Full Ahead for Pig! Blodwyn Pig
uncredited writer, Beat Instrumental, October 1969
MY FIRST encounter with Blodwyn Pig was hearing their single, 'Dear Jill', when a friend came round to tell me about the wonder group. I knew of their existence, but having heard nothing, had no opinion. 'Dear Jill' changed that; at the time I thought it was probably the best single of the year and had no doubt that it would be a massive hit.
