Friday Feature: Franco and the Dreadnought

Franco (aka John Blaylock) and the Dreadnought (aka DXME Martin Acoustic Guitar) have a chemistry between them that only thousands of hours of ambition-driven practicing and passionate love for music can create. This of course combined with talent of creating memorable melodies and lyrics, the journey to success can begin.

Or actually it has already begun.

Being the former lead singer for Manchester hit band International One, Franco is no stranger to success. Even Desmond Tutu has personally asked for his musical contribution to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela. The composed song was given to Mandela as a 90th birthday gift.

Last Tuesday Franco and the Dreadnought's video for debut single 'Last Man Standing' was released. For this special occasion you have the chance to win a home gig on his Facebook. Whoever wins, whether it required flying across the ocean or driving to Liverpool, he would do it. The latter option meaning that he's a huge Manchester United fan and umm football rivalry issues...

Anyways, here's the video, which also ManU legend Gary Neville (you know Beckham's BFF) is a fan of. And a free 6 track EP to download.
