Peter James Turner (born 28 August 1974)[1] is a British musician and songwriter who has been the bassist for the rock band Elbow since the group's formation.
Turner was one of the three embryonic founders of what would later become Elbow, as he had formed a band named RPM with future Elbow members Richard Jupp and Mark Potter. Turner befriended future Elbow frontman Guy Garvey at Bury College and the latter later joined RPM in 1991, triggering a band name change to Mr. Soft, and eventually later on first to just Soft and finally to Elbow in 1997.[6][7][8]
Sometime in the 2000s, Turner relocated from Bury to Manchester's city centre, and then moved again to the suburban area of Chorlton in Manchester's southern half in 2008.[8]
