Turning Plates is a unique group of musicians based in Glasgow who came together with a determination to introduce fresh textures and create new soundscapes within contemporary music.
Their distinct and individual sound is a culmination of each member's diverse musical background, ranging from classically trained orchestral professionals through to alternative rock and jazz players. These influences are felt throughout the music - instruments such as cello, clarinet and trombone fuse with guitar, drums and synthesizers to create songs that have been described as "Beautifully chaotic at some parts and then soulfully delicate at others" (isthismusic.com).
Since the formation of Turning Plates in 2011 their releases have garnered critical acclaim. Their first single 'The Tin Man' won Playmusic Magazine's Award for Best Production of 2011 and their EP 'Escapism' was listed as Number 13 in The Herald's Top 50 Albums of 2012.
