Site maintenance
By Kris | September 29, 2004
We’ll be performing site maintenance over the weekend which will include an outage on mail (ginger@thewildhearts etc) for the duration, so no mails will be received, and the website itself will be unavailable for periods. Please bear with us during this work as it should allow us to improve the resiliance of the site.
Singer Search
By Ginger | September 29, 2004
Ginger has a request that the Wildhearts community may be able to help with….
“Hey guys, I am looking for a singer.
Before anyone get’s the wrong idea, I am not leaving The Wildhearts, not now and probably not ever, but I really want to record and start up something new with a singer, with a view to starting up a brand new band.
I guess that ideally I’d like the guy to be British or Australian, but would not turn away anyone from the States or Europe if they fit the bill.
The bill? Anyone with the God given talent and charisma to floor people. I don’t care what style or image the guy has, just as long as he has an incredible voice and personality.
It’s going to take an awful long time to find the right character, so what better way of beginning the search than with a network as healthy as our own?
If anyone thinks that they have what it takes then they could always send a tape/CDR to the Po Box address on the site.
Or maybe they just know of an amazing vocalist who’s talents are not yet known? That way everyone can join in the search.
I imagine that it would be more fun if people could compare notes as to who is the most underrated, or criminally unknown vocalist that they have ever heard.
Like I said, I am not expecting to find someone overnight, so we have the luxury of time on our side.
Fingers crossed but twitching in anticipation,
Ginger”

Support at the forthcoming gigs will be from Chris Gordon (Deckard/Baby Chaos).

Also Ginger is selling an acoustic CD at the gigs which was recorded last year at Rugely. At time of writing, these CDs aren’t expected to be available anywhere else, so all the more reason to go along – and if you can’t, Ginger suggests getting a friend on the Wildhearts mailing list who is going to grab you a copy. Ginger tells us there will also be t-shirts available.
