A few Frank words

THIS unembarrassed young person is the electropop musician Vincent Frank, better known as Frankmusik (and formerly as Mr Mouth).

His Wikipedia entry gives his date of birth as 9 October 1985 and says he attended CH.

Now, there is an Old Blue born on that day whose first name is Vincent: he was in Maine A and Grecians East from 1997 to 2004. His surname (which I promise not to mention here without his permission) wasn't Frank, but this blog will work on the assumption that they're one and the same.


So…

• Recently Frankmusik did a twelve-day Scotland-to-London "Live and Lost" tour, relying solely on supporters of his MySpace page (where you can hear several of his tracks).

• He featured on the long-list of the BBC's "Sound of 2009" poll.

• His first album is appearing in July.

• His website is here.

• This is an interview from the end of last year.

Clearly a man to watch.

And yes, the title is a gratuitous retro allusion. From 1968 to 1981 the editorial in the Old Blues' section of The Blue was always called "A Few Frank Words", in reference to its fearsome old pirate of an editor, Frank Smith (Ma A 19-26).
