Jon Sanders / Frank Burkitt

Frank Burkitt

Frank was raised in the Scottish highlands. He sang the old American swing standards with an 18 piece band. Frank had always been writing songs with his guitar however and when an Acting degree took him to Edinburgh, he was heavily influenced by the local folk scene. He has written a catalogue of songs in his inimitable contemporary folk style. Frank credits the likes of Dick Gaughan and James Taylor amongst his biggest influences, though he still clings to hints of his swing roots.
