Turn formed in 1998 when lead singer/guitarist Ollie Cole and drummer Ian Melady joined forces with Dublin bass player Gavin Fox, whom they met at a local recording studio.
[1] Through frantic gigging and the release of a few choice 7" singles, Turn started to earn a name for themselves and soon found themselves signed to Infectious Records.
Infectious, however, were not too interested in releasing any singles from the album and Turn soon found themselves in record company limbo once again.
[3] Fox's place was filled by ex-Skindive bassist Alan Lee and recording continued for Turn's second album Forward which was released in May 2003.
More bass trouble hit when Alan Lee left and Ollie Cole held open auditions in Dublin for a new bassist.
[5] In August 2012, Ollie Cole announced on his Facebook page that he, along with Gavin Fox, Ian Melady and Ciaran Kavanagh had been rehearsing, and would be performing as Turn for the first time in more than five years at the Electric Picnic in Stradbally, County Laois.
