Frank Underwood learned classical piano as a boy, and classical guitar in his teens, delving also into harpsichord and organ. In more recent times he has studied lute with Lynda Sayce and Edward FitzGibbon, and viol with Susie Heinrich.

Over the last thirty years or so he played with various Folk Rock and Blues bands, sharing the stage on occasion with Fairport Convention. In the late '70s he formed WINDSONG with a young Annie Lennox as vocalist, and had a long musical partnership with fiddler Dave Mortlock as MORTLOCK & UNDERWOOD, recording with Dave Pegg (of Fairport and Jethro Tull) on bass (read the full story here).

Aside from all of the contemporary music interests, he has played lute, harpsichord and viola da gamba in Early Music consorts WESTRON WYND and LA JOYSANCE.
