He also shared a stage with Elbow, The Decemberists, The Magic Numbers, Nine Black Alps, Willy Mason, Badly Drawn Boy and Ray Davies. His debut album, "Show Me How The Spectres Dance", was released on September 11, 2006.
The Mourners of St Paul's was voted the #1 single of 2006 by Channel 4's Planet Sound.
Following the promotion of his first album, in 2007 Frost took part in a sailing expedition known as Cape Farewell, campaigning to raise awareness of climate change. It was on the trip that he began writing the songs that would make up his second album.
