Fran's Mini
One man and his Minis:
From his art school daze onwards, Fran has always driven Minis, usually dogdy second hand ones.
Some of these cars are notorious; the (now legendary) Green Mini, which had the same tape stuck in it's player for months on end. And the incredible Orange Mini with detachable passenger door!
According to Fran
"The worst thing about being in Travis is that I'll never ever get to see Travis live, the reason being is that I'm told that we're a pretty good live band, and I haven't seen a good live band in a long time, plus it's impossible to be objective when your as close as I am to the log."
"The best thing about being in Travis is that it's like being on a really expensive three year holiday from the dole, and your never sure when it's going to end, I'm expecting the safe to fall my head any day now!"
"We can be brilliant, or the worst band in the world, but we're never boring."
"We've always known we're the best band. That maybe is just our opinion but what's the point of doing it if you don't think you're any good?"
"We live in a junk culture. It's junk food, junk music, and junk clothing - it's all about the surface. None of it works. It looks great on the TV when it's marketed but when you get it home, it breaks within two days."
"The Backstreet Boys are great. Hands up, I love 'em. You know that song 'I Want It That Way'? I love that one."
"Guitar bands, man. There is sooo much indiewank. Give it up. Don't just make angry music. Make people feel something."
"I'd sacrifice my life for Travis."
