Ginger & Friends

We’re hearing from Rich Jones, that the Birthday gig will have an early start tomorrow, with doors at 6pm and Ginger on-stage at 6:30. This is because of a 10pm curfew at the venue.

So please let people know to get down early in order to catch the full set. Note no support bands for this one. More news as we get it.

We are delighted to announce that Mr Ritch Battersby will be coming out of retirement to get behind the drum kit for two special Ginger & Friends Festival shows.

Ritch will be back behind the kit at Stormin’ the Castle in Durham on September 3rd & The Norfolk Spectacular on September 4th. Ginger & Ritch will be joined onstage by Willie Dowling, Random Jon Poole & Rich Jones. Tickets are on sale now.

Ginger will be playing a FREE gig at The Asylum in Birmingham on July 6th as a warm up for this year’s Sonisphere Festival.

Ginger will be joined by ‘Random’ Jon Poole, Rich Jones & Denzil, and will play both an electric and an acoustic set. Support will come from Exit_International and Vincent & The OnePotts to entertain you in between sets.

There are no tickets – just turn up and enjoy the party! Doors open at 7pm and the night will finish at 10.30pm. We have a capacity of 500 so should be able to accommodate everyone. Please note this is strictly an 18+ gig.

Remember this is a FREE gig, so get down early & bring your friends with you for a very special night. There will also be an exclusive Asylum t-shirt available just for this gig.

Ginger has been announced on the bill for this years Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth.

He will play the Bohemia stage on Saturday 9th July, on stage at 7.25pm. Joining him will be ‘Random’ Jon Poole, Rich Jones and Denzil, and between them they will be rattling through a set of Wildhearts material to entertain you all.

Tickets are available from the Sonisphere ticket store here.

Once again we will be celebrating the birthday of Ginger Wildheart on the 17th December 2011 with a very special Ginger and Friends performance in the capital.

Previous guests who have joined Ginger on stage include Paul Cook (Sex Pistols), Chris McCormack (3 Colours Red), Nathan Connolly (Snow Patrol), Olga (Toy Dolls), Ray Mcveigh (The Professionals), Tom Spencer (Yo Yo’s), Rich Jones (Black Halos) Conny Bloom (Electric Boys), Willie Dowling (Honeycrack) Alex Kane (Antiproduct) and many, many more.

Who will be at this years event? You’ll have to be there to find out.

Warning: Last years event sold out 3 months in advance!

Tickets are on sale now from TicketWeb.

Well, we did warn you to be quick!

Congratulations to everyone who managed to get tickets for Ginger’s Birthday gig, and commiserations to those who will miss out because the show has now sold out.

Preparations are already well under way, and It’s looking to be pretty special. No clues though: you’ll just have to wait and see what’s planned.

See you all there!

Ginger’s birthday bash returns to the Relentless Garage in London on 17th Dec 2010, following on the success of last year’s amazing event.
