A bunch of top-tier musicians playing for a bunch of kids, playing wholeheartedly as if it was 100K festival crowd, it's truly heartwarming

💕Shout outs Strazzie 😎🙏 FFD is part of the wallpaper, the furniture. The theme tune to our WellingTown 😎

[@nikismith1871]

This was just beautiful ❤❤❤ I raised my kids on FFD from 2001 onwards, it was our family bed time music. My boys are 22 and 23 now and we still celebrate FFD , they are a massive part of our family traditions ❤! I love that the kids in this are sooooo into it! And Freddy’s are giving it like they are playing to a sold out arena !!! Coolest band ever!!! ❤️‍🔥🔥🤙
