  • Cherry Ghost is an English alternative/acoustic band led by Simon Aldred (born September 1975 in Bolton). Cherry Ghost began in Bolton in 2005, first as an alias for Simon as a solo artist, then slowly morphing into a full band. Their debut album, Thirst for Romance, was released in July 2007 and entered the UK Album Charts at #7. The band has supported Amy Winehouse, Polytechnic, Fields, Snow Patrol, The Spinto Band, and Crowded House, and was handpicked by Manic Street Preachers as their support band for their December 2007 tour. James Dean Bradfield, lead singer/guitarist of Manic Street Preachers, said that Thirst for Romance was his favorite album of 2007. In September 2007, Cherry Ghost was nominated for "best new act" in the 2007 Q Awards, although they lost to the Coventry-based band The Enemy. In 2008, Cherry Ghost won an Ivor Novello Award for "People Help the People" in the category of Best Contemporary Song. On 22 October 2007, Simon stated on the band's MySpace page that they will begin recording their second album in Berlin, Germany in 2008. Then on 23 March 2008, Simon announced through a MySpace blog posting that the band are at the writing stage, and have 7 songs which have been distilled from 50+ tunes. Recording for the second album began on 3 January 2009. Simon mentioned during a gig on 15 September 2009 that the new album should be ready at the beginning of 2010.
