Ginger is a nice bloke. He lives around the corner from me.Easily the band I have seen the most is the Wildhearts ... often filming them, but not always. I must have seen them getting on for 50 times, not just in the UK, but also in Spain and Finland.
Another band I've seen gawd knows how many times would be The Nightingales ... lost count, but then I did manage them way back and have had a close (and working) relationship with them for 4 decades.
Saw Wasted Youth plenty when I was younger. Probably the bands I've seen most in the last 30 years would be The Cribs (lost count) and The Manics (I'd guess 10 to 15). Seen Working Mens club quite a lot in the last 3 years.
As does ritch the drummerGinger is a nice bloke. He lives around the corner from me.

Definitely a very talented artist and I know about the demons. Yep, Ritchie has lived in York quite a while, his kids went to the same school as my two.@ChrisChefYork He is. Has his demons but he is fundamentally one of the good guys. We go back a long way. Same with Ritchie, though I thought he lived nr Selby. Well he did last time I went to his house, which, to be fair was 2007.
Ginger's talent as a solo artist is woefully unrecognised. Most of it has nothing to do with the Wildhearts' genre at all. If you want to explore the very diferent Ginger, look for stuff like "Holiday" or "Jake" from Yoni. And the 555 album is just packed with gems. Lots of very surprising stuff.
I've seen Ladytron 0.5 times, I was out of there at the intervalI went to see terrorvision 7 times as a kid. Never beaten it. Ladytron and cocknbullkid 5 times is the closest I've come. Pretty impressive seeing cocknbullkid 5 times considering she only did one album I think.
Same.Mike Peters / The Alarm over 50 times. Going to see him on Thursday
