Please discuss, which trax?

Several of you want to help promote Piglet's events - start here, please encourage people to use the blog, it WILL happen HERE FIRST!
I hope that a few who didn't supply an email or number might find their way here, seeing as they'd like to DJ, but I don't know who U R! (End Rant)

I hope that we might have a DJ tryout night, seperately to the monthly core event, giving hour slots (and practice time) to potential DJs. Maybe make it a casual thing (expect silences and mismatching trax, go-on prove me wrong).

PM to cinamon girl - what you can offer - Yes, actually I really would like to know! lol!

Everybody, give me contact, send pictures (preferably of yourself), I wanna know who you all are!!!

Spiderwebs started a thread on manxbands forum, asking 'Piglet's - anyone go?'

So naturally I assured Tom, that I did indeed turn up!

Now, who else is missing? Please if you were there add comment to this blog, and at manxbands forum - link to Spiderwebs post - http://www.manxbands.co.uk/index.php?topic=1790.0

Thanks, ya'all

Well, what did you think?

Well, I had a good time, hope you did too!

Thanks to all of you who came along, even to the guy who knocked over the ticket desk (after all you did buy us more beer - so a public thankyou and official Piglet pardon is due).

Earl is keen for a repeat episode, so I will keep you posted when we get the dates settled.

Thankyou to those who completed the questionaires, the input will be made use of. Feedback has been positive, and I can say from what we've heard, bring some CDs with you, I can't guarantee requests, but we'll see what can be done!

Did you have fun? Let's hear what you think...

It's back

by piglets @ 27/10/2007 – 01:31:56

Piglet's events are back! - After 6 years away from the scene. Myself (Piglet), and my (now) wife, Ruth have a 3 year old Daughter, Amethyst (Amy), and have spent time reflecting on Piglet's in the past, and decided it's time to do Piglet's again. It's been a hectic months work putting it together but we've done it, Piglet's - re-engineered.

We now have our own equipment, and have attempted to produce a feature rich show for you all. There's Pro-lighting, smoke and lasers, and a few event related gimmicks, it is halloween after all.

The first 'second wave' event is themed for halloween and this is responsible for the all new logo, inspired by a pumpkin picture I found whilst browsing for material to produce the posters.

We hope to make the development of our events pro-active and want you to be involved in it's development. We are catering to a niche market, and hope to rekindle the spirit lost after the unfortunate closure of the original Bushy's. Broadly we want to create a 'home' for the alternative scene on the Isle of Man.

Development plans will rely on everyones input, and we have many ideas of our own, these will have to remain under wraps for now, until we can see what shape things are taking.

In the meantime, let's see what fun we can have tonight, and expect pictures here soon.
