Francis Dunnery sang Lead Vocals and played Lead Guitar During his career with It Bites, Francis invented a unique 'guitar' named the Tapboard, which boasted some hi-tech equipment such as a shower hose and an egg timer!, However this remarkable instrument attracted media attention, in Sounds and Making Music, and was played with incredible skill on the album Once Around The World. An article in Sounds, claims that Francis's first love was for drums, and that it was kind of inevitable that he would go on to invent the tapboard! |
