The end of the world being played through a supermarket PA.
The Gingers came to life in an office in London in 2004 after a late night drinking session down The Hatchet on Garlick Hill, when some crazy fool came up with the idea of starting a band called "Ginger Ringpiece."
We played our first gig at the Hatchet a few months later to critical acclaim (very critical!). After playing an arts fair and an impromptu acoustic performance in Hyde Park, we thought it was time to take on the rest of London.
We finally dropped the "Ringpiece" moniker when we entered a Battle of the Bands at the Rock Garden, in Covent Garden. Winning the first heat was a great moment for us and we've had so much support from our friends and other bands in London that we've never really looked back.
Since then we've played at GlastonSherry festival and some of London's best "pub circuit" venues: The Hope & Anchor, the Watershed and The Caernarvon Castle.
IF YOU CAN FIND US A VENUE WHAT WILL TOLERATE US IN THE LONDON WE WILL PLAY THE BASTARD. BUT WE DON'T WANT NO SAVA-LOI'S OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL EM. GRAVY!!!
Thanks for your comment. Due to the mayhem I only caught a bit of your set, but enjoyed what I saw. I hope to meet up with you again before next year as we are planning a trip to the big smoke!
