RENOWNED local musician and film director Richard Frankland has been tipped for a resurgence in popularity, with a new album on the way and a performance booked for this year’s WOMAD festival.

The album, Discovering Lerpeen Mara (song man in the Dharwuurd Wurrung language), is set to be released in the new year and is a selection of Mr Frankland’s work over the past two decades or so, but re-imagined and worked into a cohesive set.
