Johnny Boyle played drums with The Frames from 2003–2008 on several tours.

In the past couple of years he’s been playing with his previous bands LiR and Picture House, as well as Marianne Faithfull, The Fat Lady Sings, and A House.

He’s been Head of Drums at BIMM Dublin for over 9 years and just finished an album with John Murry, which was produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, EELS, M. Ward, Tracy Chapman).

In February 2020 he launched a podcast called The Brief Encounter, talking music, movies, and the ups and downs of being an artist/musician. His second episode features another former Frames drummer Graham Hopkins and can be found here.
