Friday 8 November, 2013: Frightened Rabbit finally hit pay-dirt by playing to the audience that they've always deserved with their biggest London headline show to date at Brixton Academy.
With an epic, career-spanning 20-song set Scott Hutchison and co delighted a lively sold-out crowd with a showcase of how over four albums, they've carved their out their very own space in music with searing Scottish alt-folk: written with poetry, feeling and aplomb without ever leaning towards cliche.
Much bigger venues than this surely await.
