The Beer Pigs 30 Year Celebrations
On 14th March 1987 the main nucleus of the band as we know today, performed their very first gig in the upstairs function room at The Normanby Hotel. Along with members Ste Maynard and the late great Darren O'Brien, the band played a gig as a charity fundraiser for St. Peter's Scout Group after being booked for the event by Mick Callaghan. Here the band began to dream of what was possible. World domination and amazing music. Thirty years later we are still awaiting the moment. However, on 22nd April 2017, a big announcement will be made to an exciting new development in the complex history of the band. More will be discussed in future blog entries from that point. In the meantime, here are some rare pictures from that gig almost 30 years ago.
