Francis Gillis Patterson (born 15 April 1967), better known as Frankie Poullain, was the bass player for rock band The Darkness. He was born in Milnathort, Scotland, he left the band on May 23 2005, "musical differences" being cited as the reason. Frankie has disputed this version of events, claiming he was "frozen out" and forced to leave the band. He was replaced by Richie Edwards, a former guitar tech for the band.
Poullain was the only original Darkness member not from Lowestoft. Before joining the Darkness, he was a tour guide in the Venezuelan mountains.
