Stuart Turner

About Me

Stuart was brought up miles from the nearest lampost, deep in the Dorset countryside, but now lives in the urban sprawl of the Medway towns in north Kent. He isn't an angry person, but sometimes he might sound it. Stuart was once described as being "like a young Howling Wolf stuck in the body of a pasty ginger kid!", and while this isn't quite true it's something to aspire to. This is blues for singer-songwriters, songs for blues singers. His first solo album 'A Gallon of Water Makes A Mile of Fog' was released on Sun Pier Records, (distributed through Cargo Records) on October 2007. The album is available through Amazon, Play and HMV on-line, (on cd only). Downloads are available at.... A second album 'File Under Carnal Knowledge' was released in Febuary 2009, also through Sun Pier Records, and is available from all the same places. A third more band based album is under construction.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
