Any album that effortlessly drops the line
"In there like swimwear"
into a heartfelt Love song, needs to be at number 1.
Fact.

HELP!!
I've lost my guitar!!!
It was left on a train from Portsmouth Harbour to Waterloo. I can't get hold of anyone at Portsmouth harbour station, but think it might be there. Is anyone in the area? Can they run into the station for me?? You will be rewarded.
And there it is folks. Independent Venue Love. 14 venue shows, over £150k raised in total. Extremely grateful, proud, honoured and humbled. One thing to say:
Thank you.
GLASTONBURY!!
Life-changing, yet again!!
So many good gigs, so many good friends.
Hopeful, creative, hedonistic and loving.
Thank you
@glastonbury
from the bottom of my full, full heart.

Hi Folks,
I’m supposed to be here, plugging my new tune and remising about Glasto, but something came up yesterday that I want to address, so here comes a (probably quite long) thread…
Picked up a copy of the brand new
@frankturner
album at my local record shop and I suggest you do the same.
The time has come for Frank to be number 1!!

I’ve worked in and around live music venues my whole adult life, not necessarily on stage. There are lots of pieces to the puzzle of putting on a gig, and without them all there would be no show. We must do whatever it takes to make sure the industry survives.

Here’s a song I wrote about the hospital where my daughter was born
It’s dedicated to all the wonderful staff throughout the NHS
Absolute heroes.

THE VILLAGE DISCO
The first track from my new album is out this week, a song about growing up and growing old.
Inspired by my upcoming 40th
The album was produced by my old friend
@frankturner
and for this video, we both go full-on ‘midlife crisis.’
Video drops 5pm tomorrow
At 3am this morning I finished my new album.
It was made with dear friends in one of the worlds finest recording studios.
Today I go on tour with one of my favourite bands.
I feel like a very lucky human.
This is my Mum and Dad.
They send out all the merch bought on my site.
Beans on Toast is a family business.
They want you to know there is still time to get a copy of the new record, some merch or a book by Christmas if you order before tomorrow night.
THE MOTHER OF ALL FESTIVALS!
As you know Glastonbury holds a very special place in my heart.
Honoured to be invited back to play on the Avalon stage on Saturday afternoon.
If you’re coming, come by.
Big Love

Irresponsible and reckless behaviour!!
That very same crew also managed to get me soundchecked in less than a minute for my show at the 02. A tour record and I would imagine a venue record as well.
Big Love to them all!!

Heads up people of Twitter, someone is pretending to be me on here and messaging people.
Any message from

has nothing to do with me (a sneaky extra ‘s’ in there).
Why someone would want to do this is beyond me. So many other things to do with your day.
