Music isn’t about fame and fortune or appearing on the telly, nor can it be quantified-some things are simply art for art’s sake.

If you hail from Liverpool, we’ve a saying: ‘You’ll either become a comedian, a footballer, or a musician.’ Well…

Having lost my musical virginity to Elvis at the unfashionable age of ten, my next epiphany arrived at sixteen. Inspired by the spine-tingling songs of a motley crew of dropout hippies, I was determined to possess that same goosebump magic too.

So, on my seventeenth birthday, I joined a commune and spent the next decade travelling the world with a guitar in hand. Like any self-respecting troubadour, I sang for my supper and a place to rest my head- and I’m still happy singing for my supper.

I also perform with both The Frantastics and The Franimals.

‘Frances, why aren’t you number one already?’- Art Garfunkel.

‘The Frantastics, truly Fantastical.’- Richard O’Brien.

‘I like it!’’-Tom Robinson. Musician / BBC Radio Presenter.

‘Sensational, one of 50 great things to discover in London, and keeps them coming back; Country Rock with verve and charm. Crowd-pleasing covers and original numbers such as the bittersweet ‘Fell in Love in a Chatroom’ never fail to please,’ Time Out.
