Sometime last year, ChrisC bought a copy of England Keep My Bones. Gosh, I thought, this new Frank Turner chap is quite interesting, I wonder if perchance he may be playing a small gig nearby?
Unfortunately, it seems my musical radar has been broken for some time, and Frank Turner has been operating well beneath it. For about a decade. Playing the pubs and street corners of London, and here am I catching onto the game shortly before he advertises a headlining show. At Wembley Arena.
( Frank Turner, Billy Bragg, Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, and Beans on Toast @ Wembley Arena )
As we wandered home, ChrisC proposed it as an early contender for gig of the year. And we considered the opposition. And, er, we realised that in a very literal sense it is indeed the gig of the year for us so far. What the blithering Margaret are we playing at? Must see more bands.
