Theo Adler Supporting Uncle Frank

Leicester’s Uncle Frank is a band that has developed from roots, soul, big

band, and funk to guitar driven melodic rock, always with a splash of pop.

Channelling influences from bands like Rival Sons, ZZ Top, Clutch and Lenny

Kravitz.

The band has grown, with critical acclaim, performing on tours and festivals

with the likes of Paul Heaton (Beautiful South, The Housemartins),

Glastonbury rockers Reef, and Craig Charles and his Funk and Soul tours.

They have headlined and been featured artists at many festivals such as YNot, Looe, Summer Sundae, Simon Says and The Great Estate Festival as

well as touring regularly in the USA.

The highlight of 2022 was performing MainStage at London’s 02 Dome and

Manchester AO Arena.

Significant radio play also helped to elevate the band with playlisting on

regional radio, spot plays on many national radio stations including BBC

Radio 2, 6 Music and BBC Introducing and commercial stations.

An array of music videos ,to complement the bands output, have racked up

over 500,000 views on Youtube and Frank himself has been a presenting for

half a decade on BBC Radio .Hand selected tunes every Sunday night, and

never a bad song played in over 5 years (as he would definitely tell you)

The brand new Uncle Frank record ,’Diablo’, is the bands 4th album

(preceded by Soul on the Battleground 2019, Love Lion 2017 and Smiles For

Miles 2014.)

They formed in 2003 in Leicester where Frank Benbini and Naim Cortazzi

grew up in single parent families. Music was their way out, a common

interest and what they saw as the way to see the world and win in life.
