Noel Gallagher has been quoted as saying. “If I wasn’t for the Frank and Walter’s I’d be working on a building site now”
Their concerts are quirky and fun and you can be sure to hear all their hits including ‘This is not a Song’, ‘After all’, ‘Walters Trip’ ‘Fashion Crisis hits New York’ and ‘Stages’.
