The tour takes them to the Spirit Store, Dundalk (December 2); Dolan’s, Limerick (3); Left Bank, Sligo (15); Whelan’s, Dublin (16); Stables, Mullingar (17); and Anix, Oldcastle (30).

“My God it sounds good!” says singer of Ollie Cole of the rehearsals that have been going on this week. “Gav was just meant to play those songs. It’s so nice the three of us together again, and just before we start playing the UK. Perfect!

“It’s funny how it has even affected some of the new songs,” he continues. “He’s a hard hitting gunslinger and solid as fuck.”

It remains to be see whether the arrangement becomes permanent, with Fox re-joining his Idlewild bandmates on December 22 for a show in the Glasgow Barrowlands.

Stop

The first thing that strikes you about ‘Stop’ is its complete lack of balls. There was a time when Turn were well on their way to becoming the best rock band this country has produced since Whipping Boy. However, the days of tracks like ‘Face Down’ and ‘Beeswax’ are seemingly over. Given the snip, ‘Stop’ is a slice of radio friendly day-time pop very much in the vein of Snow Patrol. There’s even East 17-style Christmas glistenings at the track’s close. Far from their best work.

Turn

It’s their safest record to date, yet also their most rounded with Cole delivering an unfaltering run of fine songs that suit the poppy presentation down to the ground.
