In addition to the recent European tour announced by The Wildhearts, Ginger and his boys have pencilled in 3 special shows for December including a solo slot by the man himself! Yes, it's Ginger's birthday celebrations on December 17th and these will take place as a solo performance at the Highbury Garage in North London.

But if you want the whole Wildhearts experience, then 2 gigs in Wolverhampton (Civic Hall - Dec 21st - £22.75) and London (Islington Academy - Dec 22nd - £23) should sort you out.

The band have recently released a new album called "Chutzpah" and a download of album track "The Only One" sold well enough to confirm that support for this very British attitude-rock band is very much alive.
