Frankie & The Heartstrings

One of Britain’s best new pop/indie bands has been added to the line up for the Rochdale Feel Good Festival this summer.

Frankie & The Heartstrings will play the main stage, sponsored by The Flying Horse Hotel, on Saturday 3 September.

In just a few months the band has gone from being virtually unknown, to playing some of the country’s biggest music events.

The Sunderland 5 piece will be supporting ‘The Kaiser Chiefs’ next month, and performing at the Reading and Leeds Festivals before the Rochdale Feel Good Festival.

Rapidly gaining a reputation for their crowd pleasing sing-along anthems, the bands debut album ‘Hunger’ shot straight into the UK top 40, and their live performances have attracted rave reviews.
