The Wildhearts

If you went to any of the GATSC shows or Ginger solo shows please feel free to post your reviews here.

The good, the bad and the u-u-u-u-u-u-ugly!

Great gig at Cannock tonight. Shame they didn't play longer, even though the venue told them they could play extra...

The slimmed down band still rocks as hard as they used to... Don't know why they cut The Man Who... though.

Incidentally, Hannah's a lucky girl, cos wildDan's a great kisser....

So Ean, details...was it crowded...how was the sound...and did Wilddan use tongue?

It was crowded enough to feel full without being unbearable, and it was pretty sweaty even though we tried to get Vix to open the window. The sound was damn good for a small venue and my ears are still ringing cos I was right at the front by Ginger the whole time. Sadly nothing new. Thought they might play the new song.

Wilddan didn't use tongue 'cos he's a gentleman, but I'll be pissed if I get beard rash tomorrow..

Oh, and hi to the guy who said he wasn't on the message board but should be - if he's made it here, anyway.

was a top gig as always

and they didnt play the new song as its a solo song and not a gatsc song

shame they dropped the man who cheated death though

slimmed down - what was the line up?

Great gig. We got there real early (6:30) from Kidderminster so we caught the sound check which was intersting. Had a chat with Luis, Random and Vix (genuinely nice people) and a long chat with John from Superreal (who seem to be developing a deserved following).
Cut down band is Jase, Conny, Ginger, Jon, Luis, Vix and Denzel (same guy who drums on "Balck Windows" I think).
Bit dissapointed no new song but as was said above it was a GatSC gig. "The Sweeney" theme was dropped into one of the instrumental passages (forget which song !).
Thats about it really - hot, loud, sweaty, ears ringing, sore throat from singing, excellent as ever.
PS thanks to Sutty for the poster !

Great gig last night, even if it was a little on the warm side! Haven't felt heat like that since the SG5 gig at Joseph's Well in Leeds!

Some pictures wot I took

Also, a video clip of Pump It Up, which they played in their "covers" section! You'll have to excuse the quality of the sound - I was stood right in front of the speaker stack so it was a little loud...don't even try talking to me this morning cos I won't hear you!!

Pardon!!!, Speak up I can't hear you. That was one loud gig.

Brilliant fun. It was the 1st time my wife has seen GATSC and she was blown away.

I'll post some pics in a while.

andy_b, great photos. You musta been right by us cos the hand in some of the photos belongs to Mrs Kite ! None of me thank God. I wonder if WIlddans pics came out cos he had an accident with his camera memory chip I heard - hope they're OK

Holy cow it looked like a sauna in there? So how much weight did everyone lose?

Sweaty Vix....sure the guys weren't upset about that eh?

I was in front of the right hand speaker stack (from the audience's point of view), and I do remember trying to time my shots around a hand! Think I remember someone - maybe you - taking the owner of the arm back from the stage at one point...was that you?

Here are my shots from the left side of the stage
