Hi Webmaister I have a brilliant album of Frankie Miller's called "Full House". ma favourite tracks "Love Letters and Jealous Guy" He went to my school, although I didn't know him at school, John and I met him about 25 years ago in "The Prince of Teck" in Earls Court and I told him he went to my school, he was lovely and he and John were talking about guitars and chord changes and all that for ages, a lovely man. I will most certainly buy his CD. Aw Ra Best Nell.

I have two of Frankies Albums Once In a Blue Moon and the Love Letters one Nell mentioned.
My wife was his Mothers Home Help. She used to wear wee high Heels and she would put on Frankies Records. Some times she would cry and if she did Mrs Andymo would tell her to stop or she would put the Record of. It always worked and they would then dance to them for ages. A lovely wee wummin. Andymo

.... my partner John and I had the honour of meeting Frankie Miller in 2002 when I played with the Johnstone Pipe Band. We took part in a tribute CD recording (on the track Caledonia) and also played on stage at the Barrowland with Frankie and his guests, what a night, and what an experience! The shivers are going up my spine just thinking about it. I'm in the photo kneeling and John is wearing the grey suit.

Frankie Miller Tribute Recording
The band took part in the recording of a tribute CD to the legendary Glasgow born blues singer who is fighting his way back to health after a devastating brain hemorrhage in 1994. The band's contribution to the CD was to perform during a recording of the song 'Caledonia' on which the lead vocals were performed by Fish. Frankie and his partner Annette were there during the recording and it was a pleasure meeting them, and also working with everyone else in the studio. The band would like to wish everyone involved in the Frankie Miller Tribute the best of luck to its success.
The band's session went very well and the CD was released to coincide with the tribute concert on Saturday 7th September at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. This entailed performing during a stage change and then joining everyone on stage for the Caledonia finale which finally took place at 2:15am! Backstage passes were available for all band members which gave us the chance to rub shoulders with many of the other artists including the main man himself, Frankie Miller.
