Press Reviews
"Ginger Whine were fucking top notch. Songs were great. Very professional.
Johnson smiled, Kaney was a quality drummer as well, poor old Spice was a
bit low key due not being able to drink but as professional as ever, new
singer was excellent a real talent" - www.WFCSC.com
"Are you supporting Metal Mode then?
No!! We are not worthy!
Fantastic entertainment tonight by Ginger Fucking Whine. Top set, even with
an impromptu 'Scum' despite the fact that Rah Rah forgot his own lyrics !
Very entertaining indeed." Megaphone Mick of Metal Mode
"Cracking night. People were exceedingly drunk. Pissed Swedish birds rolling
on the floor. 17 stone quadropaz lurching around on crutches knocking into
people. Spicer kicked the shit out of his bass. Kaney in the audience." Grim - SoundsXP |
