Yeah, Turn are class. The ‘mightily over-rated’ Frames should be supporting them, not the other way round.

Also, Turn are supporting the God-awful Aslan at the Point. Just goes to show how shit the Irish music industry is when a band as crap as Aslan can get away with playing in the Point. Only in Dublin would that shit happen. They played a small pub in Clonmel (my town) lately, and I wasn’t arsed to go to it. A pub to the Point? What’s going on… What’s wrong with Dublin people? “Christy Dignam is God, boy” etc…

Another travesty is the fact that Turn are supporting them. Surely they didn’t have to? By the way, did you catch their Witnness gig on 2FM last week? Deadly buzz…

I go on that site everyday. And it’s only when you mentioned names that I thought “is there a message board there?” - low and behold, there IS one! How fuckin thick am I? How long has it been there?

Don’t suppose you’ve any of those acoustic tracks that Ollie’s always playing on FM104 or Phantom, do you? It pisses me off that I know nobody in Dublin who could tape them for me.

I’ve all their releases (including all the vinyls) but I’d love to get some bootlegs or those radio things. Only seen them the once, that was supporting Wilt before the Check Your Ears EP came out. I remember Muse were supposed to play but pulled out. Turn became scapegoats cos they were the replacements. I thought they were cool though.

Cool man, sounds great. All I can offer is that Witnness gig, not much I know (it is on CD though).

I do have loadsa Therapy? stuff, if that tickles your fancy!

TO KYRA: Look out for TURN supporting the Frames… i’m not sure but there might be a Frames gig in London sometime in the near future…
So What do you think of these disgusting roumers about Gavin leaving TURN? Also, is your name Canadian???

Title: To Canadian Kyra (!)

There was alot of reports in Hot Press (Irish Music Mag) bout him leaving but there hasnt been any substancial evidence to suggest a break up or anything bout Gav leaving… if he does leave it will most likely be to Idlewild
As regards your name… well a buddy of mine spells her name the same as you and her Grand Father (who is Canadian in origin) was the one who is responsible for her name sake…
I’ll try keeping you posted bout TURN gigs, in the meantime try http://www.turn.ie and post a message to “Terry” or “JJ” they always seem to have more answers than me!!! Or else you could E-mail turn@indigo.net (i think thats the address) ENJOY and Rock On!

AND BECOME AMERICA JUNIOR????? Surely not!!! Do you think Therapy would have emerged if they grew uo in Vancoover or Calgery?

Ohh i know. They get very insulted. My brother in law is Canadian (He’s big huge lumber jack) Having said that, any Yank/Canadian i have ever met thinks i’m Provo who knows where the faries treasure is hidden… And they say we are Sterotypical??? Are they aware of the on-suing dubble standard they place upon us… *getting carried away now, sorry, its an emotional day*

Yeah, it’s true, Gavin’s leaving. His last gig will be New Years Eve at the TBMC in Dublin.

TURN won’t be splitting up though, as they have an album called “Forward” coming out in February.

they could have gone for graham hopkins instead. i think they know each other, don’t they?

i personally can’t wait to see gavin playing with the ‘wild boys next year, although i kinda got used to their current bass player, a certain alex who’s a technician of theirs. he’s pretty cool. i’m sorry to say that they sound a lot better without bob fairfull.
