THE best compliment for a musician is someone saying, ‘I got that album, I was going through a tough time, but that song made everything feel a little bit better’.” Ashley Keating, drummer for legendary Cork indie band, the Frank and Walters, is defining what he loves about making music. It’s what many fans love about the Franks, too.

The Frank and Walters have been playing their upbeat tunes for 25 years, and they’re celebrating with a headline gig at Cork Opera House during the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.
