The Wildhearts

had an email off ginger today and in reply to a question i asked he said and i quote "WE AREN'T PLAYING THAT MUCH THIS YEAR"

sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Can't say I'm that surprised - I'd imagine they're likely to spend a large chunk of it writing, recording and releasing.

... which I'd be happy with

Fingers crossed for a new album in the summer and the traditional Xmess tour later on in the year

Yeah, no real shock there. I espect writing, recording and a few gigs in nov/dec time with the odd over seas show before then.
