Interview - Frank Turner

Interesting fact: the world record for most gigs in different cities in one day is currently held by American singer-songwriter Hunter Hayes, who travelled across the state of New England on May 10th 2014 to hit the milestone over 24 hours.

As you may have read in the press this week, next month our very own Frank Turner is going to attempt to smash that record, with 15 shows across England on May 4th to 5th (fortunately, for him and the punters, the next Bank Holiday). When speaking to CLASH last week, it’s fair to say the musician has mixed feelings about the prospect.

“It’s going to be an horrendous fucking nightmare, but it was my idea and therefore it’s my fault, goddammit.”

“It’s worth noting I did 24 shows n 24 hours once, but that was all in London and the current record is 10 shows in different cities,” he explains. “Free Now – the cab company – are helping out and providing transport which is very good of them. They do a lot of work for the Music Venue Trust as well, which is great.”
