singer /songwriter ofThe Wildhearts .The band was not formed until "after" the recording of the album "
Black Leather Mojo ", and despite the name only ever had 4 members. The name itself, according to Ginger, came from his trying to reassure himself in an uncertain time of his life; as he considered silver his lucky colour, and five his lucky number, he figured surrounding himself with luck would be a good move.Albums
