Rosehill Theatre and Francis Dunnery is back with friends old and new to
perform to his 'Hometown' . Frank's music is so enthralling and
personal
it touches you where others cannot . Dori Jackson on backing vocals
enhances his unique sound as she accompanied him with the same rich dulcet
tones of Karen Carpenter and is currently recording an album of her own on
Franks record label Aquarian Nation. I cannot express how Frank's lyrics
and music draw you in on such a personal level and his playing the guitar
is such a part of him you'd think he was born with it in his hands.
All his family gathered to pay tribute to a man who they are so proud
of and have supported through the years as well as those who follow in his
footsteps as his nephew John Dunnery has of 'John and Wayne'. They also
performed and write in a similar way to Frank which are songs about their
experiences and had the audience laughing at their stories of being on the
road! 'Coulda killed Keith' was a song they performed which will also be
produced on Aquarian Nation.
Dedicated followers of Frank's came from all over the country to
support the charity he has set up in memory of his late mother and father,
together with friends he grew up with on Gulley Flatts, celebrated in the
song 'Gulley Flatts Boys'. Chris Difford formally of the 80's group Squeeze
accompanied Frank on stage for a song they wrote together.
Photo above shows Frank with some of the Gulley Flatts Boys
he has made world famous.
