Seen a few references to the great Sir Frank on this site. Any fans out there? His show on Channel M with a stoned Paul Ryder playing bass is quality even if my missus doesn't get it.

And does anybody know exactly who he is?:smoking:

That's Chris Sievey there. Someone saw him on the tram and asked him about Frank Sidebottom lolol

He's coming to New York in April(I've been chatting with him on Myspace). I don't know why. I don't think many english people get him anyway---let alone Americans...

I can't wait for it tho

I think the bit when he gets up and gets off, and says 'Timperley?' says it all. That has to be a candidate for obscure you Tube of the year.

Can't read that name without pronouncing it, in me head, in a daft French accent - Siddy-bot-tem.

Where did I get that from?

Am sure he was introduced on a TV skit as that once?

He was also 'In Love With The Girl On The Virgin Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk'...or a 'Certain Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk' in the suitable for BBC Radio airplay version.

Did Frank once have a stint as Chairman at Macclesfield Football Club?

Frank's astonishing cover of LWTUA (and some other indie classics, medley-Frank-style) can be found here, with some magnificent lyrical reinterpretations...like "and we're changing our ways, and I'm changing my clothes..."

Thank you.
