Brewhouse Closed Down the end of the pig?

Blimey the Pig was taking over my life and then wham....the Brewhouse closes overnight and the pig is no more....no more raising money for the Brewhouse, the receivers are in...Too late there.  No more pigs....but there is still a lovely children's book to buy and hopefully a good song will come out of the ashes.
How strange to immerse oneself in a project and just as it is launch it is halted, must be how the Titanic felt!  except without the tragedy and a film starring Kate Winslet although I have hope.

Must go
It's my 60th

This Pig is taking over my life.


And now Bob Croft has written 'The Polden Pig' song, a little ditty that explains the story of the pig, he is hoping to get more musicians involved and for the song to be sung at the brewhouse auction in april, but for now listen to the song here with Bob singing and me, yes me on backing vocals!
The Polden Pig bring rides on.
