Who or what is Metal Pig ? Good question and one that cannot be answered in one sentence.The story of the Pig all began some years ago when fed up with having to travel miles tohear decent music, Piggy decided to bring it closer to home. Hiring a room in Chester winebar he presented half a dozen or so of his own form of rock nights enlisting the help ofgood pal and partner Waymo along the way. Word got around, The Pig was born and was soonencompassed into a new sty at the now defunct nightspot, Loves, For a three year period anda period that'Ll give many people many great memories for many years.
Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and Christmas 2003 saw the shameful transitionof Loves to yet another trendy wine bar. For a short while the Pigs future looked bleak butthankfully talks with the management of R.B's Nightclub resulted in Metal Pig securing aweekly Wednesday night residency that continues to be enjoyed to this day.
But that doesn't answer the question. Essentially Metal Pig is a tribute to everything theworld of rock music can throw at us, music that we all love but which is seen by themainstream as crude or offensive. In many ways Metal Pig is also a family. Friendships havebeen forged over the years at The Pig that'll last a lifetime and each week sees thecreation of new ones. However, the answer to the question what is Metal Pig? is probablybest left to those who attend, the piglets themselves..Piggy (February 2005)
