Well folks, the year rolls ever-onward towards Winter, so we’re stocking a few new items in our webstore in an effort to keep you all toasty warm until Spring arrives.
We’ve got a new slouch beanie, gloves and scarf, pictured – all featuring the Smileybones logo – available separately or in a cash-saving bundle; an embroidered waffle zip hooded top with fleecy thermal lining, and a rather smart looking body warmer, although I believe the fashionista calls it a Gilet these days, with internal lining, a hood inside the collar, and all sorts of drawstrings and zippered pockets.
Following many requests, we’re launching both a Laptop/messenger bag, in black, with a padded inner pouch which will keep laptops (up to about 16″ screen size) safe from bumps, and a regular vintage
messenger bag in a fetching shade of olive green. Both bags feature the band name and Smileybones logo emblazoned on them.
On the music side of things, we’re pleased to be able to bring the recent double-CD reissues of Earth Vs The Wildhearts, P.H.U.Q., Fishing For Luckies and Endless Nameless – complete with all the contemporary B-Sides, and for all you audiophiles out there who missed it the first time around, we now have the white vinyl double LP edition of 2007’s self-titled The Wildhearts.
If you didn’t grab one before, there are also a (very) few skatedecks left – so if you want one, don’t hang about because there really won’t be any more of that design once they’re gone – along with the rest of the usual stuff, much of which is still available at sale prices, so click on the Store link, head over there and see if anything takes your fancy, what with Christmas rapidly appearing on the horizon…

Today sees Ginger release 10, a 16 track compilation album covering the best of the first ten years of his solo work.
Writing of the release in his blog, Ginger says: This album represents ten years of recording outside of The Wildhearts family, but for me it represents even more than that. This album tells the story of the first steps I took alone in creating an independent personality for myself as a writer and as a father.
The artwork and tracklisting, including two fantastic brand new tracks exclusive to this release – No Way Out But Through and This Too Will Pass – are as follows:
- Sonic Shake
- Yeah Yeah Yeah
- How Hard Can You Make It
- Mother City
- Any Way But Maybe
- Black Windows
- Church Of The Broken Hearted
- Drinking In The Daytime
- The Man Who Cheated Death
- This Is Only A Problem
- When She Comes
- I Knew You
- Girls Are Better Than Boys
- Jake
- No Way Out But Through
- This Too Will Pass
10 is available as a CD or Download from all the usual outlets, on Round Records, and can be ordered now direct from Cargo.
—–UPDATE—–
Trying to pick just 14 songs from Ginger’s back catalogue for the retrospective album ’10’ was difficult.
So difficult in fact we decided to add another 10 songs to it and give you them for FREE! Follow the link to download the extra tracks in pretty much any format you could desire: even FLAC.

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.
The last birthday show sold out within weeks – and for good reason. This is a one of a kind show.
Indeed, this one’s nearly sold out now too. So if you don’t want to miss out, get in quick and grab your tickets from Ticketweb.

We’re pleased to announce the arrival of some new merchandise, and to celebrate we’re having a bit of a SALE!
We finally see the return of the classic Smiley Bones in T-shirt form and, after scores of requests and failed chases around eBay, we also have the Smiley Bones metal lapel badge back. This is a 2” deep badge that comes with 2 spikes with butterfly clutches so ideal for attaching to thick garments such as leather jackets!
On top of this, we will be revamping and adding to the merch range over the next few months, so to make room we are having a sale on loads of the old stuff. Once it’s gone it’s gone so head over to our webstore and grab a bargain while you can!

Ginger had two glorious appearances at the Download festival last weekend. Firstly with the Michael Monroe band headlining the pepsi max stage. See the download site for Michael Monroe photos
The next day in a welcome diversion from the unexpected rain, Ginger and 8 other acoustic guitar wielders set about rousing the crowd with a succession of Wildhearts classics in a format dubbed ‘guitarmageddeon’. The crowd was in fine voice and Ginger commented afterwards on Twitter: “Back from Download. Had WAAYYY too much fun. Acoustic set was an AMAZING experience. Thank you for being so wonderful”
The full line up was as follows:
- Adam (No Americana)
- Dave Kerr
- Rich Jones
- Billy Morrison
- Ginger
- Jase Edwards
- Chris Catalyst
- Dav (No Americana)
- Tom Spencer
- Denzil (drums)
See the following YouTube links for a few samplers of the mayhem.
There are also photos by Mark Lathem
The setlist included:
I Wanna Go Where The People Go
Suckerpunch
Someone That Won’t Let Me Go
Red Light Green Light
Nita Nitro
Sick Of Drugs
TV Tan
29 times the pain
Geordie In Wonderland

Well guys, it looks like the show of support to the Download organisers paid off!
As well as the already scheduled appearance with Michael Monroe on Saturday 12th, Ginger is to headline the Jägermeister acoustic stage on Sunday 13th June.
Ginger will be hitting the stage at 7.20pm – accompanied by Billy Morrison, Chris Catalyst, Jase Edwards and Rich Jones (so far…) – for a half hour set of Wildhearts songs that he’s determined will be “the loudest, most OTT acoustic gig ever, or we will have failed. And we don’t fail. Right?”
So you’ve heard the man: bring your best singing voices and expect mayhem and surprises!
Tickets and more information are available from the Download website.
