Keep an eye on The Blue Walrus if you’re a Frank Turner fan – we’ll be reviewing the new album, reviewing a date from the tour and interviewing the man himself later on in the year!
He is an immense live performer and certainly looked forward to reading your interview with him. A very caustic, entertaining individual.
You’re absolutely right – he is an immense live performer! I found him really down to earth when I saw him, too :-).
Are you seeing him on this year’s tour?
