ESSENTIAL LEEDS – FRANK TURNER

With the hardy thousands arriving at Leeds (and Reading) 2010 in their droves we’re getting very excited indeed at the prospect of one of the rockiest line-ups for years.

For the last two weeks we’ve been urging you to check out this year’s must-see (in our opinion) acts and today we turn the spotlight on Frank Turner.
