The Frank & Walters to mark 30‑year Grand Parade anniversary at Dolans

The indie band The Frank & Walters will perform at Dolans on Saturday 14 November as part of a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Grand Parade.

The concert will feature songs from the record, which includes fan favourites such as “Colours”, “Indian Ocean”, “How Can I Exist?” and “Tony Cochrane”. The album followed their breakthrough debut Trains, Boats and Planes, which entered the UK charts and led to a Top of the Pops appearance in January 1993.

Since then the group has remained a regular presence on UK and European stages, enjoying a resurgence after the 2012 release of “Indie Love Song” and the album Greenwich Mean Time. Their seventh studio album, Songs for the Walking Wounded, featured a collaboration with Oscar‑winning actor Cillian Murphy on the single “Stages”.

To mark the anniversary, Grand Parade has been reissued in three limited‑edition vinyl colours – Tangerine, Bluebell and Apple Green – in partnership with Last Night From Glasgow. Following the gig, an After Show Party will take place on Dolans Terrace, playing indie classics and bangers until bedtime, with no cover charge.
