Frank Turner is a successful, internationally charting, award-winning singer and songwriter of consequential folk-punk-pop rebel songs.
His music covers topics like atheism, sexism, excessive drinking, and the power of rock & roll.
Originally a member of the punk band Million Dead, Frank went solo in 2005. He was released 8 albums, 4 compilations, 1 best of and 5 E. P’s. He has sold out Wembley arena, played over 2500 shows, including the London 2012 Olympic ceremony and now he’s added The Proper Mental Podcast to that impressive list!
I cannot thank Frank enough for his time and his honesty! We chat about mental health and rock n roll, looking after yourself on tour, writing about tough subjects and the importance of doing things for other people.
Frank was also very open about his own issues with substance abuse and his experience with CBT therapy.
As a long-time fan of Frank and his music, this was a very special and surreal moment for me and luckily, Frank was lovely!
