Frost* Christmas 2011 AGM - The Peel, Kingston. 16th Dec

[RacingHippo]

Awww that's a shame.
Just have to hope that there's still Frost*age to see in 3 years' time...

May have to reconsider going if that price doesn't come down

Mike.

I'm ticket-less at the moment, but hoping a kind soul will bless me with one. If so, Newport is only a short diversion for me. And I'll have an empty car. Except me.

The offer is there.

Cheers mate I've found out that the cheaper Advance Single tickets don't go on sale till 12weeks in advance even though they allow you book tickets 13 weeks in advance so I should be able to re-check the price next week sometime

I'd be more exited if train tickets from here to Kingston weren't so expensive currently £72 is the cheapest available which is really annoying as the month before I have return train tickets to Gatwick Airport from here that only cost £29.

Mike, is that the price of a ticket from your's to Kingston, or from your's to the nearest big train station that happens to be in London? Whenever I get the train down from Hull, I get a ticket just to King's Cross, then get one of those Zones 1-6 travel cards, which is about £8, from the machines in the station. The price of a single/return ticket from Hull to Kingston is far more expensive than a single/return to King's Cross and then the travel card. Sorry if I've missed something glaringly obvious, but it was just a thought I had.

That was the price to Kingston but it wasn't really any more than the price from Neath to London Paddington, the price should come down next week when advance single tickets go on sale

The buzz on this thread has shifted from sheer relief to logistics...  wind the wow factor back up, else we'll all be exhausted by December.  Tell me about live Frost* , you lucky lot who have had the chance to find out for yourselves....

Utterly, utterly bonkers with a large helping of genius thrown in.

I'm not particularly old, but I have been to a fair few gigs and festivals and seen plenty of bands live. Of all of them there are 2 I will remember the most. One is the first proper gig I ever went to (Linkin Park, before they really became massive). The other is Black Live Machine at Derby last year - just a great night all round!

Oooo only 3ish months left to go!

Oh, my, are you in for a treat

The Frost*mas gig of 2008 was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best gig I've ever attended (if I forget the "Magician's Assistant" part).

It was exactly as JiB described: Utterly, utterly bonkers with a large helping of genius thrown in.

Because it's a small do, it feels very.... cozy, I suppose. The guys are so very relaxed on stage - they don't need to be tense because a) they're all so damned good and b) if they do screw up, it just adds to the hilarity.

On that occasion, Dec's voice was so shot by the end when they were about to do a progged-up rendition of "Merry Christmas Everybody" that Jem just asked if anyone in the audience wanted to do it - which was how we were introduced to the highly-talented Cosmic Lawnmower

You don't get that at a Rush gig. Or Transatlantic. Or... well, anything really.

Yep: Genius, unhinged.

You'll love it.
You can find several videos on YouTube that give a good hint. I've put up a few, search for "waitepb" and the related links should take you to others. Also check out the Esoteric Evening clips, much to enjoy.

Ta, good reminder, so, went back to u-tub
Toys,  hit play....within 2 seconds....Cue the kids... "Mum's playing Frost again...." (So?)

My 8 year old is in a major mong cos he can't come to the Peel too...i know how he feels.  I had my gigging wings clipped cos I wanted to see rory gallagher when i was smaller...

[RacingHippo]

I quite deliberately haven't told Pygmy Hippo ( as I don't want to dissapoint him!

[Mouse]

Oooooooooooooooooh, I've suddenly got that very excited shiver about this again. You know, the one that kicks in usually when you're only about a day or so away from the gig. Is it December yet?  

[Mikey]

Is it December yet?  

Almost

[Mouse]

How about now?
