Okay. So. By my reckoning, next Friday's Wembley Arena gig will be the 29th Frank Turner show I've seen in the last five years (and yes, I include solo, full band and support slots in the mix). It's quite a varied list, with a somewhat mindblogging amount of mileage involved. Turns out, I've seen the man (and his band, sometimes) play in 11 different cities and at 22 different venues since August 2007. Bleedin' Nora. The full list is below:
