GINGER WILDHEART Sometimes things just fall into place and you get to interact and interview one of your all time heroes. This is one of these occasions, thanks to Ginger Nuts writer Kit Power's powerful and amazing article: KEEP IT UP SON, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON, and the truly mind blowing response to it we took the cheeky chance and tagged Ginger in some tweets. Ginger true to form, being one of the coolest and friendliest musicians retweeted our posts, and kindly agreed to an interview with us. Some of you may not know this, but he is a huge horror fan. For those of you not familiar with Ginger, he is probably best known for being the driving force behind one of Britain's greatest rock bands The Widhearts, and the unbelievably perky power pop rock bands Hey! Hello!, whose song How I Survived The Punk Wars is perhaps the most honest and helpful song about being a musician ever written. His fan-funded triple album 555%, so named from how much it exceeded the original funding target, sent shockwaves through the music industry, earning the Classic Rock ‘Event of the Year’ award in the process. Recorded in three sessions with separate groups of musicians and comprised of 30 songs of a whole range of styles showcasing Ginger’s songwriting range. Track by track voting from 555% fans led to the creation of an abridged 12 song version, 100%, for commercial release. HORROR AUTHOR INTERVIEW: S.L. GREY
