If you dare challenge me to a game of table football prepare to lose.

I'm an upbeat, happy lil lassy with a passion for music!
I'm a professional violinist.
I cannot live without my lipbalm, my violin and have to have grated cheese on top of everything.. Now that I've graduated from Uni, I'm persuing the dream of being a pro musician.. I have a few projects on the go and am looking for more!
With years of performance and recording studio experience, Lesley-Marie ("Loughborough University's Music Scholar for Most Outstanding Musical Talent") is an asset to anything musical or music-related. Her high-level violin playing as well as her unique and flexible style makes her ideal for employing as a session musician for strings/violin recording. She will also bring along fun, laughter, sweets and goodies, and fresh ideas for the track she is performing on.
For a full Biog, please go to www.lesleyturner.co.uk
Due to Lesley's wide involvement with bands, her style of playing is very flexible, ranging from folk/jigs/reels and ballads, to more edgy country folk-rock, classical and grand layered strings and alternative anthemic new-wave pop.
Her classical training from a young age has given her the technique to be able to fulfill any brief she is given.
Other instruments she brings to the table are Tin Whistle, Mandolin, Keys/Piano, Glockenspiel, Melodica and Vocals.
Lesley-Marie works as a self-employed musician.
She can be booked as a string composer, teacher, session musician and/or live performer for functions/parties - contact her via myspace or check out www.lesleyturner.co.uk
She is a full-time member of Folk/Pop band THE MUSGRAVES: www.myspace.com/themusgraves
She has done session work for Duels, Liam Scott-Smith and most recently The Lodger.
She is currently working with established Yorkshire ceilidh band The Hayriders.

Thank you for adding us and for the kind words. I'm sure we'll be back in Hull again in the not too distant future....possibly for our tour early next year.
I know! Can't wait for the Everything Everything gig. To be fair I've not heard loads of their stuff but I think Suffragette Suffragette is an incredible song. Be good to see how they do things live. The tour support sound pretty cool as well - Findo Gask. How are things with you? Keeping busy?
Hey Lesley! Sorry for the lameness in replying... was wicked to see you guys at The Troubadour. So nice to be playing with a decent band for once! Was certainly a good atmosphere in the place.
Glad you liked I Change... it's one we've not been too sure about but a lot of people seem to latch onto it so that's cool. Very glad you guys played 'I Only Want You Now You Left Me' and I love 'Fortune Teller'.
Never mind "I heart CHIPS", I heart meatballs and spagetti. That was awesome! Make sure you let us know when you're playing in these parts again (Cov/Leam/Birmingham).
