Welcome back to this weeks brilliant episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by Andy Franks AKA Franksy who has worked his way through every backstage role in the live music industry from stage manager right the way through to tour director, working for over 17 years with Depeche Mode alone; He has also worked for seven years each with Robbie Williams and Coldplay. Andy takes us through the journey of his drinking, and how he came about setting up the charity "Music Support" which provides a number of core services to anybody working in the UK music and live events scene who needs support. This episode is a great conversation between two men and is an excellent listen in line with Mens Mental Health Month.
