OK, let me try and tempt you to come to a memorable gig like no other. If you’ve never heard of Frank Sidebottom and live in the Manchester area then I have a gig to recommend to you.

Before I waffle on here are 2 mp3s of his:
1. Twist and Shout (beatles cover)
2. Paul Mcartney Writes a Dead Good Song

For more visit Frank’s MySpace page or his own website

If you like what you just heard and you fancy seeing him play live see below for details:
