“The most talented young songwriter Manchester has produced for years” – Guy Garvey, Elbow

Having played every den in Manchester over the past couple of years, 22 year old Mancunian Liam Frost released his debut EP, She Painted Pictures, in February 2006 on Lavolta Records. Liam made his live debut at 15 years of (under) age, reeling off fake dates of birth to perform at the infamous Akoustic Anarchy nights at the Star & Garter. After a few years singing in ‘shouty punk bands around Manchester’, Liam went solo in 2003 at the ripe old age of 20.

Shouty punk’s loss is charming, eccentric, acoustic pop’s gain as the man who has also been described by Guy Garvey as “the UK’s answer to Bright Eyes” started to write prolifically over the following two years.  Building a devoted fanbase in Manchester and wowing crowds nationwide supporting fellow troubadour Stephen Fretwell, Liam has also shared a stage with Nine Black Alps, Willy Mason, Badly Drawn Boy and Kinks legend Ray Davies.

Liam with his band The Slowdown Family have spent the last few months in the studio with Coldplay producer Danton Supple to record their debut album. Single The Mourners of St Paul's is out on June 5th with the album following in the late summer.
