Old Trunk: Fran & Leni
1976. Fran & Leni meet in a North London comp. Three years later they are The Rips. Girls with guitars, bored of playing nice.
“I was the punk. I was born punk. But she was my rock. The only one I ever
had.”
Music, sex, fishnets, tits and spitting: a two-girl escape from everything sugar and spice.
Old Trunk provoked laughter and tears at Latitude and Edinburgh with this full-throttle tale of escape and lifelong friendship.
