THE WILDHEARTS' GINGER Announces Tour Competition
December 16, 2010, 13 years ago
THE WILDHEARTS have issued the following update:
"Be a friend... by playing with GINGER And Friends!Ginger is looking for someone at each show on the forthcoming tour (not including London) to get on stage and perform 'Vanilla Radio' with the band.
You'll be playing the 'high' one string riff in the song on a 'one string' guitar, specially customised by Rich Jones and Tom Spencer. At the end of the tour the band will decide which show had the best performance and that person will be given the Ginger And Friends guitar to keep!
So if you have a ticket, and think you can play the one string high riff to 'Vanilla Radio' with Ginger And Friends, then get in touch.
The competition will be open up until 5 PM on the day before each show (so entries for Sheffield (Saturday) need to be in by 5 PM on Friday, etc.), and at that time 5 people will be chosen at random and invited down to audition at soundcheck, with the best performer being asked to get up on stage for the show that night. Soundcheck will usually take place at around 5 PM, so make sure you can blag an early finish if you're coming from work.
Please send your name, age, email address, phone number and which show you are attending to comp@gingerandfriends.com with the subject line "[show location] Vanilla Radio Comp".
