Pigstock the Movie

During the early to mid nineties Denbigh was enjoying a revival of live folk and country blues music at venues such as the Folk Club at the hope and Anchor pub on Vale Street. The nights of music there had seen acts as diverse as Traditional Irish pipe players to country blues players from local bands such as the Giro gypsies, Redhill, Terminal. and other local artistes such as Penny Neal, Brian Liqourice  Locking,Steve Aspey and many others. The nights were usually free and songwriters and artistes from across the area would show up to perform at one of the friendliest nights around. Beer would flow voices would soar and many would remember the times for years to come… During December of 1995 a show was put on at the local theatre, Twm or Nant. Following on from the success of this show Brothers Huw and John Evans together with John Sellers, Alan Thompson, Matt Miller, Philip O`loughlin and others from the Denbigh Folk Club would take the idea and run with it in the form of an open air event originally called Denbigh Music Festival which would eventually become Pigstock. This website aims to tell the story of the event from its humble beginnings thru to the 2002 / 2005 Pigstock Festivals and beyond...
