Friend of Franky played our Brighton Minifesto at the weekend and completely stole our hearts and minds – so we booked them on the spot for LOUD WOMEN Fest London!

This brilliant band delivers a gorgeous set of heartfelt, hooky queer bangers, and we just know our festival crowd is going to fall in love with them too.
