Has Frank vivisted our fine shores since the 2001 carling festival? Well, if he has, I missed him. Internet buddies of mine in the states keep giving me glowing reports of the current tour and I may just burst if i don't get a taster. But he'd better play manchester or somewhere nearby to me. OR I'LL GET CRANKY.
i've been waiting for fb to tour the uk ever since the last albums came out. i am now resigned to the fact that his unlikely to tour until his next album comes out in september. if he tours america again he won't be over here until next year!!! it would be nice if he played small venues and not a festival. i saw him at reading 2001 and although he was amazing i couldn't help thinking that it would have been better in a small club. the atomsphere isn't as good at a big event and fb only said one word to the crowd which was thank you after one of the songs. i concluded that he may have been more interactive had it been a more intimate setting. has he been chating to the crowd in his current tour? i know its not as important as the music but i think it adds to the gig.
I missed him at leeds festival 2 years ago as I discovered him properly shortly afterwards. I've been waiting ever since. So I've decided to grow a beard from now until I see him. As I can't grow a proper beard I look like a complete twat. See what your doing to me Frank!!! :)
i know your reading this frank. why have you deserted us? when are you comming back? if you just give us an idea of when you might come over we will stop moaning and bugging you. I promise that you won't catch SARS, (i'll send you a little mask) although i can't promise you there won't be mad cows.
My understanding is that FB will be in the UK round about June doing press interviews for the upcoming release in September. Also heard there will be a tour of the UK/Europe soon after the release of the album, but there probably won't be any more touring between now and then.
A freind was just listening to the radio tonight (Tues 6th) and swears the DJ just said that FB & C would be back in Dublin soon, fingers crossed, can t seem to find any other info though, if anyone hears anything please keep me informed..he played a great gig in Vicar St a while back but its a small venue so tickets are scarce...
