When asked what they missed most while on tour, 8 out of 10 Service personnel answered… the pub!

Throughout 2010 and into 2011, lounge/swing artiste Frankie Martin will undertake a record breaking tour of the UK mainland, playing at least one show a day, every day, for a year and a day.

The “Great British Pub Tour" commenced in Nocton Lincolnshire on Monday 19th April 2010, on Frankie's 50th birthday and will end 366 shows and 366 days later. To a singer that is equivalent to running a half marathon everyday for a whole year.

Born into a forces family this brat packer intends to raise awareness of the continuing sacrifices made by British Armed Forces personnel worldwide while entertaining with the unforgettable songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Michael Buble and more. Money raised from this musical extravaganza will be donated to H4H.
