Following the announcement that Frank Turner will be playing the MAIN STAGE at Reading and Leeds Festival this year – a sneak preview of his forthcoming album ‘England Keep My Bones‘ can now be found on his website. The album track ‘I Am Disappeared’ can be heard on www.youtube.com/user/frankturner – it is a great taster for what is to follow this summer.

Following soon after will be the track ‘Peggy Sang The Blues’ and then the album will be released on 6th June on Xtra Mile Recordings (7th June on Epitaph Records worldwide)

It is a beautiful and bold folk/rock record – with stunning arrangements, incredible lyrics and catchy hooks. A perfect showcase of Frank’s enormous songwriting talent.

More information on all of that to be unveiled very soon.

Before that though Frank will be playing his 1000th show in April. 1000 shows since 18th September 2004. This rather staggering event will take place at the Strummerville Spring Session gig on 21st April at Hearn Street Car Park in East London. It will be a real celebration of Frank’s prolific work ethic whilst raising money and awareness for a great cause.

He then heads out on his own tour in May for a special solo jaunt round the UK – all dates of which are now completely sold out.

The summer will also see him HEADLINING the third stage at DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL on 12th June and HEADLINING BLISSFIELDS FESTIVAL on 1st July
