Simon Turner (born 21 November 1954) is an English musician, songwriter, composer, producer and actor. After portraying Ned East in the 1971 BBC TV adaptation of Tom Brown's Schooldays and roles in films such as The Big Sleep (1978), Dover-born Simon Turner quickly rose to fame as a teenage star in Britain thanks to his mentor Jonathan King who released his first album Simon Turner in 1973 on UK Records. Turner was a member of the Gadget and also joined The The for a period of two years.
Like many of Jarman's films, Garden is less a narrative construct than a loosely connected series of images revolving around several themes (here a possible Madonna - the religious kind - figure and a harassed gay couple), with very little dialogue. Thus, the soundtrack takes on an enormous importance, becoming essentially, a central character in the movie. Turner's style - wafting; Eno-esque; willing to incorporate all manner of found sounds and conversation; redolent with bittersweet nostalgia, yet capable of unflinching, harsh realism - fits Jarman perfectly.
