Singer-songwriter Franc Cinelli was born in Rome, Italy and raised in London, his Music 101 course came from his mother's vinyl collection: Springsteen, The Police, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd & Bob Marley. He learned his trade playing shows, jumping on National Express coaches to play gigs in pubs, venues and front rooms from Hastings to Stornaway and back again until there were enough songs to make a record.
