Frank Turner

I had the pleasure of sitting in on Frank Turner recording a set for radio this afternoon. Formerly of Million Dead, Frank's sound has moved towards folk & country since going it alone. When watching Frank play, it is clear he's passionate about writing songs and playing music. It is this passion which flows in to the songs and makes them the masterpieces they are. Below is the video for 'The Real Damage', which is out on Monday.

I couldn't write a post on Frank without mentioning this song. Below is a live version of 'Thatcher Fucked the Kids'.



Anyone who has known me for more than a week has probably had to listen to a rant about Margaret Thatcher at some point. The lyric "blame the folks who sold the future for the highest bid, that's right, Thatcher fucked the kids" perfectly summarises my feelings on the iron lady.

The set will be broadcast on 2 Hours BC, on LCR next Wednesday at 9pm. You can listen to the radio station live here or on 1350am.
