"Fiery Scottish vocalist Frankie Miller is one of the legends of the British music scene, with a powerful voice that has drawn numerous comparisons. His distinctive voice and song writing ability have earned him the respect of his peers and that is reflected in the number of world-renowned artists, including Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Cher, The Everly Brothers and Ray Charles, who have covered his songs.
Frankie enjoyed a full career that took him round the globe and saw him sing and write for the very best in the music biz and score hits in the States with songs like “Ain’t Got No Money” and co write the rock ballad anthem “Still In Love with You” for Thin Lizzy.
Sadly due to ill health Frankie can no longer tour, but his former band are generating funds for him with a series of one off shows.
Back in 1976 Frankie had returned to the UK after recording on Alkatraz Island in San Francisco to put together his new “Full House”. The result was a year of hard graft on the road beginning with a 50 date UK tour, kicking off in May 1976 and finishing with a triumphant show at London’s Victoria Palace on 27th June. Frankie had featured Ray Imminent on lead guitar and recordings for the ” Full House” album began in November 1976 and combined Miller originals with choice covers including John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy” which Frankie sings with great feeling and a first ever UK chart single - Andy Fraser’s “Be Good to Yourself”.

Venue:

Northolt UB5 4LA

Nearest underground: Sudbury Hill, Northolt

Train: Northolt Park

If you click on the above link and go to the promoter's web site you can pre-register a ticket and make a £2.00 saving (it all helps - no booking fee or cc details required either). Some of you will realise that this is the same promoter that runs the gigs at Sutton Boom Boom Club various other venues in and around London.
A few words about The Greenwood, this new venue is a veritable palace of a pub with a large, 1930's period art deco hall (250+ capacity) and proper stage at one end. It is a seriously nice hall that actually gets regularly hired out to film & TV companies, e.g. "Foyles War" etc. The bar prices are also somewhat cheaper than central London as well. With a great in-house Engineer and PA the sound should be excellent.
This is my local venue so anyone requiring any help with travel arrangements etc, please don't hesitate to ask.
A free drink to any forum member (I'll be the one wearing the black T-shirt)...
Both band and venue appreciate your support.
Looking forward to it!
Best regards,
Mole Man
