I new Frank from the late sixties until I left Liverpool in 1977 but met up with him many times latter at Whitby Folk week. He was a superb singer and a real gentleman always willing to listen to what you had to say and give advice and encouragement. I used to be involved with the running of Adrian House in Alexandra drive and the Kings Shilling were one of our regular supporters. I didn't know of Frank's death until Clive & Jean told me here at Whitby. I went to the memorial at the Elsinore and to answer an earlier poster we did sing "Down in The Valley to Pray" lead by Clive. I wanted to sing the "Greenland Whale Fishery", which I learnt from Fank at the Maritime session following the memorial at the Elsinore but Jim Mageean sang at the start of the session - anyway I doubt if I could have got through it without breaking up. BTW Sara was at the Elsinore and repested her statement that she thought Frank was the most underrated singer in England and I for one would agree.
