Fruupp

Fruupp

Fruupp has been played on NTS shows including Aaron Angell, with Decision first played on 29 April 2017.

Fruupp was an early 1970s progressive rock band formed in Northern Ireland in 1971 that developed a fan base throughout the UK. They released several albums, including Future Legends (1973), Seven Secrets (1974), The Prince of Heaven's Eyes (1974), and Modern Masquerades (1975), were relatively popular, particularly on the student scene, and as a support group (Queen supported their tour including a live gig at Wembley Stadium in 1974) but never quite made into it the big time.

Most of the artwork on their album covers was created by bassist/singer Peter Farrelly.

Stephen Houston left the band in January 1975 and was succeeded by John Mason, who can be heard on what would be their final album, Modern Masquerades, produced by King Crimson founder and multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald, who also played saxophone on it.

Although the band was working on the fifth album (to be entitled "Doctor Wilde's Twilight Adventure"), poor record sales of their earlier album meant Fruupp broke up in December 1976. While rumours circulated at the end of 2006 of a possible reunion tour, this did not materialise.
