This is excellent news. I wonder if they'll do any other gigs or if it's just this one?
Would be great to see them again.

Would love to see them also - got there about 20 mins too late when they played Reading Festival!

They're album was amazing - only saw them once supporting SG5. Surprised they didn't become huge they seemed to have some record company hype behind them at the time. Hopefully they will play a few gigs - support the wildhearts?????

Saw them headlining at Highbury Garage and I was blown away, thought it was amazing!

Good to see that even with a new WH album in the pipeline, Ginger, Ritch and Scott are all busy with other material - can only add to the energy in the camp!

Was that the 'debut' gig where they gave away the free t-shirts? If so we were at that one too. Mr P still has both t-shirts because there weren't any girly ones.
Cor, I really hope they do more dates. *crosses fingers*

According to his Rock Radio blog CJ is also keeping himself quite busy too!

Dunno - I got no free t-shirt. Dang, where's my free t-shirt???

I did get a free tape of them from Kerrang! though, I think it had two tracks on it, one being Drugs and Girls, I don't recall the other one.

I'm gutted I missed the free t-shirt. Boooo

Sheesh, Ritch would be 'Cream-Crackered'!

Was thinking that myself.. but I reckon Ritch could probably play through 2 setlists!

Death to the Infidels!

I was at that gig. I remember Chris asking me afterwards if I got a free T-shirt, but they were all gone by the time I got there.

I heard a whisper a few months ago that 'something' might be happening in November. I though the album was a bit hit and miss but they were great live and I'd love to see them again.
