Frank And Walters, The

Named after a couple of tramps in their home of Cork in Ireland, the Frank and Walters were, along with the Sultans of Ping FC, part of the short-lived popularity of the Cork rock scene. Producing very quirky pop music, they had a number of early hits in Ireland and the UK ('Fashion Crisis Hits New York' and 'After All'), disappeared and remerged to settle into being a typical Irish cult band with a live following and predictable sales on Setanta Records.
They took a break from touring and recording in 2002, re-emerging once again in 2005 with a double album of previous unreleased material called "Souvenirs", to be followed by an album of new material in 2006.
