For a first gig I thought it was really good. There are some things we need to improve on but I dont think it was lacking in energy. We played for 90 mins and I think in hindsight we should have kept things a bit shorter and snappier, but apart from that... Well you cant please all of the people all of the time...

While wages have been going up for most jobs over the last 20 years, I still regularly play gigs for £30. Even if we get a record out we're not going to be able to live off it, unless it goes ballistic, which is unlikely. The music business (like banks and other industries) is not set up as a level playing field. It is set up to make some people very rich and have some people struggle.

In the 80's Chris H, Chip and Roger started with us but then left the band, while Kofi, Oscar, Brian and Angela joined to replace them. Four people (Chris L, Ollie, James, Simon) were in it the whole time. This new line up is Chris L, Ollie and James has played a big part in writing the new material. Add to that Kofi's involvement and Mark was our very first bass player in Cheltenham. So, what more do you want? Some bands get back together after a few years but the gap in our case was 28 years. Things are bound to be bit different after that length of time. John you’re either a troll or misinformed.

I'd be interested who you think would need to be in the band to justify it being called Pigbag. You are entitled to your opinion, and I already responded to your previous comment.

Good luck as there seems to be no original members of pigbag when these songs were conceived they might as well called themselves the rolling stones or the beatles there was a total lack of energy and originality and it must of been a bit embarrassing. yet another money making exercise on the back of someone else.
