The Wildhearts

Maybe not the most vital topic ever but I've often kinda wondered this. I'm a none-more-average 5'10" and when I've seen Ginger in the flesh he variously looks tall to fucking gigantic. I know he's at least a six-footer but he looks almost 6'3" sometimes, although this seems too big at other times.

I suppose there's probably crazy rock footwear influences too and I only ever walk past him in dark venues when I'm pissed.

Anyone think they know? Anyone actually care?

no, and no. sorry.

I'm only about 5' 8" so everyone is tall to me.

im six one and hes just about the same size maybe a tad smaller.

Cheers. It just confuses me cos I have a few friends who are about 6 foot to 6'1" and Ginger sometimes seems a fair bit bigger than them.

Well at least you cared enough to tell me you don't care.

He is taller than me, but not as tall as a really tall person. Does that help?
It would depend if he was wearing the SG5 boots, they are very tall indeed.

If he was any other height, would he rock more or less?

anybody have any idea which body part he washes 1st when he gets in the shower

Oh christ its turned into an issue of smash hits with all this quality questioning

'Outta my jersey, then wash my soles...doodeedoodeedoo....'

Sorry.

Anyway, we all know he likes splashy happy fun time bubble baths with Ritch, not showers.

Just about everyone is taller than you darling Niece

I'm 6'2" and when I said hello and shook hands with him at The Archer in jesmond a few years back, he seemed quite shorter than me, but wasn't it noted heer a while back that he said in an interview that he has a really bad posture these days from having heavy guitars hanging off him for years??

I would say he is around 5' 10" - 5' 11".

I was chatting to him a couple of weeks back. and I doubt he has grown or shrunk much since then.

I agree. I'm 5'10" and I do not look up to Ginger (physically anyway!)

So we're saying 5'10" to 6'1". I'm 5'10" and the one time I've stood for a length of time chatting to him I thought he was about 6', yet other times seeing him from a bit further away he's looked bigger than that. Hmm.

I'm sure he said once when forming some incarnation of the Wildhearts or some side project that he wanted 6 foot monster rockers and no smaller, or something.

That must be why Mark Keds didn't last very long.
