Trailer for the film To Be Frank



Musician Frank Benbini is best known as the drummer for Fun Lovin' Criminals. In the past, he has played with the famous reggae band UB40 and Irish singer Sinead O'Connor. In addition to his work in the music world, he has many other interests. It turns out that Benbini sometimes works as a hairdresser and runs a beauty salon with a friend. He is also a presenter on BBC Radio Leicester. In the documentary To Be Frank, Benbini shares the life lessons he has learned while working in many areas of show business.

To Be Frank was directed by Steve Baker, who has been documenting Benbini's life for ten years and has filmed many of the Fun Lovin' Criminals' music videos. Benbini's stories about himself, his friends, and his life, brought to the screen, reveal many interesting things. Viewers will not remain indifferent to the part of the story where Benbini talks about his covers of Prince's songs and his collaboration with singer Sinead O'Connor.

The result of a decade of work on the documentary To Be Frank is an exceptionally entertaining film that reveals how difficult it is to achieve success in the modern music industry and how Frank Benbini managed to do so despite all the obstacles. The story of his musical journey is masterfully juxtaposed with his personal challenges: complex mental health issues, battles with record companies, and the pressure of an ever-changing music industry. This candid story, which recently premiered in UK cinemas, is expected to captivate listeners and viewers around the world.

This Sunday (November 2), the cult band Fun Lovin' Criminals will perform their latest songs and greatest hits at a concert in Lithuania as part of their world tour. The performers of hits such as "Scooby Snacks," "The Fun Lovin' Criminal," "Love Unlimited," "Korean Bodega," "Loco," and others will perform at the Vakaris Vilnius concert hall. Tickets for the concert are available on the ticket distribution platform Shownet.lt.
