Billy Franks is a Legend. Its a massive shame the music industry in the UK has not recognised him allowing additional exposure that the young guys around today can connect with. His music, his lyrics and style are encapsualted in Eventide, a song which means so much to me personnaly. Thank you emimusic for uploading a true 80's classic, little known song from a little known band but that does not mean they are insignificant. you can keep your x factor and x box's class is timeless.
I had the pleasure of knowing Billy and directing this video for the Faith Brothers. An incredible songwriting talent and a lovely guy. R.I.P. Billy Franks you will be sorely missed x
Just found this little gem in my old 7" vinyl box... and still lovin it in 2020!!! Saw them supporting the Alarm in Manchester in 86 i think... reminded me of a young Paul Weller at the time.. great band... great singer... fine lyrics...
saw the faith brothers supporting the alarm at the hammersmith palais somewhere between '84 and '85... thought they were going to be huge, shame they weren't. still have a 10" vinyl of this
Terrible news about Billy. Saw the Faith Brothers supporting the Wayerboys mid 80s Brum...went out the following day & bought their first album. Brilliant songwriter.
