The Ordinary Boys

Taking their name from the Morrissey song, The Ordinary Boys' story began in Worthing in 2001 where they formed from the embers of punk bands that they had been playing in. The band became the darlings of the media in 2006 when singer Preston appeared on Celebrity Big Brother. Influenced by the Mod revival and Britpop music, as well as bands like Madness, The Specials, The Kinks and The Smiths, the band are probably best known for their 2005 single 'Boys Will Be Boys', which reached number three on the UK charts.

Frankie Dobson now living in York, has slowly been causing a stir on the music scene.

He made an entrance when he played his first solo show to a packed out crowd at the Isle of Wight Festival.

From then on he has continued to build his audience by playing various headline shows and supporting Jake Bugg, Kyle Faulkner (The View) and Tom Clarke (The Enemy).

He draws inspiration from artists like The Raconteurs, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Sam Fender, and The Vaccines, to name a few.
