Playing in the band for some 500+ gigs spread over 16 years our kid singer Robert Lewis has decided after much deliberation to hang up his hedgehog boots. Whilst the band is truly saddened we wish him all the best in his new ventures with various bands and of course All Star Rock School,Suffolks premiere music school (that’s worth a few quid when your rich and famous) On rock school the hogs are always available to teach the older students how to drink and play instruments should that lesson appear on the curriculum. Now It would be cruel of me not to remind you of some of his adventures over the last decade and a half ish. He has fronted our band in some exotic locations ranging from wix in Essex (one of our favs) to Grimsby where he was introduced to the finer arts of hunting and gathering northern style for an unplanned bbq late at night. Also his visit to Ipswich library on a rare day off and a nonchalant look at a book on the great pyramids of Egypt which eventually led to a surgical reconstruction of Giza on his skull, a testament to his dedication. Whilst a full time member of the hogs rob has also taken on other projects and also become somewhat of a superstar on the local fun fair circuit. The sport of duck hooking (not to be confused with our guitarists sometimes slurred misrepresentation of the word hooking)a little known pastime has accelerated robs exposure in a niche market,after appearing in the centre fold of duck hooker monthly for a trio of months.Unfortunately the target audience were to short to reach the top shelf in major newsagents, and Most sales took place on Sunday market sites and specialist on line platforms. The idea of tattoos and its relationship to rock n roll stardom and affects on adoring fans came to rob late in his hogs career. However we were especially touched when his first was a piece inked in a little known Celtic writing form of our drummers initial. That aside we really do wish our friend rockin rob Lewis and of course Becky all the best in their adventures in the years to come and thank him for being rob. BUT DONT WORRY VENUES AND POP PICKERS the hogs now entering 30 years as a band plan to continue and entertain you as only they know how. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us.
