Former lead singer (and founder) of early 2000s indie band The Troubadours, Mark Frith joins us on the podcast. Mark has experienced the highs and lows of the music business.

After breaking the stigma of being a song writer amongst friends and family, Mark quickly realised he was on to something, when top band managers discovered him on myspace. From that point onwards it was a whirlwind, as they were propelled to fame. Their first big break came when they toured with Paul Weller, and it felt like a continual rise to a successful destiny.

With more fans turning up to gigs, the Troubadours signed to Sony records, and turned Japan. Nobody could foresee what would happen next, but it was a bumpy ride. Strap yourself in, for a mesmerising episode!
