Frank Turner: “I’m a big fan of the road, so this trip has me jealous, but much more importantly, this is an amazing project to raise money for some of the best causes out there. Get involved!”
Frank Turner is a living legend – think front cover of NME Magazine and Kerrang. He headlined the Radio 1 stage at Reading Festival and has played in front of audiences of 50,000 plus in the US this year. He really has done it all and has a massive following.
