Ginger tour: Acoustic or Electric?
Posted: 15th Jan 08, 18:33Ginger is setting upon an acoustic tour of the UK in February. That's fantastic stuff but would you rather he was doing the full 'electric band' with a drummer and amps and everything?

Posted: 15th Jan 08, 19:39What about a gig with a mixture of both?
Posted: 15th Jan 08, 19:54yip geordierussell----its always best to break up an electric show with some laid back material --- but to do this you need to have the full electric show in the first place----thats the problem-----it seems that this tour is gonna be acoustic only-----mores the pity
Posted: 15th Jan 08, 21:48I really enjoy his acoustic performances though as it really strips the songs down to the bare bones and lets them shine. There's a real magic to those gigs.
I don't harp on about Ginger being the best pop-rock singer/songwriter of the last 20 years for nothing and the acoustic shows give the opportunity to see exactly why I say it.

Posted: 15th Jan 08, 23:01Full electric for me - but I'll go to either.
The so called 'acoustic' gigs aren't really that anyway - the guitars are still plugged in and sometimes Ginger is actually playing an electric guitar anyway. They are still great entertainment though!

Posted: 15th Jan 08, 23:30totally 50-50 split. they're so much fun for the crowd and the band. why can't we have both although it is obvious by the numbers that turn up that the acoustic/solo shows aren't everyones cup of tea, but me i love 'em
Posted: 16th Jan 08, 14:33I think you'll find Denzil on tour with The Mission throughout Europe, late January and Febuary..... Sorry
Posted: 16th Jan 08, 14:40as in playing drums for them?

Posted: 16th Jan 08, 15:21Fully acoustic with RJP and Donny's finest,Hot Steve would be my preference.
The acoustic shows always seem more laid back and fun and Ginger interacts with the crowd a lot more than at Sonic Circus style gigs.
And with acoustic shows there's no chance of that lass doing the 'beatboxing',what the hell was that all about??

exactly what i was thinking. it wasn't so many years ago that many people thought ginger wouldn't be performing again. and now people are having a good old moan just because he's doing an acoustic tour!
i personally can't wait for the acoustic dates. intimate gigs are the most fun.
