Well I just bought my ticket to the San Fran Wellington gig on April 2nd. See you there!

Cheers,
Urs.

I notice you're going to be at Bluesfest in NSW in April 2020. Any chance you'd be able to fit in some NZ gigs around that time, since you're going to be in our part of the world?

Cheers,
Urs.

Cheers Frank, I've just pre-ordered the book. Looking forward to reading it!

Hey Frank, how long did it take you to write "Broken Piano"? Because I'm looking at things like the repeated s-s-b assonance pattern in the chorus (sat down, sadness, beneath; sad songs, broken; sinner, saved, banks) and the internal rhyming structure of the verses, and thinking "that can't be a coi...

Heya! I'm Urs from Wellington, NZ.

I got into Frank's music after a friend gave me a mixtape with "Four Simple Words" included on it, and then managed to catch his solo show at San Fran about a week ago. Truly excellent stuff.

Cheers!
