The Road - Out Now!
What a weekend, what a way to finish off my summer. Kingston and Edinburgh were great, and then Reading and Leeds were simply immense. Biggest shows I've ever played, and they were fantastic. Thanks a million to anyone who made it down for my set. I celebrated in style afterwards (ended up drinking in a hotel bar with Steve Lamacq until about 5am) and am still in recovery now, which seems about right really. I now have a few days to gather my thoughts, do some laundry and so on, before hitting Berlin, then Jersey, then Los Angeles.
The big news this week is that The Road is out now as a download single! For a mere £1.79 you get the song, the video and two exclusive b-sides, which seems like a pretty decent deal to me. So, head to iTunes, 7 Digital and the like, and get shopping! It's exciting that this stuff is actually happening now. The album is out next Monday as well. Exciting times.
More news later this week, when my head stops hurting quite so badly.

Had a great time at Reading and loved your set. Was really surprised to see so many people as I thought I had found something new when I "discovered" you by hearing The Road on Radio One about a month ago. Seems I am very behind the times. Looking forward to the new album and hopefully catching you on tour next month. Feel better soon :)
Well Frank another top weekend and it was nice to see you pulling in more punters than many of the bigger bands. So, main stage next year i think!
ps a bit more vocal volume at Leeds would have been better, needed to hear more Frank! :)
Frank, you're tearing up the iTunes Top 100....Fully Deserved !! Roll on Wolverhampton in October !!!
Agreed, a fantastic end to August - am refusing to say it's the end of the summer just yet! Was good to get two Frank sets for the price of one, and thanks for letting me grab you for an interview afterwards as well (I was the one reminiscing about Reading '95!). Hope to catch another one of your gigs soon.
Awesome at Leeds do - just seen you pulled the surprise acoustic set at Reading, would have been awesome to catch that but nevermind, will have to get my fill in Manc/Wolves in October! Good luck with the single/album launches!
You were amazing at Reading and I met you afterwards in the signing tent! I wish I had seen you play on the introducing stage though, sounded good! Thank you for playing!
hey you were immense this year and last year at reading (crazy how much the crowd had grown)
i was the crazy redhead who ran up to you after you'd been signing- for a cuddle!
Thank you so much for making reading for me!
See you on tour in October :)
you were absolutely amazing at Reading, and meeting you in the signing tent after was great too. made my weekend.
thank you :)

I was so hyped up to see you at Reading and you did not disapoint :) Even better was that after seeing you in the NME tent and hitting the bar, me and my mates were wandering back to the main stage when we stumbled over your set on the introducing stage!! Was AWESOME!!
Loving your music and cant wait to hear your new album!
Hopefuly make it to a Bristol/Nottingham gig but you should consider playing Cornwall....pleeeaaase?!
:) xx
You were beaaaautiful at Reading. I didn't actually know 'who you were' but I friend took me along and I was very happily surprised to find out I knew a lot of your stuff! Was the best set I saw all weekend.
I spent the entire drive home hoping they would play The Road on Radio 1. Alas, they did not so I guess I'll just have to go get the single!
Also. Manchester? SOLD OUT? ALREADY? How unfair is that! More gigs please.
What an amazing weekend, thanks! Brought along both my sisters so they could realise just how great you are, now 2 more Frank converts! Already bought the single, the video's great, and yes, what a bargain! Missed out on Winchester but I'll see you in London, looking forward to the new album :oD
dude, you were totally amazing at leeds fest, probably the best gig i saw during the weekend if i'm going to be honest. dont know if you remember, i was the geezer with the blue face you signed an autograph for me :) (oxfam got me!)
good luck with the album and the new single.
I just can't wait for the new album :) my preorder at xtramiles doesn't seem to go so well though. the guys just don't seem to read their emails.. or is there a special thing you have to do to come through to them? ;) however, hope it will work out, I don't want to have it one day later than I could ;)
Hai guys!
This is great new people...you can now download it for free and take a free preview at the album! www.musicpreviews.com
Bought! And HMV have just shipped the album to me, ace. Looking forward to it!
Hi Frank
I have to be honest and admit that I was only in the Radio One tent at Reading during your set waiting for Metronomy to come on after but wow, your set was amazing. I didn't think I would come away from Reading with a set of an artist that I had never heard of before being one of my favourites, but yours definately came in to my top 5 for the whole weekend. When I got home on Monday, I downloaded your album almost straight away (from iTunes, paid for! - I agree with all your points about the music downloading too by the way) and have been listening to it non-stop ever since. Especially 'Long Live The Queen'. An amazing song.. keep up the good work. Hope to see you soon again at one of your own gigs. Your music just makes me smile.

Frank, there's a little pic of you on the front page of iTunes! Near Whitney Houston.
you were my Reading festival highlight and you deserve a place on the main stage. can you play glasto next year too please? pretty please?
Frank! Saw you at Reading, you were AMAZING, highlight of my summer no doubt. Slightly bigger crowd than when i last saw you at The Flowerpot!! Definitely Mainstage next year :)

Hey Frank! I also saw you at Reading (both of your sets!!) and just wanted to let you know i thought you were AMAZING! Both times I heard you sing 'long live the queen' I actually welled up (quite embarassing!) I also dragged one of my friends along and she's a newly converted fan too! See you at your nottingham gig, keep up the good work, you're a legend! x
You were amazing at Reading as has been said! And always good to hear you do Dancing Queen again :D. Loving the album.
