World Goes Round is a band born out of both individual musical pedigree and collective passion. At its heart is Frank Musker, an accomplished songwriter whose credits include successes far beyond this project. Although the band has had periods of dormancy over the years, its identity has always been linked to songwriting excellence, powerful vocals, and songs that strive to connect deeply with listeners. When World Goes Round first formed, it was clear that its sound would be rooted not only in rock/pop sensibilities but also in lyrical depth—something Musker has long been celebrated for in other facets of his career.
Frank Musker is no newcomer when it comes to recognition in the music world. As an Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriter, his work has earned him respect and accolades. He has written for or co-written with various artists over the years—contributors who demand strong songwriting, memorable hooks, and lyrical craft. With World Goes Round, Musker brings all that experience into sharper focus, placing front and centre not just the songs, but the stories, the concert-moments, and the emotional connection with audiences.
Recently, Frank Musker travelled to Rome’s Colosseum to receive a prestigious award—marking not only personal recognition, but also one that shines a light back on World Goes Round. Although full details of the award are not widely published, sources say it celebrates his achievements in songwriting and impact on music, spanning decades. The Colosseum’s grandeur made for a powerful backdrop: ancient, enduring, symbolic, much like the kind of music Musker has always aspired to write—songs that stand the test of time.
This trip to Italy was also more than just an award-ceremony trip. It coincided with a long-awaited reunion for World Goes Round. After many years apart, the band came together again to perform live, reigniting the chemistry among its members and revisiting songs from their album. Two tracks in particular stood out: “Be The Love You Are”, with its message of compassion and self-affirmation, and a version of “Too Much Love”, which in this context felt like a powerful exercise in both nostalgia and renewal. For fans, these performances were more than concerts—they were proof that the band’s voice is still vital, still able to move people.
What this all suggests is that World Goes Round is at an inflexion point. Frank Musker’s recognition in Rome anchors the past—that long history of songwriting and influence—while the reunion signals a forward movement. There’s potential here for new recordings, more live work, and perhaps a broader revival. For fans old and new, the message is clear: the music remains, the stories matter, and when a songwriter like Musker returns to centre-stage with a band that shares his vision, there’s reason to be excited.
