Wildhearts 'Cheers' Played On Radio 1 This Morning!!!

[geordierussell]

Here's the drill for tomorrow (Nov 6).

People text the Chris Moyles show on 81199

or email chris.moyles@bbc.co.uk

And say something along the lines of "can you play that Cheers song you did yesterday - it was mint, I'd love to hear it again."

Or "what was that Taxi song you played yesterday?"

Another good place to spread the word is at the Chris Moyles message board, which can be found at.

As much as it galls me, I txted in.

Bloody hell within seconds, it's been played. 8.07

Now that is service. But that knacker Moyles played air drums and made the CD jump.
But he did play it again though.

[Jeeze]

...and again this morning yes : ) I think a re-release on the back of Revolution would be a good idea.

I also think that someone who has contact with Ginger had better get in touch ASAP so that the opportunity is not lost.

He could start off with a phone call to Moyles and then take things from there.

There is just one teensy flaw in this plan... Cheers is owned by Gut, so a double A side with a Round release is unlikely.

However...

It doesn't need to be an official release. The song is already up for download on iTunes (amongst others probably) so all it needs is a a few well placed links on the WH.com, the MySpaz etc, and someone to bung something to Moyles about where you can get it.

The Ginger thing's a good idea though. - as might be sending him the new album (It's probably in their jukebox thingy, but if it looks like you're paying him special attention it can't hurt)

..there's also Colin Murray's black hole that plays all sorts of bizarre stuff. I'm sure there's probably something entertaining you could email to him..

funnily enough my mate texted to say that they were going to be played this morning

sadly i was too hungover from last night to switch the radio on

[burgerrock]

i've just noticed that the wildhearts have added 'cheers' to their myspace.

They could re-record it with the new line up and could be the first single from the new "covers" album.

I think this is the most positive people have been for a long time in terms of actually promoting the band. What a random bit of good fortune.

It's not chartbound yet though. Fingers crossed!

[gimme]

heres a plan, everyone download it off itunes as soon as you can and it will get into the chart

[Ean]

Someone's started a thread about it on Moyles' messageboard if you fancy contributing...?

I'm still waiting to see if my message gets allowed by their mods.

[Wrenaldo]

Could there be any better coincidence than Cheers getting airplay during the build up to the covers album?!

Are the Wildhearts about to become the english Me First & the Gimme Gimmes??

[MikeH]

I've made the purchase over Itunes despite already having this song in about four other formats, lol. Who knows, if only a handful of the "8 million" Moyles listeners were to do the same, we could have a surprise in the charts...
