Vadnochka Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 It is a little known fact that there were three Frost brothers. Andrew / Steve / Chris Steve and Chris have been on the scene since 1968 when Leicester Top Ranks Tuesday night gigs introduced the younger two brothers to Motown and other soul orientated music but prior to that elder brother Andrew - 6 yrs older than Steve - 8 older than Chris was a teenage promoter / DJ / Actor / Wit and all round legend in Leicester. Promoting at the DeMontford Hall, Granby Hall, Corn Exchange and local village halls as well as Rugby town hall - from 1966, booking Spencer Davis, Paul & Barry Ryan, Hedgehoppers Anonymous, The Who, Unit 4 plus 2 as well as local bands - Fearns Brass Foundry actually played at his 21st birthday party in the grounds of the families baronial home in Rothley. He was a regular at the Chicane / Burlesque / Night Owl and a house dj at The Grand in Coalvile and the Penny Farthing Leicester before joining Trans Atlantic Records in London in there sales team - He was an avid Jazz fan but always had a large 45 input due to his many roles in the industry. So that's the background to the relentless pursuit of outstanding vinyl still displayed by the remaining two brothers who are now trying to put together a 'The Frost Brothers 150 yrs of soul' gigs on the mainland to answer the many requests from their youtube hits to be actually behind the decks and playing their remarkable play-lists. Both of them of course are seasoned DJ's with a catalogue of exclusives over the years. So - Anybody out there who wants a double deck 2hr monster show at their venue just ping us a PM and we'll see what we can do 1
