INFORMATION ABOUT FRANK
Francis Dunnery (sometimes known as Frank); (born 25 December 1962, in Egremont, Cumbria, England) was a founding member of the 1980s band, It Bites. Although he started on drums, he later became the lead singer and guitarist of the group, and maintained this position until he left in 1990.
It Bites released three studio albums, The Big Lad in the Windmill (1986), Once Around the World (1988) and the critically acclaimed Eat Me in St Louis (1989). Their final album, the live swan song Thank You and Goodnight was released in 1990. It Bites' biggest hit single was "Calling All The Heroes" in 1986, which reached #6 in the UK Singles Chart.
Possessing both impressive instrumental prowess and songwriting ability, Dunnery soon became one of the most influential guitarists of his generation.[citation needed]
Since leaving It Bites, Dunnery has operated as a solo artist, recording seven studio albums: Welcome to the Wild Country (1991), Fearless (1994), Tall Blonde Helicopter (1995), One Night in Sauchiehall Street (1995), Let's Go Do What Happens (1998), Man (2001), and The Gulley Flats Boys (2005). He has performed regularly in both the U.S. and the UK. His biggest solo hit single was "American Life in the Summertime".
Normally a Fender Stratocaster player, Dunnery is also the inventor of the guitar based instrument called the tapboard which used parts of a shower hose and an egg timer to produce its sounds.
After Phil Collins left Genesis, Dunnery was approached to join the band, but refused. He has contributed backing vocals to Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe's eponymous album. He also rehearsed with The Syn for an abortive tour in 2005. He accompanied former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant on his "Fate of Nations" world tour in 1993-4.
Additionally, he has been recording studio sessions for Lauryn Hill, Elton John, and many others. These include Carlos Santana on his multi-platinum album Supernatural. Also, Dunnery co-wrote several tracks and played guitar on Ian Brown's album Music of the Spheres.
