Dunnery is a guitar god. I remember seeing this band at the Royal Standard pub in Walthamstow and I was totally blown away, fucking awesome. I think Dunnery was just using a Fender Squier and his guitar tone was fucking amazing. They were way ahead of their time, such a pity they split up.
@szevetch Frank succomed to too much alcohol that his family had done. Jon Beck was always jealous of Franks status in the band and there was a kind of edge in the band. Frank and Rich and Bob grew up in Egremont. Jon came in as he was from Whitehaven. If the truth be known Jon Beck was the brillaint backing to Frank's genious. Such a shame I wish these guys could work together again. Jon Mitchell is a fantastic guitar player but he is not Frank
Yeah 4th album was being recorded in America and there was a bust up between Beck on keyboards and Dunnery whose head wouldnt fit on the album cover it was said at the time lol great shame as 3rd album was so gd, who knows what 4th would of been like......
Jazza, I too was at the Astoria! a quite brilliant show!! couldn't resist the recent 'once more around the world' shows, but - as nostalgic as it was - is just wasn't the same without Francis. I'm going to have to put the ipod on now v loud ;o)
They couldn't get any traction in the markets. Their label tried to market them into various niches which never stuck. Besides that, I believe that Rolling Stones released a two-word review of EMISL: "It does."
Saw these in leeds a long time ago i still listen, brilliant to listen again.... play the game or give up

I saw Dunnery performing at a house concert on Long Island, NY this past weekend. Front row. Interesting.

It was Francis' honesty which broke the band up. Beck seemed to be the poser.
