Music career

Having already written several songs, Frith began looking to put a band together in 2005 in Liverpool, to get these tunes to reach the public. He originally began working with a guitarist and after advertising for a bass player and a drummer; 'The Troubadours' were born later that year.

After a few years of heavy touring; including playing V Festival and Tokyo's Summer Sonic Festival, as well as providing support for notable artists such as Paul Weller and The Enemy; Frith disbanded the group in late 2009. During the band's time together they gained a following in both the north of England and Japan. They also released their debut album in Japan in 2008.

Frith has picked up plaudits for his songwriting. In 2008, Paul Weller called him a 'Classic British Songwriter' and the record producer John Leckie declared him 'the best Songwriter I've worked with in 10 years'.

In October 2011, the Troubadours announced they would be getting back to together for a sold out gig at the Liverpool Lomax and, in February 2012, they announced they would be back full-time.

gollark: I don't use YouTube very much, and the main focus is the video anyway. Also, I had no idea that YouTube had a dark mode.
gollark: > i wonder how much google can tell about some1 just from their viewing habitsWell, they probably combine those with a bunch of other data. Like location, stuff installed on phone, search history, that sort of thing.
gollark: I mean, I already watched the new one, so I suppose it has evolved beyond those advert recommendation systems which show you ads for stuff you already bought.
gollark: Huh, I just opened YouTube and the very first thing there was the IR death ray video, video.
gollark: Huh. That is a... vaguely worrying amount of information, but I guess Google does that.
