Steve Turner (2)

Steve Turner comes from a family of concertina players and singers and began his career on the Manchester folk scene at the end of the 1960s, playing and touring as a member of Geordie band "Canny Fettle", then nationally and internationally throughout the 80's as a solo performer. As well as the concertina he also accompanies himself on the cittern, mandolin and banjo. After a thirteen year break, building up an internationally renown stringed instrument business, he made a welcome return to performing in folk clubs and festivals in 2005.

In a recent interview Nancy Kerr was asked "what was the best gig you ever saw?" to which she replied "the best spot I've seen recently was Steve Turner - total intensive musical focus and a vast repertoire."
