Wembley = amazing. Every song brought people together, made us dance and sing and have the best possible time. And it’s not even just teenage fangirling – there were six year olds and sixty year olds alike, all enjoying Frank because his songs mean something to everyone. This is the soundtrack to our lives that will still be epic and relevant in years to come.
It’s a ridiculously brilliant achievement, going from tiny Nambuca gigs to selling out a massive fucking arena. Well done Frank. And well done to the fans that got him there, sung along tonight and helped me have the best gig in years. Thanks.

I think I had too much over-priced Wembley beer.

Aha omg. I think I’ve lost my voice. And I hurt all over. I think I’m getting old. About half-way into the evening those seats were looking pretty attractive from the standing section…

BUT YES. I’m still a little over-excited from last night and selling out Wembley Arena is an amazing achievement for someone who essentially… doesn’t get talked about on TV or in the newspapers. All the mums and dads I saw with their kids weren’t just there to keep an eye on their offspring, but they were totally rockin’ out too and having an ace time (even that one old guy who almost elbowed me in the face 5 times (bloody tall people with poor spatial awareness;))).

Of course, I don’t think any of them were rockin’ out as much as Frank’s mum. Officially the second greatest mum ever (after my own, obvs).

Oh God. I hurt.
