Pig-man: ~
Is one man singing gritty, home grown, foot stomping Jazz, Blues, Gospel & Ragtime songs; accompanied by his Ukulele, wooden stomp-block and trusty Kazoo.

His music, style and persona has been described as the â??Darker side of ragtime!â? and developed from a chance meeting with Duncan Wilcox (The Jake Leg jug Band)

He wrote over 30 songs in an authentic 1920â??s & 30â??s style with the intention of supporting their act prior to their live performances.
He quickly went on to performing this material as a solo artist playing venues in the United Kingdom.
His strap-line â??The Darker side of ragtime!â? hints at his distinctive voice, musical persona and anarchic performances.
His wordy lyrics and rustic playing style paints a lively and atmospheric portrayal of characters and places visited through-out his eclectic life.
Influences include: William S. Burroughs, C.W. Stoneking, Quentin Crisp, Leon Redbone, Tom Waits, Vivian Stanshall, Fats Waller, Edward Lear, Rudyard Kipling, Salvador Dali and Hieronymus Bosh.
