Frosty Moses were formed in the late 60s by two members of Birmingham soul band Traction, Danny Gallagher and Phil Savage. They recruited Gerry and Maurice Earsdon and Mick Lavender. Chris Blackwell of Island Records gave the band their name.
Tipped for big things it never quite happened for Frosty Moses but they did record this psychedelic classic People Say.
Thanks to the fantastic Bulls Head Blogspot for introducing the BMA to Frosty Moses. Lots more info here: http://bullsheadbob.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/june-brumbeat-secrets-of-hollick-and.html

The photo looks like the Midlands Arts Centre in Cannon Hill, the outside amphitheatre. I was at that show.
I thought I’d add a correction to the names given for the guitarist and drummer of the band.
These were Gerry Earsden and Maurice Earsden (not Marsden). Both originally from Hexham in Northumbria, I believe.
Following my earlier comment, I believe that the surname for Gerry and Maurice May be spelt Earsdon, not Earsden.
I believe I was there, too. Were Tea & Symphony, and Locomotive on the bill as well?
