Fran Swinn is a guitarist living in Melbourne where she plays in some bands and teaches guitar a bit. She is a member of the Jacqueline Gawler Quartet, Jazz Lives/Jazz Kills, and her own trio (obviously!).
She has a degree and a grad dip from the VCA in Melbourne and in 2005 was awarded funding from the Australia Council and the Ian Potter Cutural Trust to do some study at the Banff Centre in Canada and at the Berklee College of Music clinics in Italy where she received a scholarship.
Fran has also played on a number of film scores and in the occasional theatre show. She has appeared at a bunch of festivals including the Frankston International Guitar Festival, Melbourne Jazz festival, Apollo Bay music festival etc blah blah blah blah blah blah...
