Thanks Ariadne - yes I knew but didn't watch - too busy rushing around as usual. I hope it went well! He's such a great guy.  He did wake me up this morning though - well, to be fair, it wasn't actually him but his latest single being played on Radio 1!  A bit of life story here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vbDpQ8iPuI

I didn't have time to hear him play at the end of the program but he came across as a lovely guy. He said his mum was going to kill him when she spotted his new knuckle tattoos.

She's a brilliant mum. When he played Wembley Arena last April - sell out show - he got her up on stage to play the harmonica. He didn't warn her before hand! Cool lady in front of around 12,000 people!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv33WT8JAVE.

I've never heard of him. I'll google him, just so I'll know who he is.

Forgot to update... album charted at No.2! Couldn't shift Michael Buble unfortunately but one better than Will.I.Am!! Frank is amazed and thinks the world has gone mad.

I am sure he would be fine with flowers. Not sure what next. He has gone from this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alep2ejNuTs which was when he first became friends with my son to this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs6Yw5mU0PY no forgetting the olympics of course http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XzvenMI2S8 and still his dad is not pleased with his choice of career!

His Dad should be so proud.  Perhaps he is tripping over his own ego and is jealous of his extremely talented son.  Also a son who is a very compassionate human being.

This interview from a few years back gives the story of Frank's dad and his "double life". http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/music/frank-turner-from-punk-rocker-to-selftaught-troubadour-6704135.html

This is the song he wrote for his dad - very poignant lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzZh8zxK7fs
