Frank Underwood is a folk and blues musician, also known for work in the early music field, who presently lives and works in Oxfordshire.
[edit] Biography
He was the leader of the 1970s band Windsong, which featured Annie Lennox prior to her involvement with The Tourists and fame with the Eurythmics. Subsequently he played in a duo with fiddler David Favis-Mortlock as 'Mortlock and Underwood'.
He plays and teaches guitar, harmonica, and lute. A strong interest in the cultural life of England at the time of Jane Austen has led him to establish an Austen group in Oxford [1] [2] , and to team up with Gillian Tunley in a performing duo called 'Austentation' [3] [4].
Underwood was commissioned to write and perform music to honour the 1980s UK visit of Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and has become known as a performer at festivals and cultural events in Oxfordshire.
