The Road Beneath My Feet

Frank Turner

*The Sunday Times Bestseller*

*Featuring an exclusive new chapter*

On 23 September 2005 at the Joiners Arms in Southampton Frank Turner played his last gig with his hardcore band Million Dead. On the laminates that listed the tour dates the entry for 24 September simply read: 'Get a job.'
Deflated jaded and hungover Frank returned to his hometown of Winchester without a plan for the future. All he knew was that he wanted to keep playing music.

Cut to 13 April 2012 over a thousand shows later (show 1216 to be precise) and he was headlining a sold-out gig at Wembley Arena with his band The Sleeping Souls.

Told through his tour reminiscences this is the blisteringly honest story of Frank's career from drug-fuelled house parties and the grimy club scene to filling out arenas fans roaring every word back at him. But more than that it is an intimate account of what it's like to spend your life constantly on the road sleeping on floors invariably jetlagged all for the love of playing live music.
