Quotes by Fred Frith

Fred Frith

…what’s always exciting is when you hear something amazing when you least expected it.

And what’s even more wonderful in a way, is when you hear something that you know, and already think you have an opinion about, and then suddenly discover that it isn’t what you thought it was, but something quite different, which makes it just as surprising as if you’d never heard it before. That’s REALLY great!
