Love Is Strange: Life Love & Music

‘Love is strange’ was the first record that Phil Turner ever bought. It’s title is a poignant starting point for a tale of a man who charts life’s ups and downs not with the aid of the family album, but with his album collection. From pre-indie days at Manchester University gigs and onto the power and the glory that is U2 in concert (even at Blackpool Catering College) Phil reminisces about his lost loves, his misplaced innocence and wonders how a struggling singer-songwriter manages to keep up payments on his pension plan. Love is Strange: Everyman’s journey to the present.
