DIAMOND HEAD's Brian Tatler joined GINGER from THE WILDHEARTS on stage on December 18th at Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton, UK.
Says Brian: "Saturday, December 18th. Ginger from The Wildhearts calls to say he is out on tour as Ginger And Fiends, playing the music of The Wildhearts, enquiring if I would like to play a song with him on Wed, December 22nd at the Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton? He suggests I learn '29x The Pain'. I say I know quite a few Wildhearts songs and I offer 'My Baby Is A Headfuck', Ginger says 'great you can come on and do both those as an encore with Jason from WOLFSBANE ( the support band) you can have a solo each and do 'Shredy Kruger'.
It's been a terrible winter here and I set off in my snow covered car passing lots vehicles that have been abandoned by the curb side. I arrive in time to meet the rest of the band and Ginger volunteers to open the show with an acoustic set filling in for Spike who has failed to turn up!
Ginger and friends hit the stage at 9:15 PM treating the crowd to many great songs including 'Caffeine Bomb', 'Suckerpunch', and 'I Wanna Go Where The People Go'. I waited nervously backstage for my introduction, having never played with this band before or indeed played these two songs in front of anyone. But once onstage I loved every short minute of it and it felt like I was onstage for about 20 seconds.
Loads of fun, see you all again sometime soon."
