Frank Turner – ‘I Still Believe’ (Xtra Mile recordings)

Not strictly a 2012 single, it was one of the songs of the summer, no matter where you turned, if playing ‘I Still Believe’ at the Olympic Opening Ceremony at London 2012 to having the he even had a beer created – Frank Turner Believe, also the song was our and many another highlights from his headline show at Wembley.

His recent support to The Pogues excellent tour. Even stronger than usual, the collective media buzz surrounding the impressive anthem of a single, had not eased; this could even be viewed as overkill – that is if you did not think ‘I Still Believe’ is a classic, even by Frank Turner’s standards. One of many reasons why 2012 was a good year for music. 8/10
