At the moment it would seem that Frank's popularity is growing on a daily basis. At some point, seemingly overnight, Frank has gone from playing tiny bars to selling out 600 - 900 capacity venues on his current tour, in support of new album Poetry Of The Deed. His spring '10 tour has just gone on sale taking in the 1-4000 capacity venues.

But of course Frank hasn't been an overnight success. For the past few years he's being building and building his loyal fanbase. His new commercial success is down to hard work and is well deserved.

Frank's sold out show at Glasgow's QMU sees him perform a lengthy setlist taking in a large chunk of the new album and many older tracks, which tonight get the largest crowd reaction.

From the opening track of Live Fast Die Old to the last, of crowd singalong Photosynthesis, Frank gives every song 150%. His live show is filled with passion and an infectious energy.
