   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 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!!!!

   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!

   Juliet, I am an ex-pat living in London, and I spent the evening wth a few friends lstening to your music, youtubed you and I remember a Nov in 2004, in Derry City HOT HOUSE FLOWERES CHARITY GIG.
   I was a wee youngin’ and hadn’t been introduced to your music ever before, but it struck a chord with me that night, and to revisit it with an older, more experienced head on me shoulders makes it resonnate all the more,
   Please come and play in London sometime soon.
   PS-Wondering if you still have that sycamore pendant with the words on itfrom the local silversmiths in Derry, I think you were worried it was ‘trendy’

   Hi Juliet,
   Many thanks for a great gig on Saturday in Bangor. Loved your voice, the oh so wonderful lyrics – and of course Brians brilliant guitar playing. I love your albums of course but I think you shine with acoustic guitar and an audience.

   You came to mind the other day, while I was travelling on a train home with the i-pod on. “I hope that I won’t fall in love with you” came on, and I was transported back to 1994, late summer/autumn. You played the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy supporting Roger McGuinn. At the interval, after your set (you began with “Dr Fell” and played most of the “Let’s Hear It For Pizza” album – it’s a crystal clear memory) I bought the album. It’s been a huge favourite ever since. I picked up the second album, too, and then the music press stopped writing (at least on this side of the pond) and I took far too long to look you up. All of which is a very long-winded way of saying I have very special memories of that night and I love your stuff. Keep it up.

    Hi Juliet!
    I’m thirteen and i went to your concert with John Spillane in the NCH a week or two ago with my parents and I had never heard of you before but you were brilliant! I loved all your songs. It was a great concert . I hope you come back soon !
11. Marie on November 5, 2010 at 11:48 am said:

    Hi Juliet
    I just thought I’d look and see when your next concert is and lo and behold it’s tomorrow night in St Brides. Good timing. Looking forward. I hope I don’t cry when you sing that song- You’re smart enough to make it on your own- I’m not sure if you have kids but you have hit the nail on the head about motherhood with that song. I played it to my 20 yr old daughter and she burst out crying- but that’s good! My 14 year old is a fan too. Even my 12 yr old boy will sing along to “What do ya mean you don’t like shopping?”

    Hi JulieT

    Just checking where you’re playing and can’t believe it’s tomorrow night in Belfast and here I am in England. Would love to be there to hear you sing. Hadn’t seen you since a shale hockey pitch in Tyrone and then one sad and solemn day there you were; you made us all cry with the song that you sang. But also very proud. Have been listening ever since and converting as many English people as possible! Best of luck tomorrow night. Gillian x

    Juliet and Brian,

    Sincere thanks to you for such an enchanting performance in Trim at the weekend. It was great to have ye over for a show and we hope ye enjoyed it as much as we did! Pics and bits and pieces to follow over the coming week or so .. Best wishes,

    Enda & Gerry.

    Juliet, when oh when are you coming back to the north east of England? It seems ages since we last saw you at Barrels in Berwick (the 5th time we’ve seen you there!) We are getting withdrawal symptoms. Also desperate for a new CD, anything on the horizon? Come and play the Sage in Gateshead and if you need a warm up artist I’m your man! (I’m serious about that too and I would do it free just to get the chance to share a stage with you!) Take care. TREV.

    Winter Giggles

    They cackle through the quiet
    of the cold, white snow.

    Furtively, novelty settles in.

    They steam through their nostrils like horses,
    carrying each other’s arms
    not for support-
    but to soon report
    from their rosy lips:
    Clumsy slides and slips.
    And sometimes the mere chance of them
    doubles their giggles.

    Welcome Winter!

    Welcome Winter, for they would not do this
    during any other season
    (or for any other reason).

    Hello Juliet,

    I am a twelve year old student living in Madison, Wisconsin in the United States and I am doing a project for National History Day about the Good Friday Agreement and the Omagh bombing. I am a singer and I will be singing Broken Things as part of my project. I wondered if you have any advice for me and if there is a way for me to ask you some questions or interview you by phone or email? I became interested in this subject because the Omagh bombing happened on the day I was Christened in Dublin and my parents have often told the sad story of that day.

    Hi juliet,

    Your gig in “the hole in he wall” in Kilkenny was amazing. Really enjoyed it. Lovely venue also.

    Hi Juliet

    Any plans to come back to The Bury Met? Really enjoyed your last visit there and would love to see you again.

    All the Best

    Thanks Michelle

    Hi Juliet
    I was at your gig in Cyprus Avenue last night and sorry to say I was a bit disappointed. You were incredible as usual, but I was a quite annoyed at mainly 2 things. It was my first time in this venue and it’ll be my last. The noise coming through from next door was appalling. Not your fault I know. The second was though. I have never seen you come and go so fast at any of your gigs. It was so short. I don’t know whether this was because of the noise in the venue or simply because this is now your normal setlist. I have seen you live probably more than 10 times and have never left disappointed til now. Again I stress you were incredible and I absolutely loved your version of roll back the clouds. I am a huge fan of Christy Hennessy and I definitely think he would have loved it. Hope to see you in cork or the suburbs again soon.

    Hey Juliet
    I took a guy with Aspergers to see Toploader last Friday, and between bands Rich, the sound guy, played ‘People Have Names’. Said he’d really like to get you back at the Fleece In Bristol! how about it?

    Hi Juliet et al
    Do you know if I can buy your version of Roll Back The Clouds. Heard you sing it in Cork and it was fantastic.
    Thanks Michael.
26. Nick Twomey on June 17, 2011 at 2:17 pm said:

    Juliet,

    I discovered your amazing voice and songwriting at the end of Omagh (the film). I would be interested in hosting you for a house party if you are ever in the US. We live in a small but extraordinarily beautiful community in Michigan filled with artists of all sorts. Winters are cold and snowy, but summers are lovely.

    My other option is to travel to Ireland to hear you, which would be delightful too. But in the event you are planning a US tour I’d love to bring you to Michigan–perhaps help coordinate some other concerts too.

    Peace,

    Nick Twomey (an Irish-American lad)

    Hi Juliet, when are you coming back to the north east of England to play? We miss you so much. I still play my versions of ‘Tuesday night ladies’ and ‘ take the money and run’. Please, please, please come back soon! Your biggest fan, TREV.
28. Jackie Duffy on October 4, 2011 at 9:32 am said:

    Juliet, I own a bar in Leicester and we have been running a series of ‘An Audience with…) events. I would love it if you would consider playing here. Our capacity is about 60. I’ve been a fan for a long time and work with the Irish community as a community worker and know that people here would love to see you play in a small quirky venue. Would this be something you would be up for. Sliante.
29. Nick Hardie on October 9, 2011 at 9:20 pm said:

    Juliet – my wife and I are long term fans, I have seen you Basingstoke, Spirit Store, Black Box, Sheffield and Inniskeen. I am no longer living in Omagh but if as the last few posts ask you are coming to England please come to Sheffield you can even play at our house

    Hey Juliet

    I just watched a clip of Lisa Hannigan making the video for ‘Knots’, and there was Myles – wearing a cap very similar to the one he wore when you did the live album in Dundalk. I photographed her in the Fleece in Bristol a couple of years ago, and she said how she hadn’t seen you for ages. I’m trying hard to get a photopass for Bristol in November. Got any email contacts.
32. Erik on February 3, 2012 at 7:08 am said:

    I just wanted to say how bittersweet it was to come across your recording of “Broken Things” and how moved I was by your voice and poignancy of the lyrics, especially given that I had just finished watching “Omagh.” I know that it is a Julie Miller song, but hearing your voice and just picturing the solemnity of the occasion in which you performed it, just moved me to tears.

    That sad context of how I discovered you, aside, I want to say I do love your voice and I will be trying to find a copy of your record that I can enjoy here in the States. And since I have been planning a trip to Ireland, if I am so lucky as to be there when you are still doing shows, I will definitely make it a point to come to a show.

    You have much talent, Ms. Turner. I hope one day I am fortunate enough to hear that talent, live. California is really nice right now, if you’re in need of holiday plan ideas. Southern California, to be exact.

    Hi Juliet,

    Just discovered your Dr. Fell song. Love it! Can I ask who’s the inspiration for this song?

    Best of luck!

    Hi Juliet,
    just heard your set and interview on bbc Ulster, loved every second of it. Times can be very hard in this industry and i know well, but hearing fellow local artists like your self help to keep my inspiration alive. Best of luck tonight at your Lisburn gig. All the best,

    Hi Juliet

    I normally do not warm to female singers until I heard you! Initially on the car radio where I wouldn’t get out until the song was over. Finally, got to hear you in the Black Box in December 2011 and recently in Lisburn Arts Centre. I love the clarity in how you express the words in the songs and the bitter/sweet tone in the romantic songs. ‘High Hopes’ from your last album is great and was what you opened with at the aforementioned two gigs. I’m told we have Terry Wogan to thank for giving you air play! That being the case, take a bow Mr Wogan. Many thanks too for your commitment to small forum gigs. They are hard to beat.

    Hi Juliet

    Really enjoyed your gig at the White Horse in Ballincollig last night with Matt McGinn – it was great and very good value in a nice intimate venue. Kevin, Carrigaline

    Got tickets to see you an Yvonne at the Cluny, Nescastle!!!! I’m delighted you are coming back to the north east. I can’t wait to see/hear you live again. it’s been far too long. Your biggest north east fane.
39. John Dumbleton on October 10, 2012 at 2:29 pm said:

    Happened to be over in Enniskillen last week and so was delighted to be able to catch the gig at the lovely Ardhowen theatre, particularly since I can’t make it to Camden next week. As ever, a delight to hear you sing and play (and talk) in your own personal delightful way. Thought Stephen Macartney complemented you perfectly – (but where’s Brian Grace gone?)
40. Brendan Kerrigan on October 13, 2012 at 5:02 pm said:

    Saw you at the Cluny in Newcastle on Thursday and both myself and my better half really enjoyed the show.
    Have followed you since I saw the reference to one of your albums in a Colin Bateman Book, (can’t remember which – CRAFT moment)

    Best of luck for the future

    Hi Juliet, I was at your show in Armagh theatre 19th January, A thouroughly brilliant show, (As Always) I spoke to you afterwards and asked you if you would be interested in doing an interview with my son Padraig Quigley (Dundalkfm radio) which you very graciously agreed to do… Looking forward to the interview and to seeing you again in the spirit store in April….by the way i just love your cd “people have names” thank you sooh much for the music…..

    Hi Juliet, I went down to Dundalk (Spirit store) to-nite with couple of friends, only to learn your concert had been cancelled due to your dad’s sudden illness.. I’m sooh very sorry Juliet , My thoughts/prayers are with you and i hope to see you very soon
