Commented THE WILDHEARTS frontman Ginger: "We are going to put together a killer bill, and we are also hoping to film the London show for a DVD.

"What we want to know is... what songs would YOU like us to play? We want you to send in your requests for songs that you'd like to see us play live.

"Obviously, with DVD being a visual medium it would be nice to have a set list that promotes band and audience performance. The choice, however, is yours.

"Pick wisely, and try to think of an entertaining set list, as opposed to 'the B-sides you'd most like to see performed but will ultimately bore the crap out of the viewer and/or most of the audience '.

"We await your decisions with, to be honest, dread.

"And also a bit of excitement. This should be fun. And if not? We won't do it again!

In other news, THE WILDHEARTS have begun compiling material for an upcoming documentary covering the band's history. "What I need you guys to do is find me footage, footage, FOOTAGE," Ginger writes on the band's web site. "I am looking for specifically:

* Live footage from the first years of the bands formation ('89 to '93)
* Television appearances (especially 'The James Whale Show')
* Live footage of interesting events on stage. You, the fan, can be the judge of what constitutes an 'interesting event' (anyone with stuff like guitars being smashed in anger, Danny falling asleep onstage in Newcastle, and that kind of thing will be treated like royalty).
* Live footage from every tour that we have ever done.

"Credit will of course be given to anyone whose footage we use on the documentary, as well as a free DVD. There is no financial reward, just satisfaction that you assisted in the most kick-ass documentary on the shelves.

"Please compare notes regarding what is good and what is not. I do not want hundreds of video tapes arriving at my door. And would you e-mail me before submitting anything, so we can agree that what you are sending me is what I really need."
