To coincide with Record Store Day on 21st April Frank has also released a specially limited edition 7’ vinyl of his new AA single ‘I Still Believe’ and ‘Somebody To Love’.
Frank Turner has had an exceptional couple of years; a huge sold out 2011 UK tour culminating at Hammersmith Apollo, Main Stage sets at Reading and Leeds, winning two AIM Awards for Best Live Act and Hardest Working Act, a top 12 album ‘England Keep My Bones’ and his biggest headline show at Wembley Arena.
This year also saw general release of Frank’s ‘Second Three Years’ - a collection of live tracks, sessions, cover versions, b-sides and lost songs from the past three years. The collection features live recordings of the traditional folk song ‘Barbara Allen’ from Shepherd’s Bush and the show-stopping ‘Father’s Day’ from Union Chapel both in 2009; covers versions of Springsteen, Nirvana, NOFX and Flanders & Swann to name a few as well as session tracks from Radio 1 and the bonus tracks featured on the limited deluxe edition of ‘England Keep My Bones’.
Incredibly limited double AA sided coloured vinyl 7" featuring A: I Still Believe and AA: Somebody To Love available only on RECORD STORE DAY 21st April. Available digitally from 30th April (both on Xtra Mile Recordings).
This new tour see Frank go to all corners of the UK, with special guests to be announced soon. It’s going to be a corker!
