Ladies and Gentlemen, it's only 10 days until Ginger starts his UK solo tour, but fear not, there's still plenty of time to secure your tickets for what will surely be one of this year's finest nights out.
It's a full electric tour taking in material from Ginger's myriad solo and side projects and, while he's giving the Wildhearts tunes a well earned rest after recent touring activity, there'll still be more singalong, dancealong and generally have-a-great-timealong tunes than you can shake a stick at!
Says Ginger:
"My band will feature Jase Edwards on guitar and vocals, Denzel on drums, Eddie Eyeball (2 Skinny Js) bass and vocals, Dick Decent on piano/keyboards and vocals. I'll be playing a selection of solo material from SG5 onwards. PLEASE don't come expecting Wildhearts songs, I'm afraid we aren't learning any as there is just WAY too much solo stuff to learn"
Support on all dates comes from Tony Wright and his band Laika Dog. It's the first time that Ginger and Tony have toured together, so be sure not to miss it! You lucky, lucky Leodensians are getting the excellent Eureka Machines too, while Dudley gig goers will be treated to Vix & The Kix.
Other supports will be added to the individual event pages when we know who they are.
Below are a full list of dates, all known ticket links, and Facebook event pages.

Cheers, and see you down the front!
Ean.
PS. Apologies for spamming the entire list with the JB's gig the other day. Turns out the bulk invite option doesn't have as many options for targeted delivery as you'd think (i.e. none whatsoever). Sorry.
