Gingergreen have been playing together since we all met for the first time at a Halloween party in Edinburgh in 2000. To start with we just played our guitars and bass and sang a lot. Then we discovered that corner tucked away at the back of the music shop where they keep all the little things that make funny noises, and since then we've been getting a bit carried away.
Over the years we have played at lots of places around Edinburgh, including the old Bongo Club, Whistle Binkies, Bannerman's, Subway, Medina, The Beanscene, the Cafe Royal, Cabaret Voltaire, the bandstand in Princes' Street Gardens, and in a field in Liberton, where we were second on the bill to a goose herding competition.
We have also played a lot at Edinburgh's open mic nights, especially Acoustic Underground (back when it was wedged under the stairs at Whistle Binkies), and Out Of The Bedroom (at the Waverley), and have been helped no end by all the nice folks that organise and frequent them. A few of our favourite singers and bands from the world of Edinburgh open mics and gigs have MySpace pages too: fuzzystar, Lindsay West, Flowers For Algernon and Scuff, for example.
And Kathryn has her own page too, where you can find out where she will next be playing in London and hear some of the fancy recordings of her fancy new songs.
