First saw these guys at The Marquee in 1984 and I have never stopped enjoying their music ever since.

Incredibly under-appreciated talent

Was that kid (with camera) in Grange Hill?

Beautiful song by an amazing band. Saw them back as a 14 year old in 85 supporting The Alarm in a small venue in Dublin, never heard of them until that day, Today I listen to their songs 100 times more than tunes by the Alarm (with the exception of Dave Sharp's work), Great stuff!

Saw these guys supporting The Alarm.

What a voice.

Ive always completely loved this record.

Faith Brothers Faith Brothers Faith Brothers Faith Brothers. No the No the No the No the!!!

Remember my cousin taking me to watch them at the Marquee Club in the 80s. Good memories 😁

Top tune.Saw them supporting The Alarm in 1985

Can't believe Billy wrote this song back in the eighties! the lyrics stand up so strongly now in 2023. I did nick , the lyric Country Of The Blind for one of my songs (go to Dave Tommo you tube Channel) called Obey. I saw The Faith Brothers a few times live. They were a great band and should have been heard by way more people..RIP Billy you were a genious ! love Dave Tommo X

Remember this song getting loads of airplay on Radio Trent when it came out, loved it

This is the song I have been searching for for AGES!!! I only remembered the trumpet part and I recreated it and put it on soundcloud but never got no answer, until I posted it on a music group on facebook. Two days and I got my answer. Fantastic!

Wow, I just love KZbin sometimes. I met the bass player Lee many moons ago, 27 yrs in fact. He told me about having been in this band. Went through some old photos recently and thought of him again and now all these years later I can find all their music on here. Lovely stuff

Used to watch the lads at the Golden Gloves in Hammersmith when they had changed there name to the Big Five, Steve Howlett was a good friend who played the drums, all from Fulham........great days!!!1

Saw em supporting the Alarm around 1985 and many times after . Bunked off school the next day to buy the 12" in Dunstable. Happy Days

Thanks for all the memories and RIP Billy ❤

Doesnt half sound like Blue Ox Babes

Great song, great band , saw them support U2 at the Milton Keynes bowl in the 80s

RIP Billy, 4 years today x

Still lovin this in 2020!!! Just found this on 12" in my old record box... great find! Great song! Great band!

Yes classic and still sounds great.

Just found this little gem in my old 7" vinyl box... and still lovin it in 2020!!! Saw them supporting the Alarm in Manchester in 86 i think... reminded me of a young Paul Weller at the time.. great band... great singer... fine lyrics...

RIP Billy you were a lovely man

Dead good. Country of the blind on 6 music too. 10/1/19. Ace

Totally gutted to find out Billy had died. Feckin loved the Faith Brothers. Remember the first time I heard Stranger on the radio and it blew me away. Couldn't wait to tell my friend about it. Really loved The Tradesmans Entrance as well. Can't believe it. R.I.P Billy Franks, you were awesome. ❤

Again what can I say, a great band and a brilliant singer taken from the world far to early...........rip billy

Gives me the shivers and tears at the same time. Loved this sound since 1985. R.I.P Billy. Peace.

They played Shelley's in stoke twice within weeks. Got to hang out with Billy at the hotel after. Top bloke and so underated! Rest in peace fella!!

Fantastic voice seen him supporting boomtown rats 1986 Newcastle mayfair.what a talent.

Saw Faith Brothers support TEAM at Hammersmith Palais circa. 85 and always loved them since

They've nicked a Slade riff in the guitars from 'When the Lights are out' but Idon't care the song is ace. This is my first time of hearing.

This is the first time I've seen the video to a song I bought after a recommendation. Got the 12 inch and played the groove off it. tremendous and sooo under rated.

The boss playing the trumpet is my dad😎😎😏

A song for Thursday VOTE LABOUR

Saw them support The Alarm- great live band

Terrible news about Billy. Saw the Faith Brothers supporting the Wayerboys mid 80s Brum...went out the following day & bought their first album. Brilliant songwriter.

I had the pleasure of knowing Billy and directing this video for the Faith Brothers. An incredible songwriting talent and a lovely guy. R.I.P. Billy Franks you will be sorely missed x

R.I.P. Billy.
