Line Up - Saturday Community Stage

South Wales based Singer-songwriter Frankie Wesson started writing songs and performing in her hometown of Abergavenny at the age of 16. Her cinematic songs draw inspiration from her personal experiences of bitter-sweet nostalgia, unrequited love, teenage angst and the complicated reality of growing up LGBT+.

Raised on artists like Alanis Morisette, Eva Cassidy and Stevie Nicks. Wesson also takes inspiration from a mix of contemporary artists such as Deaf Havana, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and MUNA. Producing intimate, emotionally raw, yet laid-back music with a pop/folk/rock feel. 

Her versatile vocal range and talent for emotive, relatable song writing makes for captivating live performances and songs that’ll soon become part of your musical diet. 

Frankie’s original songs have been featured on BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Introducing as well as Spotify’s ‘Chilled Pop Hits’ and ‘New Music Friday’ playlists.

In 2023 Frankie won Tredegar House Folk Festival's songwriter competition with her queer unrequited love story single 'Just Friends'.

Swansea’s Soundboard magazine described Wesson’s music as ‘timeless; appealing to fans of Fleetwood Mac and Paramore alike without compromising or diluting any of the style that makes Wesson’s music her own... an album that is more than the sum of it’s parts’.

She has performed at Monmouth Festival, How The Light Gets In - in Hay On Wye and London, Coleford Music Festival, Swansea Fringe, Abergavenny Pride, Pride in the Port, Rock The Barn and many more.
