Early life and career beginnings
Frank Hamilton was born in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England. He took an early interest in music, singing along to the likes of Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in the back of his parents Volvo. He attended St Ivo School and was a keen sportsman, at one point ranked No. 8 in England at table tennis.
