APRIL 2009

We are sad to announce that our guitarist and vocalist Peter Bond has departed the band due to health reasons.

Along with Steve Soer, Peter founded the Hogs back in 2004.

Peter will be greatly missed on stage but we know we will see him in the audience at future gigs.

On a happier note, we are pleased to announce the arrival of Lead Guitarist Mark "The Reverend" Kennedy and Frontman, Harp and Guitar player Paul "Dr Vanity" Sutton.

These two guys are very experienced performers and we are very excited to have them on board.

Be sure to check out the gig listings and catch us soon.......BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!!!!
