The band members in the clip are:
Oscar Verden (keys), Ollie Moore (baritone), Chris Lee (trumpet), Simon Underwood (violin), James Johnstone (bass), Brian Nevill (drums) & Angela Jaeger (playing congas in this film).

Once again, many thanks to Brian and his archive for providing this blast from the past.

Happy New Year to all Pigbag band members and fans out there!

First up is a clip from September 1982 of the band playing “Weak At The Knees” from their (at that point, unreleased) second album “Lend an Ear”.

Next up is a clip from “Bio’s Bahnhof” of the band playing “Papa’s..” live. Filmed in Cologne on October 25th 1982.

Great stuff and thanks again to Brian for sourcing those.

The video for Pigbag’s fourth single, “The Big Bean”, has been uploaded to YouTube by former band-member Brian Nevill.

Another one that didn’t see much screen time at the time of release.

Many thanks to Brian for digging these out!

Brian Nevill has uploaded Pigbag’s video for their third single, “Getting Up”, to YouTube.
I’d never seen it before, it may never have been shown on TV at all.

Directed by Mick Calvert. Assistant director and master of ceremonies Julian Firth. Shot over 20th/21st February 1982 in Cheltenham.

Brian says he’ll be uploading the video for “The Big Bean” next, another that I’ve not seen.

Gordon Wedderburn will playing brand new Pigbag tracks – “Disco Mammal” and “Alpaca Hat” in his ‘Jazz Moods’ programme on Generation Radio – Wednesday 2nd November 7 – 9 pm (Repeated Sunday 1pm).

The show might feature a couple of old Pigbag tracks as well.

Update: Unfortunately none of the Pigbag track materialised on the show. My apologies to anyone who tuned in and was disappointed. Let’s hope they’ll be in a later show.

Following the inclusion of “Sleepwalking” on the last Art of the 12 Inch compilation, ZTT are to unleash Instinct’s previously unreleased “Swamp Down’ (12” Mix)” on a second volume, imaginatively entitled “Art of the 12 Inch Volume 2″.

The CD is out on 20th February 2012, a full track listing can be found at the bottom of this Holy Moly posting.
