About Me


The James Hogg Band known locally as The Hoggs
are a hard rock band, tight, powerful and very popular
playing all over the country for many years.
They held an unbroken record of playing every wednesday
night in Swansea's "Cardiff Arms" filling it for two years solid
this was a very popular place to go on wednesday nights,
sadly the Cardiff Arms is no longer with us
it was burned to the ground about two years ago.R.I.P.
