Self proclaimed international crime fighter and skinny half-arsed English country singer Frank Turner is headed our way in May for a run of shows and was nice enough to take 5 with Cool Accidents to let us know what he’s looking forward to most about the upcoming visit -
- Bringing my band to Australia - it’s my third visit down under, but it’s the first time I’ve been able to bring my band (the Sleeping Souls) with me, and they’re very much part of the full experience.
- Playing shows with Will Whitmore. Will and I have covered some ground together before and he’s a great guy, a road warrior, an old soul. It’s always a pleasure sharing a stage with him.
- Some decent weather. I know it’s coming up for Winter for you guys, but it’s still nicer than it will be in England.
- Seeing more of the country. I’ve been to the metro areas before, but this time I’m hitting the Northern Territories, Townsville and so on. I always like going to new places, especially when they’re further afield and off the beaten track.
- Getting drunk with Jen Buxton. She’s the best.
