What others have to say
"The Kirkland Turn are based around the sublime harmonies of Daryl & Katie Kirkland, bringing a pure and sublimely soulful sensibility to perfectly pitched folk gems. Each song sounds as though it’s rightful place is alongside the classics in your CD collection. "

The singer makes the ubiquitous statement that the band has CDs for sale on the front desk, before undercutting himself by adding "and me mum's made some chilli jelly. It's very good, only £2 a jar."
