My wife (Maggie Bowers) & I knew frank well in Liverpool in the late sixties & early seventies & he was often a guest at the Old Fort in Prescott Street. We were regulars at the Custom House & always looked to Frank to lead off the sessions.I think that at one time he formed a group with John Kelly called the Wakes, and it was a standing joke to ask him "Are you awake"
Although we now live at the other end of the country, we still have a lot of contact with John who was a member of Kings Shilling with him and know he would wish us to pass on condolences.
Frank was a great guy and will be missed.
Condolences to his family
