Frank Fiddle Four

Nottingham beat group circa 1964 with a lead violinist.

Frank Simmons: Drums
David Simmons: Violin
David Cooper: Rhythm guitar
Julian Coleman: Bass guitar

Getting support from the Rev. John Tyson at St. Stephens Vicarage in Sneinton they played pop and RnB. The Rev. John Tyson was a prominent figure around Sneinton in the fifties and sixties. He can seen on the “Teddy Boys Help Church” Pathe news article form 1959. I’ve added some “stills” from it here.

Could Julian Coleman possibly become Jet Coleman who played with The Slant in 1967 & Hogweed in 1970 before becoming a roadie for Terrapin in the early seventies.
