From the 1950's to the early 90's, these singing Pigs enthralled
the World with their cover versions of classics from The
Beatles to Frank Sinatra .. in the authors
opinion superior versions.
The singing and dancing twins had a series of TV shows and were
part of the British Pirate boom of the 60's, along side
Radio Caroline & 'Big L' Radio London
.... They had a Pirate TV station called P&PTV on
Channel 2 & half. The location of this Pirate station was always
thought to be in a cellar under the BBC but I can now reveal it was
in fact based on board the Pirate Concrete
Barge based at Canvey Island Point,
Essex, UK.
Unnoticed before .. this 7" EP cover clearly shows our Piggy
friends doing what so many Canvey families did - play on the Ferro
Concrete Barge much to the annoyance of the local drinking
club.
Things came to a head when on the dreaded May 22nd 2003 (unknown
by the locals as "522") the Barge, veteran of the
D-Day landings, was bruitally destroyed without warning.
The image of this EP cover is for sale to help
fund the website http://www.concretebarge.co.uk/
that was set up as a memorial to this now gone Canvey Heritage Landmark.
