Juliet Turner

Juliet Turner is a Northern Irish singer/songwriter. She comes from Tummery, near Omagh, Co. Tyrone, and has been a part of the Dublin music scene since she started recording in 1996. In the course of her career she has opened for such artists as Bob Dylan, U2 and Bryan Adams. Turner also sang on two tracks of Peter Mulvey's live album Glencree.

In August 1998, Turner sang the song "Broken Things" (originally released by American Julie Miller) to a packed audience at the memorial concert for the victims of the Omagh bombing. She ruled out releasing the song as a single, although it did subsequently appear on the compilation "Across The Bridge Of Hope".
