Black Pig Border
Roll a Ferret for Jesus!
Our first CD, which everyone wondered 'Why?' about...
AND FROM 2005:
Black Pig perform the SELSTON MUMMERS PLAY on DVD!
AND FOR 2006, our second CD 'Three Sheets to the Wind' - an everyday story of
boat-dwelling pigs - full details at
Three Sheets to the Wind
and full playable, downloadable or sampleable tracks
here!
AND FOR 2010 the debut of
the rock band!
The original concept...
Early in 2002 we were a bit short of musicians for practices. So we decided to
put some of the
musicians squeezings, scrapings and pluckings on tape for nights when we
were low on
numbers, and for newbies to practice to in the privacy of their own home.
This idea grew to a
CD, and then to selling copies but what we ended up doing was a fully
professional set of
recordings with proper printed covers and payment of copyrights etc etc!
Therefore what we have now is 73 minutes of 20 tracks which include most
border dance tunes
of the right length to dance to (this includes a couple of cotswold ones
too), a few songs and the audio for the
*complete* BP performance of the Selston Mummers play!
THIS PAGE NOW WITH ADDED MP3 SAMPLES!!
(all approx 500Kb)
I have to say that we are extremely pleased with these CDs.
These are not merely tunes and songs bashed off in a hurry, but are
properly arranged, have
added special effects and the whole thing really is good to listen to. We
are already planning sequels....

As to the 'why?' from the top of the page, well we practice in an old skittle
alley and the pub is also home
to a ferret club and, er well, er Black Pig have never been known for their er,
tact, reverence or er, political correctness. So there!
By the way did I mention the photo included of a certain members tatoo? I
didn't? Well you'll have to by the CD to see which young lady's er, bum, is er,
revealed. Now
that is what I call *commitment* to the side and er, we all appreciate it!
The last track is amazing - when I got the mp3s sorted, I always intended to
send this one to John Peel. Sadly, it is now too late. RIP JP.
