    For me this was the best Frapp gig ever!

    Also loved meeting up with other board members. This whole trip is just like a dream. Pinch me.

    Agreed. Felt surreal and nice to put faces to names (or rather usernames)

    Looks and sounds great, and it sounds like everyone had a good time.  Really getting excited for tonight's gig now.  Just a few questions of you fine people, if you don't mind:

    - Was there any merch or new album on sale (I guess not but thought I'd ask) ?

    - I've not been to the venue before: in order to get a good view, what time would you suggest getting there ?  It only holds 2000 people apparently, but it looked pretty packed on those pictures.

    ^ merch wise there was just a ltd run of prints that are numbered and signed but I thought they were a bit cheap looking tbh

    Its a small venue so all views are good. I wandered in at 20:40pm and got three people back from the front.

    Take water... :)

    WOWWOWWOW! what can i say, what a fantastic gig! just amazing. i cannot wait to get my lug holes properly wrapped around the new album, some wonderfully lush beautiful tracks. i felt a bit emotional at moments!
    alison seemed pretty nervous for the first couple of tracks but settled down and had a little chat at moments, she seemed in great humour and happy :) 
    great to meet/re-meet so many lovely people, it was so nice at the end to just be able to look at someone and know they were feeling the exact same way i was.
    only took a couple of piccy's cause there were signs up not to and i really didn't want to put alison off!

    re: merchandise... they had some limited edition art prints for £30, that was all i saw. it looked like the album picture.
