Trotter - it's a long story


Pink Floyd (our heroes) made pigs fly accidentally in 1977.

Not to be beaten, our very own musicologist and all round boffin, Frank Pavy, decided to construct a life-size pig to entertain us and reprise the moment when an inflatable cartoon pig actually appeared on stage during a rock gig.

He flies everywhere

You'll see Trotter appearing in many of our artworks as well as in 3d format in the shape of Frank's papier-mache model seen above.

Audio mayhem

How loud is loud? Well according to Frank, our H&S guru, descriptions of specific sound levels in the official decibel scale include "A pighouse at feeding time' and 'Unsilenced air discharge' What better titles for our studio albums?

Pigstock

We jumped at the chance at playing at the Royal Oak's summer party, Pigstock, (Bishopstone near Faringdon) a couple of years ago. Great pork-based snacks and lovely beer, we love this place, you will too. 2015 sees us back. Pigstock is not to be missed.
