DAVID DEVANT AND HIS SPIRIT WIFE
Following their sell out show back in December 25, David Devant and his Spirit Wife make a welcome return to the Hope and Ruin.
Though known most widely for their 90s call to arms Ginger, and their TV superstardom, on the Jack Doherty show, there is so much more to be drawn from the otherworldly experience that is a David Devant and his Spirit Wife performance.
Not just glorious glam infused classic pop anthems, Ginger, Radar or the masterpiece debut album Work, Love life, Miscellaneous. A whole treasure trove of musical and visual treats await. The recent Cut Out and Keep Me album being up there with the best work of their career...........................................and it's all done by kindness.
