It's a different sort of episode this week. No interview. No music. Just some words I needed to say about Dave Harper from Frankie & The Heartstrings, a man I have known/liked/loved/battled/danced/laughed and plotted with for 23 years. And one of the most important figures in the history of my beloved Sunderland music scene.
If listening isn't your thing, I wrote some words about Dave here. I'll be back next week with a more regular episode.
If you can, please support this crowdfunder set up by Dave's bandmates with a view to supporting his beloved wife, Ruth, and son, Sonny.
