Frank was born into a non-musical family in Cornwall, UK in 1952. Aged 13 he took up the trombone and joined his school brass band; on leaving school aged fifteen he joined the Royal Marines Band Service where he changed to the French horn. In 1975 he left the services to study at the Royal Academy of Music as a pupil of Ifor James. Within three months, however, he was offered the position of Principal Horn with the Scottish National Orchestra, now the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
Frank has performed as a soloist throughout Europe and the United States as well as Canada, Japan, Taiwan, China and Australia. He has featured on numerous occasions at the International Horn Workshops in the United States, Japan, Europe and South Africa, and also tours Europe extensively giving master classes and performing both as soloist and with chamber groups. He was President of the International Horn Society 2006-2007 and was re-elected President in the summer of 2010/2011.
His mastery of unusual playing techniques can be heard clearly in Tico Tico on the London Horn Sound CD, and on several of the arrangements on the new, London Horn Sound 2 Jazz CD "Give it one".
