Happy Birthday to the one and only Tony Franklin – The Fretless Monster! 🎂🎸
Wishing a phenomenal birthday to my dear friend Tony Franklin – a truly extraordinary musician and a generous mentor to so many. Tony, you’ve brought your unmistakable magic to countless tracks I’ve produced, and every time, you breathe them to life in a way only you can.
From your early days with Roy Harper to making rock history with The Firm, and on through a staggering discography with legends like David Gilmour, Kate Bush, John Sykes, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd – your fretless bass has become a voice all its own. Whether it’s hard rock, blues, prog, or pure groove, your sound is instantly recognisable and always soulful.
But beyond the stage and studio, you’re one of the kindest, most down-to-earth souls in the business – someone who lifts others up and leads by example. I’ve seen first-hand how your creativity, humility and sense of fun inspire everyone around you.
Here’s to more music, more inspiration, and more of your trademark fretless fire. Happy 62nd, Tony – the world sounds better with you in it.
