about

"First up is Blue Pig Orchestra's "Gallows Hill", A tale about witchcraft, greed and hanging, it's more up-tempo than you might imagine with the subject matter. Here the fiddle supports the narrative by delivering a sense of urgency as the song drives towards dramatic climax." Neil King, FATEA Magazine

"Gallows Hill by The Blue Pig Orchestra. This was well recorded and was also an interesting song. Something a bit different for the EP and it reminded me a little of the work of Pentangle." Dave Swarbrick

We are over the moon to be included on the Passing the Baton EP. To have your writing and performance recognised by someone as iconic as Dave is great, especially knowing how classy and well written the songs that did not make the EP were. We are happy pigs!' Mike Rolland, The Blue Pig Ochestra

The Blue Pig Orchestra are a five piece Blackpool band gaining a reputation for powerful,exciting live performances, dynamic songwriting and rich male/female vocal harmonies. Influenced by folk, americana and rock and roll in equal measures, the BPO concentrate on writing exciting songs which have a story to tell.

This track has the added feature of fiddle from David Swarbrick, whose tour with Said the Maiden starts on 5th April and who will be joined by Mike and Jo Blue Pig at the Shrewsbury date at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, on 17th April.
