There will be, as always, some fans who go alone to shows - including me.
The wife finds Ginger to be an enigma, shall we say - we've seen then together 5 times, wildies, SG5 and Ginger solo, but she's declined the opportunity to go to the London show this time around.
Personally, have drunkenly blurted as much to the man himself, but the opportunity to see the greatest songwriter of all time in an intimate setting is too great to miss.
Will be at the London show.
enjoying the set of fabulous songs, brought to life in a live scenario, begging for more by the end no doubt -
and attempting to redeem myself by asking for a coveted shake of hands, and trying to keep my stupid mouth shut, in a bid to express some dignity and gratitude towards man and band that have brought so much pleasure to my ears over so many years.
Whatever the attendance, not one show on the tour will be a 'quiet night' with this much quality on show, and such dedicated fans who will happily sing along -
I will personally guarantee that no-one will leave the London show in any doubt that they will have just witnessed the execution of some of the most wonderfully imaginative, soulful, personal, uplifting and enjoyable music on the face of the planet.
Even if I have to verbally batter them into submission until they accept the truth.
Roll on May, cannot wait to see the man in action (yet) again -
and The Man Who Cheated Death is still my fave Ginger crafted song of all time.
Won't be able to contain myself should it be played this time around.
Will prob be silent and jaw-slackened if it makes an appearance. Jake also would just stop me in my tracks.
Ginger, we love you, we may be as schizophrenic as you are, but our love is neverending - yours gratefully, Mike from Luton.
