Acclaimed singer-songwriter Frank Turner has spoken to Beyond Radio ahead of his sold-out gig at Lancaster Town Hall in aid of a worthy cause.
Frank played in front of a packed crowd at Lancaster Town Hall on Saturday to raise funds for Citizens Advice North Lancashire, where his big sister Joanna Young is CEO.
The siblings even performed a special duet on stage during the gig!
It was Frank's fourth show in Lancaster and he intends to be back in future; saying he loves visiting Joanna and her family in Morecambe, and has a particular love for the Eric Morecambe Statue!
Beyond Radio's Paul Fisher spoke to Frank and his sister before Saturday's show.

Frank and Joanna spoke about the importance of the work of Citizens Advice North Lancashire, who play an essential role supporting local people with day-to-day challenges, from their offices in Lancaster and Morecambe.
The singer is also an ambassador for CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably) and spoke about the importance about talking about mental health.

Turner, known for his powerful songs blending folk, punk, and rock, has 10 studio albums to his credit, including a number one with 'FTHC' and five other UK Top 3 albums.
His latest album 'Undefeated' is out now and his European tour starts this weekend.
"I know this part of the world through my sister and it's a beautiful thing," he said.
"There was a time about 50 years ago when more bands who tour played more regional towns and cities, and that's fallen out of favour.
"I love the fact that I can say I've been to Lancaster, and this is my fourth show here, and there will be more, down the road."

Frank was supported by local musicians Amy Rae and Joe McCorriston, who was making a return home from his base in Brixton, London.
