This is also Irish Music...Believe it or Not

On Saturday 28th May 2011 I was at the Pigstock Fest in Killinchy, Ireland. While checking out the best this festival had to offer I decided to head to the Main Stage to check out The Burnt Reynolds but there was a problem. Everyone seemed to have disappeared. The band put a call out for everyone to move forward. After a few minutes of little to no movement they declared that the song was for the two randomers sitting in the grass.

Where was everyone? After about ten minutes of wondering I came across the Engine Room where a huge crowd had gathered. I was intrigued so I stood and waited with the rest until a band appeared.

Now, before I comment further this is how these boys came out to the gathered fans:

Real Irish Music


Irish Film company Redcap Productions specialise in music videos for Irish bands and have produced this mind blowing video from Pigstock 2011. An awesome compilation of clips from the best in local music, such as ASIWYFA, Mojo Fury, Farriers, The Bonnevilles, Gacy’s Threads, Kasper Rosa and many more rocking the various Pigstock stages set to 'Easy Meat' by LaFaro. If you are part of a local band who are looking a music video, these are the guys to call. Contact details below.

A Typical Irish Music Festival


Once again Festival season is upon us and the Irish circuit is getting better. This weekend it was the turn of Killinchy, Co. Down which was hosting it's relatively new Pigstock Festival. It is a Festival still in it's infancy but to attend you would never know. A fantastic line up of the best in local music, Pigstock does a wonderful job giving the chance for unsigned acts to play to the people.
