....anyone going to see them in various places in December? I'm going to the Newcastle show - I can't wait. Hoping they play a load of their old favourites and, of course, Geordie in Wonderland

penski · 24 Oct 2007 at 15:26

I'll be there. As an aside, as of last week, Ginger lives in New Yoik!

No... Can't be bothered to see them in London, I will go if they're playing in New York in late February though

I'll give you a tap on the shoulder if I see you

I'm not very scary though, so don't be afraid

penski · 24 Oct 2007 at 15:57

I am. Be afraid

Shields boy done good

He better not forget his roots though

penski · 24 Oct 2007 at 17:02

Don't think that's even possible. From what he was saying, he's wanted to live there for ages and now seemed the right time. He's back for the dates later this year and next year...And some other fun things are in the pipeline.

Probably the best band in the world.

Motorhead play the same song over and over.

The first time I ever saw Motorhead was at Top Of The World Stafford and the audience was made up of rockers, punks and teddy boys.
Nobody seemed to know what category to put them in.

Crikey, that's some endorsement. :eek:

I have to admit, I'm a latecomer to The Wildhearts. I mean, I heard I Wanna Go way back when it was on a compilation rock album I bought......I dunno, in my teens sometime and never really thought more of it, until about a year ago. Been slowly completing my catalogue over the last 12 months - all done now, well, pretty much

Last geordie gig they opened with Vanilla Radio and EVERYONE immediately started pogoing.

Ginger can do know wrong; one of the greatest songwriters the world will see.

I lived right next door to him until he moved.

Ask her if he said goodbye to a big guy with a beard as he left the estate he lived on. She was in the Jeep with him.

I don't think Ginger has ever wrote a bad song.
For me The Wildhearts are like all my favourite bands rolled into one which include Slade, T.Rex. the Sweet, Slayer, Metallica, the Beatles, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin etc etc.

They didn't play that the last time they came to Newcastle Carling Academy... but I was more gutted about the lack of 29x The Pain. Heh, this will be the third WH gig that I've been to since their "last gig ever" in Scarborough

Pookie Bear · 11 Dec 2007 at 12:22

Only a week to go.

All I have to do now is search my flat for the super-dooper secret hiding place where I stashed my tickets, but can't seem to locate :eek:

Northwind2 · 11 Dec 2007 at 20:30

Glasgow Academy for me. Quite excited... Hope they play a bit more new material this time though, talk about a missed opportunity... After the Glasgow show last time Ginger was complaining about playing all the old songs, and the fans were complaining about not getting Slaughtered Authors. Best band ever? Definately a contender.

PS, Almighty tour in January :cool:

The Wildhearts....
