Ginger and the sonic circus

Last night we went to the Recue Rooms in Nottingham to watch Ginger (Wildhearts)and his latest project. Awesome. Very odd gig really, we missed the first support, which from reading reviews is a shame, but such is life. The songs were an odd mix of very Wildheatsy stuff and really random tracks, including one that could almost have been the Pogues. The Sonic Circus itself was an odd mix, a saxaphone lent a little bit of Ska to the sound at times, and on lead guitar was Connie Bloom (sp?) who i last saw is Scarborough playing for Hanoi Rocks, they also boasted a rythm guitarist of Wolfsbane fame, a girl who did a little rap during one of the tracks and another girl on backing vocals and tambourine.
I like this!! The Wildhearts have apparently split and if they never reform then I shall be content with Ginger and the Sonic Circus.

I posted a couple of photos here
