Home - the one word that sums up how this band feels about Bloodstock Open Air.  It is the place where the whole Turin family are as one.  Ever since we played in 2013, we have been aching to get back on stage in the fields of Catton Halls.  Time for service to resume.  Time for necks to snap.  See you in August.  Hail" Darryl Jones - vocals.
