Ginger Wildheart has postponed his upcoming Ginger Birthday Show on December 17, 2015 and the upcoming Hey! Hello! UK tour due to him recently being clinically diagnosed with acute depression. The postponed London show at the O2 Forum on December 17th has been rescheduled as ‘The Ginger Wildheart Show’ at the same venue on April 1st 2016. The remaining shows are being rescheduled for 2016. A statement was issued on the matter:

‘Gutted to have to postpone the Hey! Hello! tour, but the band have been super supportive and I’m very proud to part of this beautiful bunch.
I’m gutted to miss seeing Dirt Box Disco play too, as they’ve recently become my favourite band and I hope they’ll join us for the rescheduled dates in 2016.
But mostly I’ve been blown away by the fans response. I’m very lucky to have such supportive people in my life. Thank you for being so kind with your concern.
We’ll get this beat, and I’ll see you next year when I feel better.
Have a cool yule, y’all.
Gx’

Ginger Wildheart Crowdfunding Songs and Words Book

Posted on by

gingerwildheart

Ginger Wildheart is currently writing the Songs & Words book, which forms part of his brand new PledgeMusic campaign. The book will chronicle the stories behind his songs, spanning from the early days of The Wildhearts, to the record-breaking release of 555%. But in order to complete one particularly notable period of time, we’d like you send in your questions about the songs released as part of the Singles Club back in 2001. This saw the ambitious plan to release a 3-track single every month for a year (which may sound familiar to those of you who are G•A•S•S• members!). Sadly, the project didn’t see its way to completion, but it did give birth to 18 new solo tracks (3 of which were finally released on the A Break In The Weather, which is still available on iTunes).

Ginger is including stories behind the making of these songs, the feelings surrounding the singles, the disappointment felt when the idea was shelved, etc. Please send anything you’d like to know, and see written about in the Songs & Words book in to questions@gingerwildheart.net.

As a reminder, here are the song titles that came out of this project:
I’m A Lover Not A Fighter
Don’t Let Me Die Lonely
Thailand Uber Alles
And This Time I’m Serious
Re-inventing The Wheel
Blinded By Absinthe
Virtual Love
Energetic O
Where Did Everyone Go?
Cars & Vaginas
You, Me & B.T.
Not Bitter, Just A Little Disappointed
The Saga Of Me & You
Naked Innocence
A Better Man
The Saga Of Me & You
Naked Innocence
The Dying Art Of The Chorus

Having spent part of 2014 as a member of Hole frontwoman Courtney Love‘s touring band, the very prolific Ginger Wildheart has confirmed details of his 50th birthday shindig, to take place at London, Kentish Town HMV Forum on 17th December 2014. The venue was the scene of The Wildhearts first London headline show as an album band twenty years ago, the very same gig where Ginger wore a white tuxedo in honour of his mother’s birthday, and the video for ‘Suckerpunch’ was filmed – obviously a venue close to the Geordie in Wonderland’s heart!
