Fran Anderson has been a driving force in our local music scene from an early age. Her work with BBC Introducing helped propel emerging Stoke artists onto the national airwaves, and she’s lent her expertise as a judge for Metal 2 The Masses, championing heavy music talent across the region. Whether she’s at grassroots gigs in Stoke or travelling further afield, Fran is a constant and passionate presence in the scene. Now studying Music Business in Liverpool, she’s dedicated to shining a spotlight on the incredible talent coming out of Staffordshire and Cheshire, and bringing it to the rest of the UK. Fran is truly honoured to serve on the panel for the Staffordshire and Cheshire Music Awards.
