Back at Donington Park for another appearance at Download Festival, we caught up with guitarist Woody Weatherman to discuss the band's latest record, navigating major line-up changes, fond memories of first playing the legendary site with Metallica in 1995, and a relentless touring schedule that shows no signs of slowing down.

Backstage at Download Festival, Ginger Wildheart is in remarkably high spirits. Just months after revealing that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, the Wildhearts frontman is not dwelling on mortality but embracing life with an infectious optimism that is as disarming as it is inspiring. Joined by his beloved dog Maggie, Ginger reflects on the overwhelming support he has received, the perspective his diagnosis has given him, and why he genuinely believes he has never been happier. With new Wildhearts album 'Northern Spirit' on the horizon and a career-spanning birthday celebration ahead, he talks candidly about resilience, proving doubters wrong and his determination to keep creating music on his own terms.

Few debut albums capture a moment quite like '1977'. Three decades after its release, Ash are still celebrating the record that transformed three Northern Irish teenagers into one of the UK's most enduring rock bands. As the anniversary tour gathers pace, we caught up with bassist Mark Hamilton at Download Festival to reflect on the album's lasting legacy, the thrill of early support from heroes like Therapy?, unexpected Star Wars connections, the highs and lows that followed, and how '1977' continues to resonate with audiences old and new. A life less ordinary; Eamon O'Neill.
