Pierce Turner (born 1956) is an Irish singer-songwriter. Turner grew up in the port town of Wexford, where his mother ran a record shop and led her own band. Like all his siblings he was classically trained, and his fondest early memories are of singing in the annual plainchant festival. By age seven, he was a member of a traditional Irish tin-whistle group, and at eight, he was playing in a brass and reed orchestra. His first professional job was as a musician with the pop showband The Arrows
