The Piggies

» Profile

Originally formed in 1980, The Piggies were the pioneers of the lookalike/ soundalike age, well before most of the current crop of Tribute Bands were even born. Through constant touring, in the UK and abroad, the band quickly gained a reputation as the most authentic 60s/ Beatles tribute in Britain, with an array of vintage instruments, flamboyant costumes and an attention to detail that, to this day, cannot be rivalled.

In 2000/2001 The Piggies starred in their own production ..The Beatles Revolution Show.. which ran for 17 weeks at the Folkan Theatre in Stockholm performing to over 50,000 people. They also appeared live on Swedish national TV and radio.

The Piggies 'Classic Groups of the 60's Show' takes you on magical mystery tour from Merseybeat to The Rolling Stones Hyde Park concert of 1969, taking in The Summer of Love and Flower Power along the way. Artistes portrayed, both musically and visually, include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Monkees, Cliff and The Shadows, Roy Orbison, and many more.

» Testimonials

This was a really excellent show - a slick and impressive production with almost 50 of the best hits of the last century and all played live by four terrific musicians, playing a hometown gig at the peak of their talents.
- GRIMSBY AUDITORIUM

They are a coverband, but a coverband who really become the artistes they are impersonating. Only the most wonderful classic songs were performed during the almost two and a half hour concert.
The last half hour of the show the audience were all stood up dancing, screaming, clapping their hands and singing along to the songs. The evening was full of nostalgia and the audience got to re-live many precious old memories.
PARK THEATRE OREBRO SWEDEN

From the moment that these four talented musicians stepped out of a full-scale replica of Dr.Who’s Tardis, complete with original sound effects - it was clear that this was no ordinary tribute band. Using the word "Ultimate" for any event of this kind may seem risky, but this show certainly delivers the goods - their uncanny impersonations if 1960s icons such as The Beatles, The Monkees, The Searchers, Gerry and the Pacemakers and The Rolling Stones were nothing short of perfect.
