"Acoustic Avenue" was heavily featured recently on British radio. Four songs from the album were played on Roy Wetton's Millside Radio Show. During Roy's two-hour show featuring roots, rock, and reggae music, two songs from Frank were played in the first hour and two in the second. The songs featured were "Painting Machine", "Leaves", "Sailor" and "Fisherman's House". On the air Roy described Acoustic Avenue as: "a brilliant album with excellent songwriting".
 All in all, a great experience and Roy continues to feature songs from Acoustic Avenue in his program. Thanks Roy!

Blueka apparently had things very well in hand. He warmed up with an atmospheric instrumental piece which made me think of the excellent soundtrack music made by Mark Knopfler.. after a dry but humourous comment “yep, everything works” he got down to business. Technically a very good guitarist, he's also blessed with a warm friendly voice and a perfectly tempered, modest style. The second number was a sixties protest song, then came a blues from somewhere beyond the cosmos and after that a cover of U2's "With or Without You". The songs kept coming, something for everyone it seemed. Playing covers for this kind of crowd is risky however, you won't win any "cult hero" prizes for playing popular tunes. Frank said he had no answer to that….

When asked what kind of music he makes, Frank replies: “Songs, preferably in their simplicity. I arrange songs with my acoustic guitar and voice in mind. These restricted resources frustrate me sometimes, but on the other hand they ensure that I don’t lose myself in the surplus of too many possibilities. Give me a synthesizer and I dream away so far that I can hardly find the way back…”

3voor12 (VPRO) hears Folk and Celtic influences in Frank's music which will be confirmed soon with the release of his first full-length album, "Acoustic Avenue". Also present are deep-bluesy moods associated with John Mayall's 1967 solo album. The same dreamy midnight-blueness permeates the attic chamber recordings of Frank Blueka.

For his lyrics he often draws inspiration from the universe, dreams and animals. Feelings of love, anger, loss and humour braid themselves throughout in a seamless, shameless (and sometimes delightfully odd) mix. In the track "Wildebeast" he puts forth a contemplation of the African animal world from the safety of a tree hut, singing as if he'd rather be one of them!
