Station Hotel 22nd September....What a night to rock!
Stonepig played a fantastic gig to an enthusiastic and just absoloutley brilliant Station Hotel crowd on Saturday night.
All the new tracks were nailed to with in an inch of their lives - and were so brilliantly received by the rocking crowd.
Davo wearing his "lucky" chicken s**t trainers played some awesome face melting solo's - unfortunately breaking a string on his beloved Les Paul and tradgically destroying Angus' prized Les Paul (which Davo had borrowed !!!!!!!)
In a statement afterwards Davo said "Maybe these trainers aren't so lucky!"
He added "Maybe they are the fabled trainers of success through adversity"
We heartily agree because what a brilliant success this gig turned out to be.

Upper Chute Beer Festival 2007 - The festival run continues in electrifying form
Wow, Wow, wow, what an awesome crowd turned up to this gig! unfortunately the weather forced the event indoors but it couldn't keep the Cross Keys locals, 'Pig gig regulars and Beer Fest Go-ers away.
Even when the power of the 'Pigs took out the electric supply - the crowd still stuck around! (they couldn't go anywhere anyway coz the village was out too!) - and then witnessed the first ever Stonepig Punk/Rock by Candlelight set when some of the power had been returned. (I heard a rumour that the village was without power for 14hours!)
What an energetic dancing crew we had up in front of us! (thanks Ali & Co.) It made me tired just watching them - please come to the Queen Charlotte gig this Saturday guys!
This had to be one of the most fun Stonepig gigs we have ever done.
Thanks George for having us - Please ask us back soon!
