Frank Turner - Positive Songs For Negative People


Frank Turner is an inspiration to any musician scraping around the toilet venues of the land that hard work, dedication and the ability to make a connection with people can take them from such humble surroundings to the festival stages and arenas of the country. He's back with an album Positive Songs For Negative People that is both sure to delight his already avid army of fans but appeal and reach more with his direct approach, lack of pretension and the uplifting mood of this album.
