Frank Turner has announced details of his upcoming 1000th gig. Here’s the necessary info, straight from the man’s blog:
“A lot of people have noticed that there isn’t a London show on the tour in May. A lot of people have also noticed that I’m coming up now for my 1000th gig (seriously, I am incapable of pronouncing that word – thousandth – it makes me feel like a French exchange student). It is, I suppose, quite the milestone. I have to say I was slightly at a loss as to how to mark the occasion, but then an idea was suggested by my good friend Jay, who does stuff with Strummerville, the charity foundation set up by friends and family of the late Mr Strummer. They do a spring sessions show every year, with the proceeds going to good causes. Herein lies a great idea – I play, everyone gets to come, and we raise money for worthwhile people. Win, win and indeed win.
So! April 21st this year I’ll be playing the Strummerville Spring Sessions at Hearn Street Carpark in East London. You can get tickets and more information right here. It will be my 1000th gig, and I guess I’ll be marking the occasion with an extra dollop of live awesomeness. See you there.”
