Ruby Turner

Widely regarded as one of the UK's finest soul singers, Ruby Turner's career to date has had many unexpected twists and turns with major tours, theatre and TV appearances, and touring with Jools Holland, the future continues to look positive. She performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert in 2012, was a guest judge on BBC show The Choir: Sing While You Work with choirmaster Gareth Malone, and in 2013 was a guest judge on BBC Songs Of Praise gospel choirs competition.

Her major break came in the mid-1980s, when she was asked to join Culture Club at the height of their stardom. Ruby very quickly learned how to deal with regular touring and performing to vast sell-out audiences. Several critically acclaimed albums later, and Ruby has become a household name.
