Frank Turner broke the record for most shows played in 24 hours over the weekend, but Crywank claim that they beat him to it.Turner played 15 gigs in 15 different towns kicking off at Liverpool’s Jacaranda Baltic at 12.30pm on Saturday (May 4) before finally completing his mission at Southampton’s The Brook at midday on Sunday (May 5) – all in aid of the Music Venue Trust and supported by sponsor FreeNow, who provided e-taxis for him to complete the almost 500-mile journey.At the start of the journey, Turner posted an image of himself holding a sign saying “BEFORE”, writing: “Here we go friends.
