Frankie & The Heartstrings Announce November / December Tour

• 21st Oct 2009

Frankie & The Heartstrings are a brand new old-fashioned pop band from Sunderland. Coming fully formed out of the north-east, the five-piece played their first gig last Christmas and have been grafting solidly for a year, writing and rehearsing at night, holding down full-time jobs working in schools, social care and charity shops during the day.

They say that art thrives in the face of adversity, and in a town like Sunderland where the young would rather cross fists than swap mixtapes, Frankie & The Heartstrings are soul-brothers, the dreamers who dared to think big.
