Bradford gig

[sidewinder]

It's been a while since I've seen the Ginger one and I'm still waiting for Yoni to arrive. After the Keighley gig was recently cancelled I despaired that I'd get another chance to see him play again anywhere in Yorkshire. Thank Gawd he added Rios to the tour. Shitehole that it is, I've always enjoyed his gigs there as he seems to put everything into it whenever he's on stage. After reading reviews of the Blackpool and Notts. gigs, I can hardly wait. Anyone from here going? When GATSC played there last I met some great guys n gals from over Scunthorpe way; you going again?

[Hull-Heart]

Me and a mate are coming across from Hull, Staying with my dear old Nanna in Seacroft

[Andy Santiago]

Not totally sure if I'm going yet,will find out later today.Here's hoping!
If you see a lad with dreads and an Akercocke 'Blast Fof Satan' t shirt in Rios,then I made it!!

Gig at Rio's was CLASS, not the greatest of turnouts but it was a Tuesday night...

EXCELLENT to hear Yoni stuff live (can't drink you pretty was AWESOME), was pretty surprised to hear Drinking in the Daytime, enjoyed it's heaviness immensley...

I'm beginning to find I enjoy solo shows more and more. Wildhearts shows seem to be reliably predictible, enjoyable but usually pretty predictable, the setlists often have the same songs, just in a different order... but the solo shows are always a surprise...

GREAT WORK LADS!

PS - Yoni ROCKS!

It was a sorted do last night. Surprised there were so few as well. A great mix of stuff as per the reviews of other gigs, but Can't drink you pretty was awesome. Took along a mate who's never seen Ginger/Wildhearts/ SG5/GATSC etc., and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Hats off to RJP, Denzil and Jase - they were just as magnificent as Ginger. Dunno about anyone else, but I thought Robochrist was excellent! Bought his last 2 cd's much to the chagrin of others queing up to buy it. Sorry guys.

BRADFORD GIG WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT.....

Thought the roof was gonna come Rios at some point.
GDW are so addictive, great start to the night, RJP is brilliant got everybody jumping. Robochrist was different. Ginger was magnificent, he seemed to love every second, Love Yoni and it was great to hear a few from his new album aswell as SG5, Wildhearts, the crowd were jumping and singing the atmosphere was electric. I think the musicianship is amazing, Jase gets me every time I hear him and Denzil is bloody awesome.

elecric atmosphere?

was i at a different gig to everyone else? the audience were half asleep
and they didnt really seem arsed about the band coming back for the encore

ginger was fucking excellent as ever, anyway

[RochdaleMike]

I agree with you lemo. The atmosphere was crap! Maybe everyone was in awe of a genius at work? Maybe a larger crowd would have made for an 'electric' atmosphere? Or maybe every single gig at Rio's has a crap atmosphere? I've been going there since 1992 and can't remember many gigs being 'electric'!
Anyway...Ginger was fantastic as usual! So were Jon and Jase, and what a drummer Denzel is!
Why this band don't get the recognition they deserve is beyond me.

So why do you reckon his home in the North East has been missed out the last 2 tours?

It does seem weird. Was the Legends show the last NE gig?

[Col]

No, we got an acoustic gig at Academy in June, Legends was in March.

I thought the atmosphere in the front two rows was good, but everyone else behind us just seemed to be standing around and not really getting into it. But that seems to happen at a lot of gigs, I'll never understand why some people pay to go to a gig then stand completely still at the back.

Anyway, here's my photos:

Thats what Brighton was like. Also there was a white line painted on the floor which I don't think had any purpose but everyone seemed to stay behind it like there was an invisible wall there.

Nice pics!
