Love your stuff!
Could you send the station a copy of your CD(s!) so I can play you on my Sat afternoon show?
August 29th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
A little bit late but I’ve just bought the new CD. Thank you Juliet, another lovely album
August 7th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Just a quick ‘thank you’ to all involved in the show at the Island Arts Centre in Lisburn – it turned out to be the best value ticket in town with sets from three fantastic local artists and a song from Gentry Morris too! If you have all JT’s albums and wonder what to buy next check out Brian Houston, Ben Glover and the aforementioned Gentry.
……………..and if you work for the Island Arts Centre……have you any idea how wobbly those tiered seats are!!!
July 30th, 2008 at 10:30 am
hi Juliet,
We came to see you in Bray in August 2006. You were amazing, we really enjoyed our time spent at your gig. We listened to your music the entire summer that year. A year later, I gave birth to a gorgeous little girl, who we named after you. We are living in Australia now, so if you ever come to WA make sure to come to Geraldton, the Fremason pub has gigs there all the time just the right setting for gigs. It would be amazing to have you perform here!! My dear friend Sarah, sent me your latest album, which we love!! thank you for your music,
kelly
July 29th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
So….yeah…my new shipment of CD’s came in today…only about a week too late to be useful. The last couple days have been relaxing though. Had a BBQ with my friend Jamie and I am planning to go and see The Dark Night for the second time this Friday night. I hope you are enjoying your time off…we miss you…

July 29th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I don’t see it mentioned here as yet but I see Juliet, Brian & Ben are scheduled to play the Island Centre, Lisburn, N Ireland on Tuesday 5 August. Box office number is 028-9250-9254 or try http://www.islandartscentre.com.
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Hi Juliet
Saw you at the Bury Met last year. Please, when are you going to be performing there again. It was so fantastic to see you live.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:05 am
Thanks so much for another amazing night on Moon River last Thursday – we really enjoyed it! Loving the new songs & the gig was a great mix of old and new! Looking forward to seeing you again soon (“,)
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Hi Juliet,
.
your number one Dutch fan here (are there any more out there?). Thanks for the new CD. It’s fantastic. We’ve listened to it all the way during our holidays in France. Was a bit afraid for an overdose but worried for nothing. Still listening happily.
Even the kids like it and asking all the time what the song is about. Which is a bit difficult to explain if you don’t even know yourself half the time… So next time please also add a little booklet with the stories behind the songs, please
Or come over and tell us…?
Nevertheless, enjoy all the attention and the holidays and we’ll be waiting for the next one,
Edwin
July 21st, 2008 at 11:57 am
Hi Juliet,
I went to see you playing on Saturday night in Kinsale. It was such a gorgeous evening and place. Well done on a fantastic performance, this is my third time seeing you and you only get better and better.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:23 am
great gig in Moo Wine Bar Ballinamore Co Leitrim last night, loved the new songs but was great to hear some of the oldies but goodies again, lovely chilled out atmosphere very mellow and Elder was brilliant too. Keep up the good work.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Juliet Big treat to get your personalised CD from ‘my lovely Rob’ and his amazing Maria. Here’s to Edinborough and Fregoli’ Theatre’s fun and success there. Congrats. on ‘sound’ Irish Times article, and – what a lovely pictures too . I will continue to enjoy your music, yor lyrics a your very own special brand. Any chance of another Letterkenny concert as I missed the Derry One.
July 5th, 2008 at 3:40 am
Hi Juliet
I heard you first 5 years ago on the radio (Gloria Hunniford) when we spent 6 months on a working holiday in Omagh while my husband helped project manage the college there. We emigrated to Oz 26 years ago and go back for occasional holidays. Heard you on the radio and immediately sought out your album “burn the black suit”. My daughter is n an extended working holiday in London and we hope to visit her next March so am keeping tuned to your website for any gigs you may have on while we are in UK as my sisters and brother live in Portrush/Ballymoney/Carrickfergus/Newtownabbey area. Also have made some lifetime friends in Omagh as when I was there I joined the Omagh Writers Group. Anyway, good luck with your new album. Am hoping to acquire a copy of it through my family over there.
Take care
Valerie
July 4th, 2008 at 12:02 am
I was interested in the article about speech and language therapy. I am a musician and perormer, and also a life-long stammerer, who has gained a degree of freedom in communication. I was most interested to know, Juliet, if you also have a speech issue, or whether the therapy angle is more out of personal interest. If you have encountered speech issues as a performer (or indeed just as a human being) I’d be interested to compare notes. Best wishes…Chris Ward. PS – ‘Everything Beautiful is Burning’ still plays all the time in my car, and still has the power to make me cry!
July 3rd, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Hiya
Saw you two years again at greenbelt festival
Are you playing again this year?
if not when are you coming to the south coast?
I love your music. I always have one of your songs in my head.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
I would love to see you live, my brother and wife just saw you in Clifden last weekend. He sent me your other CD a few years back and I love it. You need to play a gig at The Tractor Tavern here in Seattle sometime in the near future.
Cheers
June 30th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Hi Juliet,
Thanks so much for coming to augrim, it really was such a privilage to have you come to Wicklow, I really enjoyed the gig and all your new songs and have been enjoying the album ever since, I really hope you come back to augrim and next time you do please play ‘Elvis is in the building’ and ‘vampire’ (two of my many favourites!), good luck with the rest of your studies, your tour and most of all the new album!
June 27th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Hi Juliet,
I just wanted to thank you for the gig at Creggan. I think it’s amazing that you’re willing to travel so far to bring your music to your fans. The standing ovation really did mean we didn’t want it to end!
June 27th, 2008 at 11:11 am
Hi Juliet
When I saw you at The Stables a couple of years ago we had a brief chat afterwards and you said “I need to write some more tunes” well you did that and what “tunes” The new album is fantastic. Not a bad track and so well put together, the way People have names ties it all in and gently finishes the album is just beautiful.
Thank you for it. I needed it now.
June 26th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Hi Juliet
just finished listening to the new albumfor the 5th time today have driven all my staff mad with it, it only get better and better each time. Thanks for putting on a brill show in clonmel last night you seem to be getting better every time i see you. Can’t wait to see you back in clonmel again but this time don’t leave it as long.
Michael Doocey
June 26th, 2008 at 2:30 am
Dear Juliet,
I am looking at your website with interest and my Mum and myself read your article in the Irish Times Magazine at the weekend. I was interested to read that you are now studying Speech and Language Therapy and I hope to buy your latest album soon.
With love from Emma.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Just loved the concert at An creggan on Friday night. Gentry Morris was good. But loved your performance from beginning to end. Congratulations and good luck. Kate
June 25th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Hey hey Julie! Blast from Glasgow past – Karl Nyquist sent me an article about you in Irish Times – SO cool! So proud of all you have accomplished and the risks you have taken along the way….. my one famous friend.
Take care – Andrew
June 25th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Hi Juliet,
I saw you and Brian Grace in the Roisin Dubh in Galway recently. As always, it was a fantastic gig. Gentry Morris was excellent. Looking forward to seeing you back there again
All the best… Linda x
P.S Love the new album… (‘especially elder of the tribe’)
June 23rd, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Dear Juliet, Now back home in Bath, England, I want to thank you for a brilliant concert last Friday at Creggan. You enthralled me so much you had my eyebrows dancing! There was plenty of room for that in the intimate space. I had to get my front row grandaughter back to her bed in Castlerock at the end of your show so couldn’t thank you then. I had come to Ireland listening to the new album but my continueing listening has been enriched by now knowing the biographical/autobiographical elements in your songwriting.
I too have a tale about that flag!
With thanks, Martin Newman
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Dear Juliet,
How fortunate I was such a poor Biology teacher, otherwise the world would have missed out on your terrific music! I will buy your new CD from the shop (honest!!) since
a). We could only rustle up ¬£5 between us for Gentry’s CD
b). There was a massive queue
Very well done! We continue to follow your career with interest. I am going to stop now before this starts to sound like a report, albeit a brilliant one!
Best wishes
Stephen (and Patricia) Hey
June 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Juliet,
Just want to say hello and a big congrats on how well you seem to be doing lately. We love you Julie!!! As much as a Marks and Spencers cookie….you have our hearts it’s true!! The very best of luck with the gigs this summer, we’re thrilled for you.
Cathy,Orla and Evo

Hi Juliet,
Went to see you in the An Creggan Centre last night (Friday). Tell Gentry I like his fashionable outfit (hat, waistcoat wild west look). He’s a very relaxed gentleman and very witty, especially when he forgot his own lines! You always do a good show and last night was as expected, brilliant, great seeing you again. My favourite album is Let’s hear it for pizza. The Creggan Centre is a lovely intimate venue but as someone said the seating arrangements could do with a little work, I spent a good bit of the night stretching to see you rather than the back of someone’s head ha ha! When I did get a good view I enjoyed myself much better! Goodluck with the tour girl!
Susan
June 21st, 2008 at 5:40 pm
An Creggan Centre, at the foot of the Sperrins, midway between Cookstown and Omagh.
Pluses –
Such an intimate gig, about 80 people on 5 rows of chairs in a small room.
Juliet
Juliet
Conor Brady – I know the name – great guitarist
People Have Names – Juliet played the whole album interspersed with songs from the near and distant (to her – distant to me is much longer ago), and though I had heard some of them before this was every track, very impressed
Minuses – (sorry Juliet but whilst my honesty loses me false friends my true friends respect it)
All seating on same level, I was in the back row, and whilst I am over 6 foot tall could only see the top of Juliet’s head.
No Brian Grace – missed his style of guitar playing and Conor didn’t harmonise with you whilst Brian does.
And that’s all I have to gripe about
Juliet, you have an ineffable quality in your music (voice/lyrcs and music) which is truly magical. Thank you for sharing it with us. I drove home through your home town of Dromore last night enroute to Enniskillen on such a high, and played your songs full blast!
Hope the rest of the tour is as good as last night.
Ziggy
June 21st, 2008 at 11:25 am
Hi Juliet,thought the gig in an creggan centre was amazing.Been listening to your albums for quite a while now but always wanted to hear you live.Now that I have,blown away,I was hooked from the first line,couldnt believe when it was over,the time flew.Cant wait to see you live again.The new album is fantastic.Gentry was also amazing,a totally hidden talent,he will be very big.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Hey Juliet,
I have been listening to the new arrival. Whilst enjoying it, I am still trying to put the pieces together in an attempt to see the big puzzle of the thoughts and experiences that might have informed your lyrics and music in People Have Names.
I and my friends, whom I have converted to your music over the years, would love to hear the little stories that you are known to share about your songs during your gigs. They are revealing, humorous and you!
Thus, we would like you to consider coming over to the quaint city of Canterbury and tell us your tales and bewilder us with your music!
There is a lovely small venue, called The Orange Street, which we think might be a special enough venue for the kind of gigs you do (see contact address for the venue below)
May you be content and happy.

My brother, my dear friend, died almost two years ago. I listen to “Broken Things” almost every day. It just helps, that’s all I can say, and I thank you.
June 18th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Hey there, I see you will be braving it and heading to Aughrim, Co. Wicklow next weekend. I am going to phone them up and book some tickets (it’s the mammy’s birthday). I saw you last at the Mermaid in Bray and it was a great gig. I have one request for the 28th of June….please please can you play Vampire at some stage in the evening? It’s one of my favourite songs ever (I still request it on eastcoast fm regularly) and you would make my evening if you sang it!
Looking forward to the gig and of course a plate of bacon and cabbage in the bar before hand! LOL
Good luck with the other venues on the tour. I don’t know how you do it all and still keep your sense of humour!
June 17th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Hey Julie
Saw you in the Roisin Dubh on Sunday night. As always it was a fantastic show from start to finish!! It was a complete pleasure to sit and listen to yourself and Gentry for the evening!! The best of luck with the rest of the tour!!
June 14th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Hey Juliet,
Was at the pavillion in Cork on Wednesday night. Was captivated from start to finished. Best of luck with the tour. Gentry is amazing too.
June 13th, 2008 at 2:10 am
Hi Juliet,
it’s great to hear your new album. I’ve looked forward to it for a while now and hope to have a hard copy soon, failing that, by download. How are you? I heard a song from your latest album on the Iain Anderson Show on BBC Radio Scotland there tonight(just into 13th June), so the power of radio lives on!
I am fascinated to see you’ve furthered your studies with a course in Speech Therapy. Last time you were in Comrie, you’d hurt your voice but you still had a go anyway.(Mushroom Farmer?) I tried to sing up but it’s always the case that the words run away from me as you got to them. Ah, it was just great having you and Mary Lee Cortes here. Let us know if you’re going to make it back to Scotland again sometime; there’s a new sound-proofed ceiling in the big hall in the Community Hall here in Comrie, so it doesn’t sound like a cave; and there’s a brand new Concert hall at Perth(The Horse-Cross). Life exists north of G’gow/E’burg!
No easy subject is speech though as there’s so many differences from person to person. I have had to cope with my speech going wrong(wong!) and I’ve fought my way back to what tricks, adaptions and alternatives for sounds and words I can’t say, to having some sort of feasable speech. U, L and R are still problematic, R is quite impossible and the right side of my mouth and tongue doesn’t respond properly(like the rest of my right side). Then there’s the 3 1/2 and 4 syllable words….. The weird thing is, like a person who stutters only, I too can sing in excellent diction and speak other languages! English IS my speech impediment!
) No great change there then…ok ok, enough of that 
)
(An aside I’ve found there is that if I trounce off into a stanza of (self-taught) Gaelic or what little French I’ve learned, it is getting harder to return to clearish English….hmmm, now I know why the SALT team I had, said “no” to me learning other languages.
( My wee lass copes with it better as she’s grown from young with it and is usually very bubbly anyway, as is ever the case.
Singing is the greatest therapy, used so much in CBT in stroke and other palsies, I hear, to great success with some. Difficult speech can mean interupted breathing rythmes and singing can help there with some people. Confidence too.
My wee girl has speech difficulties too, from different reasons, but has the same problems with R sounds too. I know some of her frustrations.
A friend of mine studied Linguistics and Therapy before going to Australia.. She’s set up her own Consultancy via this web-site. http://www.linguistlearning.com and has written a book(if memory serves?)
One other aside though. Great to see you’ve released Tuesday Night Ladies!!
Sorry, I’ve gone on a bit so edit as reqd. I do this to my GP too, but it’s probably the same with most GPs patients.
Anyway, all the best with the course, enjoy the “Clear L”, roll those Rs and all success with the new “People Have Names” album Juliet,
Take care and luff’n'stuff honey,
Adam Copland,
Comrie.

Great Album Juliet…the best yet!
June 10th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I’ve only just discovered Juliet’s music and it’s great.
I’m in Ireland for a flying visit on the weekend of the 22nd and thought I might be able to see Juliet perform, I’m staying in Limavady, N. Ireland. Juliets in Cookstown on the night I arrive (20th – 33 miles) and Derry the night I leave (22nd – 22 miles). So where is she on Saturday 21st? The far side of Galway – 206 miles – obviously a girl who doesn’t mind travelling – or needs a new GPS when planning her tour.
Any plans to play London Juliet?
June 9th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I saw you at a greenbelt festival way back in 199x, and you knocked my socks off. Over the years I’ve heard the odd track on Wogan, brought the albums and “vampire” has become mine and Candice’s ‘our song’. Everyone laughs when we tell them this (it’s going to be the first dance at our wedding in two weeks), so whats the story behind it, and are there any tour dates coming up in England so Candice can get to see you live at last? best wishes…
June 8th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Hi Juliet!
You were fabulous (as always) last night in Flowerfield Art Centre! my granny and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was lovely meeting you again! We have listened to your new album already and hink that it is really, really good! I also love your new haircut!!!! Please do let me know when you are back at the North Coast soon!!!! Good luck with all your work and keep up the good work!!

Hi Juliet,
After hoping to go to your show some time ago and sadly bottling out, I finally made it to Portstewart last night. It was a wonderful show. I really enjoyed all the songs from Anthony’s starting set all the way through to the end. Sorry I didn’t sing along too much but that’s not a bad thing. Your new album sounds very strong and has a beautiful tone. Thank you for creating it and the very best of luck with it’s success.
May 25th, 2008 at 12:35 pm

Juliet – any chance of you playing Greenbelt this year? Would be great to see you there again.
May 18th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Hi Juliet, your link for the an-creagan centre doesn’t work (because it is spelled wrong!).
I’m still a moderator on your Yahoo fan group, and by the quinky dinks of life happen to have had a speech impediment for the (nearing a half century) majority of my life.
Intrigued by the new album.
Will the tour feature a full band or the acoustic Juliet (duo or trio) which I prefer???

Hi Juliet , my Dad let me use his computer to say that at the age of 10 I really enjoyed my first gig at the Clotsworthy . Thank you for signing my album again and my wee brother Harry enjoyed listening to it as well .
I hopefully will get to see you again sometime .

May 13th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Hi Juliet,
Hope you are keeping well. Just wondering when the new album will be on sale and where from? Can’t wait to hear the new songs.
All the best with exams etc!
Jay
May 12th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Hi Juliet,
I was at your concert on Friday night at Clotworthy in Antrim. It’s the first time I’ve seen/heard you in concert and you totally blew my mind away. I’ve been listening to your new album all weekend and am still singing the tunes at work today. I loved the way you took time before each song to tell us your thoughts when writing it (and boy, are you a deep thinker!). Most artists don’t sound half as good in concert but you were fantastic!! And you kept referring to the concert as a ‘gig’ so I was tickled pink that I must still be young and trendy to have been to a gig!!
May 12th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
HI Juliet
My wife and I had the pleasure being at your gig in the arts centre Downpatrick.10/5/2008 thank you and your team as artist for sharing your talents with us.
April 26th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Hey Juliet
Van Morrison was on BBC 4 last night and Paul Moore was playing bass! That was such a good band when you did your live album,shame you didn’t tour together.
April 20th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Hi Juliet, I see a request for you to visit Shetland, well we are here in Orkney and we have many music festivals and events, traditional and contemporary music from all over the world, I will keep pushing your name with the various committees! See the Orkney website http://www.visitorkney.com to see how lovely it is here. Love your music especially fond of “burn your black suit”
April 20th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Hi, Juliet
I was watching an American film called ‘The Nines’ recently and almost yelped when I heard the strains of your version of ‘Sugartown’ in the background during a scene (I get overly-excited by such things). Whoever put the soundtrack together had excellent taste because Pink Martini also featured – it’s the first time I’ve heard either of you featured on a film and the latter was interesting in itself, too. I hope it brings you new fans. Looking forward to the new album and the upcoming tour (don’t forget to stop over in Cork!), and best of luck with any upcoming exams.
Catherine
April 18th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Hope the college course is going ok. Just wondered if you have ever been to shetland, its a great place and would be great to have you come play here, My fiance introduced me to your music and now when I hear it I think of him. We are getting married next year and are hoping we can get a band that can try and cover a few of your songs, but hey if your free you could always come over and do it!!
Take care
April 12th, 2008 at 10:51 am
There I was, reading ‘Murphy’s Revenge’, by Colin Bateman, and on Page 39 I came across the following paragraph:
‘When he was cleaned up and dressed he walked back into the lounge, took off the Springsteen and replaced it with an album by Juliet Turner. She was from his neck of the woods, and sounded like it. No mid-Atlantic accent for her. There was something very soothing about her voice, like she’d been badly hurt by someone but had crawled her way back to life and was happy now, but couldn’t help looking back. Whatever. It worked for him.’
Later in the book he puts the album on in his car.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Hello Juliet
I have been listening to some of your music recently in and enjoyed it very much, I especially love the song I hope that I don’t fall in Love with you which you sing with Brian Kennedy, I have certainly fallen in love with this song. I hope you come to Glasgow soon as it would be great to see you in person. Your music is a true delight

Hi Juliet, found the site address on your c.d
have bn a fan since I was much younger and seen you perform ‘burn the black suit’ on some programme on telly, was instantly impressed and remember my dad and I singing the chorus, as a greeting round the house for the entire following week! I’m not usually the type of girl who writes fan mail, and I hope thats not what this sounds like. Fan mail is for boy bands with ripping abs or sent by crazy stalker men who want to marry you. This is just a letter to from a girl with big dreams to another girl with extraordinary talents, who’s made some of hers come true. You endeared yourself to me immediately because you were Irish, gutsy, upbeat, amazingly talented and cheeky to boot. There was a certain glint in your eye that suggested you knew something the rest of the world hadn’t caught on to yet, and I was extemely jealous that’d you’d mastered what I wished I could do. Music speaks to me but I can’t speak through it (yet!! I play my guitar and I try very hard!) . Your songs make such incredible sense to me. I’ve just turned 18 and there’s something so refreshing in the honesty of your music. My friends and I have lost a lot of friends lately, some through suicide. Music’s always had the ability to alter my mood, change my perceptions and teach me how to react. We found lots of songs that tried to express how you feel when you lose someone, some became the soundtrack to the horrible confusion and offered tiny consulation. Too many friends left too early in such a short space of time that it seemed ‘everything beautiful was burning’ and ‘everyone close to us was leaving’. I dont know if I’ve interpreted the song how you meant it. But the suggestion that when we’re missing someone we’ve loved and lost, they haven’t forgot us and ‘drink a toast to our recovery’ helps… and makes me less guilty about turning to the ‘sunlight baby’. It’s not a weepy song, not weak and helpless, its strong and uplifting and hopeful, acknowledges the pain but encourages the healing. Your music reflects life, proud beating rythms that don’t apologise for the vulnerabiltiy of lust or the inexplicability of emotion. I connect because your brave enough to allow me know what your feeling.
My leaving cert Music practical is coming up in the next few weeks, I’d really love to try do some justice to ‘everything beautiful…’ for the exam but I can’t find accurate guitar chords to help anywhere! I’ve made an attempt to make them out myself but I cant get it just right! I’d really appreciate any help!!
Thanks so much for your music and your time reading this, (and believe the begining wasn’t just a butter- up, as i realise now it might have sounded!!)
Love
Laura English, Tipperary, Ireland

Hey Juliet, just discovered you via DAZ.com
Great music! Hope you come to holland sometime…

Hi Juliet,
Hope your course is going well and the album is coming together for you. Im just wondering if you are playing the Roisin Dubh on 15th June? Its on their site but not on yours?
All the best with essays, exams, songs and stuff,
Take it easy

Here’s to the new Album!
SNOW
Woke up to the snow fall
Curly soft petols, white
They were falling inaudibly
They had once resisted gravity
And were now falling gracefully.
Went out and the damp drops of snow
Prickling the back of our necks
Soon this duvet of whit e covered us
Soon this intimacy allowed us
To smell this scented snow
The scent of travelled distance.

Juliet,
I bought your first album the year it came out and only really listened to ‘Take the Money and Run.’ I think this was due to the fact that Terry Wogan had played it constantly on BBC Radio 2. Anyway I, for some reason, pulled it out at the weekend, put it on my Ipod and went for a walk. I played it through and realised that every song on it is great. So, basically, I’m saying sorry for it taking so long for it to grow on me but I’m playing it constantly now! P.S. I’m from Northern Ireland but currently living in England and have turned quite a few people over here on to your stuff. Take Care, Ed
March 6th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Dear Eon.
Are you fundamentally sure you will never buy another one of my albums? Couldn’t I tempt you by telling you the new album (out in June) is very, very good? If you play the fifth track backwards, you will hear me singing backwards in gibberish. I’m sure it would save your soul. Why don’t you buy it secretly? No one would ever know…
thanks for the laugh. Keep burning the books.
Juliet
March 6th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
I went to see her a few years back in the Cork Opera House and was one of the best concerts I have seen in my life, but I just found her name on Christian Artists website I can assure her that the album I did purchase will be the last I will purchase of her also.
February 27th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Hello Juliet!! I love the new site!!!!!! Hope to see you in Belfast soon, we’ve been missing you up here! Can’t wait for the new album =)
Rob
February 20th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Hi was just wondering if you had any plans to return to Lisburn anytime soon. I never made it to see you last time but i will be there for sure the next time
February 13th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Hi Juliet, still listening to all your cds. will have to get to see you in concert sometime soon, your music still used to heal my head. you know what i mean.x nearly 10 years on.
February 1st, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Hey Juliet,
Looking forward so much to hearing you on Sunday! It’s so nice to be sharing the gig with you.
Till then!
Julie
January 20th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Hi, Id say its Pizza and Wine ur on about – its on the first Cd I got by Juliet – Lets Hear it for pizza. Hope you get a copy cos its really nice and stripped back so you can hear the great vocals Juliet has. xx Johnny
January 17th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Hi i was at your recent gig in Omagh with brain houston. after we stamped our feet for a recall, you came back on stage and someone requested a song. it made me cry, it touched a familar place and i would love to know what it is called, and the album it is on. it was about wanting to tell someone that you loved them and the line that stood out most was about pizza and wine. i know i prob have it, but i cant seem to find it. i would appreciate your help in my treasure hunt.
January 9th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Hi~
I found your hompage namend in my English Textbook. xD (ok, not your homepage, but it was a homepage made by a fan. And when I searched after this I found your page ^^)
Curious as I am, I looked after your page and heard to the song. And I really like it! You have such a nice voice
January 7th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
hi juliet,
would you mind telling me who did the artwork/graphic design for your album cover ‘season of the hurricaine’…it was a really cool mix of photography, graphics and trickery!
at the moment, im trying to cobble together ideas for my own album cover, and we’re leaning towards this kind of approach…any info would be much appreciated.
cheers!
philip john.
January 6th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Nice to see you back at the black box last night. Thanks for taking time out for a wee yarn and asking for advice on future concerts yes bring the organ back.
January 4th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Oops – forgot to say my email is andylock75@hotmail.com!
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:55 pm
My sister and I saw you at your Armagh gig on the 29th December 07 – it seemed like an effortlessly brilliant and friendly performance. It was also great to hear the ideas and inspirations for your songs. Thanks for a great night…and for signing our CDs!
December 31st, 2007 at 1:00 am
Hi Juliet
Long time no see – too long! Do you remember I had an idea for an album. If you email me I can send you some more details and ideas. I’dlove to come over to Ireland to see you in concert sometime.
Hope to hear from you – happy new year to you and Brian
Andy Lock
December 29th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
As a moderator of your ‘unofficial’ fan site on Yahoo I would have so liked to say hello after the brilliant gig in Omagh last night.
Firstly Brian Houston was great, an impish, puckish, punkish, very talented guy.
But then you came on, and reminded me why I had come to see you, so nice to hear all your new songs and to hear Brian Grace again. You just entranced, enchanted and enraptured me during the whole performance and I think I left a little bit of my heart there! You are a very special person Juliet, thank you for making my Christmas complete. Can’t wait for the next album or the next time you play near Enniskillen.
December 29th, 2007 at 1:29 am
Just a quick few words to say “thank you” for a great night out in Lisburn. I hadn’t seen you live since The Spirit Store gigs and came away feeling restored and refreshed. Hope that sore throat clears up soon.
Brian
December 28th, 2007 at 11:36 am
Juliet – Saw you in Lisburn last night. Sometimes I thought there were so many mournful songs in a row that it got a little dark. I’d have liked a few more upbeat numbers in the set. Don’t get me wrong, I had a very enjoyable evening and I’m still lovin your work
– Thanks.
December 28th, 2007 at 2:19 am
hi juliet
just returned home after your Gig in Lisburn.
Captivating!!!, a truly intimate, warm and thoroughly superb evening.
What a talant.
Cant t wait to recommend you Gigs.
Good luck for the future Juliet.
ken and friends
December 27th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
Hi Juliet…i am going to see you play for the first time tonight!…..i am a friend of the legendary Brian Grace and he is personally taking me to see you guys tonight…how lucky am i??…i love your record “Season of the Hurricane” especially the song “no good in this goodbye”…great words…touched me…and “take the money…” is fun!……thank you…hope u have a great gig!…jimmy coup
December 25th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
We have 3 tickets in Row D for Juliet’s concert in Armagh on the 29th December; unfortunately we are flying home on that evening now so can no longer go. If anyone is interested, please email donal.murray@hotmail.co.uk with an offer (the tickets were ¬£15 each originally). The tickets are transferrable (but non-refundable; we have the confirmation email which is all that is needed. Thanks.
December 24th, 2007 at 12:08 am
hi juliet

How you doing? Long time no see…. love reading all about you on your website. Dont have an address for you but I wanted to wish you a very Happy Christmas and New Year. Dont’ forget to call if you passing through Navan… we’d love to see you. Take care. Lorraine & Martin
December 19th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
Hello Juliet,any chance you could look at a song for me and may,be sing it if ya like it.I am a Belfast boy living in switzerland and need someone to make this song known.It is called Primitive Belle.
Have you an agent i can send it too.
Yours David mac
December 19th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Hi Juliet, It has been a few weeks but I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at Windsor Tennis Club in aid of Beyond the Shadows. Sexual exploitation of children in NI is such a hidden problem and people are either ignorant of it or choose not to open their eyes and ears to it. I was grateful to have the opportunity to speak on behalf of the young people to those at the tennis club and sincerely hope that it will have sown a seed. Many thanks and Happy Christmas. Jacqui
December 10th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Hi Juliet, I’m totally freaked out that i missed the gig in Whelans. I’d been looking forward to it for months and then ……total brain freeze. Probably serves me right though I was dying to have a look at Brian and find out is he the same Brian that i was mad about in his glam rock days? First saw them in Galway 6 years ago this Christmas and then Marley Park Hotel or have a got the wrong Brian Grace?
Have a great Christmas.
Andrea
December 9th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Hi Juliet,
When oh when oh when are you going to come back to the north east of england and give us geordie fans another sparkling concert? It’s been far too long. All the C.d.’s are worn out too…..another album please would also be nice. Cannot wait to see you live again you are a musical genius (and there ain’t a lot of them around these days) a poet for the angels, a cracking axe player, and a beautiful personallity too. Pleeeeeeasssssse don’t leave it too long to return. Your number one geordie fan, Trev ( of ‘Few Broth’ fame….keep viewing the website)
December 8th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
Hi Juliet,
Your music makes me so happy and full of joy! think your music is fabulous. Come back to London soon.
Godbless Eugene
December 5th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Hey Juliet,
It’s been a long time since we met, and don’t worry i don’t expect you to remember me! I was only a little ginger boy at the time and you played in the Mallow Park Hotel (aka the Central), Mallow, Co.Cork. This was more than a few years ago(!) but and i seen you live since, but i just want to say thank you! Thank you for your music, your voice, for sharing your gift with everyone. You’re performing as i’m typing this in UCC tonight. I’m only a few mins away back in my apartment ‘studying’ for my first year college exams, wishing i was singing along with you! (I’m listening to you on my stereo as i’m writing to this). Well i hope i haven’t sounded like a mad man! Just thought i’d get in touch, keep the music coming!

Juliet, good to read the report on the slavery conference. You’d appreciate reading “A Hero for Humanity” about William Wilbeforce, an exceptional man.
Hope you’re still singing and writing – you’re still the one.
See you in Dublin soon….
November 30th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Hey Juliet,
whenever i lisning to your cd in the car it gives me a deep great smile in my heard, because your cd ( Burn The Black Suit ) was one of the first present my gf gave me for 3 years in december and we absulutly love since then . We do enjoy your music much.
I think we need to hear you live again in London
hope to see you on the road next year soon.
Have a fabolous christmas and peaceful new year !

thanks for the gig, whealans, wexford st. dublin, 29th nov. im at home now, listening to season of the hurricane. vampire. my favourite. gave the taxi driver a present of your single, he gave me 2.50 off the fare. it as all good. i’ve gotta get into your new stuff. really got into the last album. think you’re our joni mitchell, if you wanna be. anyway, for sure you notherners have alot of depth, and you all are so articulate.
November 29th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Hi Juliet
I really enoyed your interviewon RTE the other day. What a wonderful voice and song, and more unusual, to come across as a such wonderfully balanced insightful human being. Congrats on the brave return to study, speech and language therapy is a fabulous profession, my son is reaping great rewards from the work that has been done with him.
More to the point, I heard your ‘Elder of the Tribe’ song and would love to use it for the end credits of a small documentary that I am making about an amazing 76 year old man in my community. I know that ‘imro’ is the organization that I contact, but I am not some huge production company, ( mother of 3 small kids making this on a wing and a prayer) so I was wondering if these rights would be hugely out of my league? This project is a labour of love that is taking forever but this guy is unbelievable and your song would just be the perfect piece to complete the story. Would appreciate some feedback or information please thank you.
Sincere best wishes and good luck

Hi Juiet, Heard you on monday morning on radio one in interview. Enjoyed it.That second song you done was so beauitful. Some of the lyrics in it was take care of your lovely young life If I remember right (sorry if I have it wrong)
First heard you way back when you did suport for the fabulous Brian Kennedy & have your album cd. Your voice is so sweet & lovely.
Best of luck with the studying but keep on singing & writing too if you have time.
November 15th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
your songs stillaffect me and open worlds of emotions. Thank you for singing your songs, as you once thanked me for singing yours.
November 13th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
So I’ve bcome a poet have I. What an honour! Windsor Tennis Club is just next door. Please put on your rider that you need the windows open during the gig!

October 29th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
I’ve always wondered – what’s the story behind Tuesday Night Ladies?
October 7th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Hiya Juliet, having just recently discovered Duke Special and become a huge fan of his (oh been listening to you for years by the way), I read somewhere you’d played with him – now that I would have given my right arm, leg or tes…, er ok you get the drift! And songs of yours or his that include the words like “pain” and “face” tickle me because I can do my N Irish accent when singing along! Am visiting the family in Bangor at Xmas so hows about a last minute gig eh? eh?
October 2nd, 2007 at 7:15 pm
hi there great music. Where can I get the chords for your songs, love john
September 29th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Hey Juliet,
My girlfriend and I absolutely love your music and have all your albums. We were gutted when we missed you in Glasgow a couple of years ago and would really love to see you live.
Have you any plans to come back to land of Haggis and Whiskey? Keep writing and singing those beautiful songs, you have a real talent.
September 28th, 2007 at 9:49 am
Hi Juliet
Good to know that you are enjoying studying 2nd time round – I reckon everyone should be allowed to go to Uni once they’ve grown up, I’m sure the world would be a better place for that.
Looking forward to the new album whenever you do release it, it would be great to see you back in England though.
Hope the resit went OK.
September 25th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
It was a great treat for me to personaly meet you in one of,L’ARCHE houses. As i will not be at my house,the weekend I will do my best and try to go to your concert in Whelans[Dublin]29/11/07.
September 25th, 2007 at 9:01 am
Hi Juluet, just wondered if you had any plans to play wexford/waterford soon?
September 21st, 2007 at 9:18 am

September 13th, 2007 at 9:13 am
Saw yesterday the movie Omagh. Your song at the end was very moving. I’ll will look for the CD, if I find it here in Belgium.
July 10th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Sounds like you are having a great time being a student second time around. Your report of the Slavery Conference was fascinating and thanks for giving people information about trafficking and the Truth Isn’t Sexy campaign.
Hope you will find time to come over to London soon – the last time I heard you was at the Half-Moon in Putney

I appear to be the first to sign. You seem to be juggling a lot of balls recently. Good luck with the college course, but please don’t stop writing and singing. I would miss your “one every four years” studio albums and I think you are a truly intriguing writer and engaging performer. Best of wishes to you.
