When I was in Year 8, a teacher responded to me being unable to do the school musical by screaming at me that I would never make it in the arts. Where are we all? My band are playing a sold out show tonight and leaving for a festival on Friday. That teacher has been arrested for pedophilia.

Our next show on board the Golden Hinde is on Sept 30th! Join us for an evening of jigs, shanties and pirate merriment. Dressing up is encouraged. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/frankie-he...

Also hello Bluesky, I’m back again. If you are here for The Heartless Rogues updates, here are our upcoming shows! Golden Hinde link- www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/frankie-he... Bournemouth link- www.fatsoma.com/e/2ntdvp4a/f...

Question for my fellow teachers- Students shouldn’t run in corridors. Do we make exceptions for Naruto runs?

The Heartless Rogues might be the queerest pirate band in the UK and now we have a line of pride merch to prove it! Look at our glossy new shirts. www.frankieheartless.com/store/p/prid...

Folks, we will back for another night of pirate merriment on board The Golden Hinde on August 4th! Join us for more jigs, shanties and folk classics. Book now if you plan on coming, the Hinde shows tend to sell out! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/frankie-he...

For most people, getting a 4am text from a man means one thing. He asked if I would like to sing in Handel’s Messiah at a local church. Not a euphemism.

The Heartless Rogues has grown so fast that our next Golden Hinde show is about to sell out with two weeks to go. If you want to see us play in London, join us on Sunday May 17th at The Amersham Arms! www.outsavvy.com/event/27463/...

I appear to be ranting today. It is so irritating when promoters or producers book you for their festivals and then refuse to announce you. What are you scared of?

An observation from a fairly face blind person. It is always the people I have met once face to face and spoken to for under 5 minutes who get offended by me not remembering what they look like.

I got to see another pretty ship yesterday, but on Wednesday I’ll be back on the Golden Hinde for another sold out show!

Fabulous musicians who encourage you to dress like a pirate. What's not to love?

I just agreed to trade my Power Rangers SPD morpher and badges for a sword lesson and dear god I love being a nerd.

I worried that I’d put all our shanty gigs too close together and we wouldn’t be able to sell tickets. Instead, tonight’s Golden Hinde gig is sold out and the other three shows have had good sales. I think we’re selling well because we encourage people to sing, dance and dress up. Community is key.

It’s nice being remembered fondly. I still get asked if I’m going to Dragoncon, when I haven’t been since 2013. I hope everyone going this year has a wonderful time!

The Honor Oak Shanty Choir is still running tonight! What a way to end this gloriously sunny bank holiday. Follow the link below for tickets or more information.

I’m deep in my personal thoughts and grief this morning. A very dear American friend of mine died last year and I didn’t go over to be with the family because I had no money and didn’t want them to know that. I regret not going. With the political climate, It may be years before I’m in the US again.

Here’s a picture of me as a bumblebee hosting the costume competition at Fantasy Forest. I am almost definitely laughing at my own joke here.

I had a wonderful time at Fantasy Forest debuting my new cavalier bumblebee look and co-hosting the costume competition with Alice Strange. I’ll share my new favourite feedback- “I have to tell you, you have an amazing voice, but a terrible sense of humour.” l

Folks, I will be at Fantasy Forest this weekend, co-hosting the costume contest with the wonderful Alice Strange. Come and say hi if you see me. I’ll be dressed as a bumblebee so I’ll be hard to miss.

By complete coincidence and in two different job roles, I am working closely with two of my favourite artists over the next two weeks. I can’t yet say more, but I am freaking out and will revisit this when I am allowed to.

My flatmate came home upset, so I gave her chocolate and a sword and she’s now gleefully happy. I don’t think I’m getting the sword back any time though.

We had the best time at our debut gig. Thanks to everyone who came to watch Frankie Heartless & The Heartless Rogues on our maiden voyage!

Introducing Frankie Heartless & The Heartless Rogues! I have a lot of fun playing with these guys. You can join in the folky pirate fun at our first gig on June 4th in New Cross. www.outsavvy.com/event/27463/...
