Born Healer

Helen Turner, on vocals, from Glasgow, Scotland, is "the real deal" according to Classic Rock magazine, "brilliant" and "in a different class" according to Classic Rock: The Blues, and simply "wonderful" according to Blues Matters. In 2023, Helen was nominated for the UK Blues Federation best vocalist award. Beautiful vocals on record and even better live.

Iain Black, on guitar, and main songwriter, has long been Helen's musical partner. They were founder members of British blues scene regulars, the Bare Bones Boogie Band, and had one of Classic Rock:The Blues magazine's albums of the year. Helen and Iain are both past British Blues Award nominees.

Marek Funkas, on bass, hooked up with Helen and Iain to form Born Healer in 2015, and things immediately clicked! Marek is an award-winning and in-demand musician. He is an award-winning and in-demand London musician, has played with major international touring artists in major venues, and also performs and writes with his own band, Laba.

Steve Weaver, on drums, joined Born Healer in January 2019 and fitted in super quickly to the Born Healer family. Steve brings a wealth of live performance experience and a real spark and energy to live shows. He even fronts his own AC/DC tribute band!

(Andy Jones played drums in Born Healer from the start 'til 2019. We wish Andy all the best).
