Onstage Nightmares interview: Ginger from The Wildhearts talks about Download festival

Ginger Wildheart has seen more than his fair share of wild times playing gigs over the years, and when we asked the Geordie rock 'n' roll raconteur about his craziest festival appearance, he was happy to oblige with a story.

Remember it well - was there!! Ginger catching the egg was brilliant. Shame they didn't get to play much as they are one of my all time favourite bands. Love you Ginger. Xx

i was there for that gig when Ginger caught an egg that was thrown stage-wards- great!

[@gregwalker428]

I was there. The Wildhearts saved that festival as the rest of the weekend was a pretty poor line up.
