First of all, apologies to anyone near me at the show. I'm normally quite mild-mannered but as this was my first time seeing Ginger I had a few drinks to make sure I could get my bounce and singing on! Sorry to anyone possibly offended - a 40yr old man jumping up and down and screaming was probably difficult on the eyes and ears - my friend next to me shot me a couple of dirty looks that's for sure.
Here's what I remember -
I was up front and brought some CD's for Ginger to sign and he actually signed one during the show. He said something like, "apologies, there's an impromptu autograph session going on up here"
He looked at my Endless Nameless CD cover and said, "that's a great album"
The place looked packed and the guys from Finland to my left we're definitely into it.
I took the Ginger poster off the wall in the bathroom before the show and had him sign it after the show.
Ginger was just as cool as I imagined after the show if not a little scared as I tried to tell him how happy his music makes me, and this my first time seeing him, and I just heard of The Wildhearts a few years ago, and blah,blah,blah
