Market Harbour

Vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, lyricist, story teller and story maker, Ginger is eclecticism personified. Whether it's producing some of the best loved British hard rock music with the institution that is The Wildhearts, touring with the Scorchers (Jason Ringenberger's band) as Ginger and The Scorchers or solo albums such as 2007's critically acclaimed "Yoni" or original stints in the Quireboys and The Throbs, Ginger is a unique UK artist to treasure

Ginger is set to add to the legend with the release of new solo album "Market Harbour". Impossible again to categorise the album is 21 songs/segues/ and sixty minutes and twenty four seconds long. With no break in the music throughout the album, and packed with a weird and wonderful array of samples and loops in addition to instrumentation, the record is a showcase for the diverse talent of Ginger.

From the classic Ginger-esque opener and first single "Casino Bay" (a mid tempo stormer awash with hooks) to country n western meets "Hats Off To Roy Harper"-esque skiffle instrumental "The Ninns Of Mourning", from the Roger Waters infused "House Of Moths" to the punked up three minute blast of "Overeasy", from the Burt Bacharach lilt of 67 second instrumental "Tenants" to the beautiful soaring instrumentation and melodies of "I Knew You (An Amensis)", from the do-wop pop of "Couple Trouble" to the rolling toms of instrumental "Eye Of The Rotunda" and the slow build epic album closer "Shatterproof" with it's haunting refrain of "How Can You Kill Something / That Will Not Die", "Market Harbour" is a wildly ambitious album that only someone of Gingers creative talents could pull off as successfully as he does.
