Man I wish more people were into the Longpigs
I'd love a reunion
On and On is fuckin epic especially after a few
In fact after a few they are the perfect band
So yeah share your longpigs love

I did like the debut, certainly one of the best efforts from lesser Britpop lights. It had a certain twisted urgency to it and some good hooks that elevated it above the rest of that slurry of mediocrity that was dumped on us in '96-'97.

Oh, Richard Hawley. Never knew that. Saw them once, at Brixton Academy, sandwiched between Starsailor and... ah, let me think... Muse? No. Hang on, it'll come to me.

Wait it might have been Muse

Hi there! I can exclusively reveal that there is absolutely no chance of a reunion. Sorry.

(Crispin's now some sort of music business bigwig and was a Change UK European Parliament candidate, Richard's doing his own stuff as is Simon in a more lowkey way. The latter is no longer married to Kate, who is as lovely as ever. Their original drummer Dee died a couple of years ago (Richard didn't go to the funeral. Those two had fallen out in a big way, although to be fair I don't know if this was the reason for his non-attendance) and his replacement Andy and his equally sweet wife Ali now run a successful studio/venue on the outskirts of the city.)

This is your showbiz reporter in Sheffield. Thank you.
