Around the World With Mr. Chi Pig

by Chris Walter ...

"I was standing around waiting for the Nostrils to play when one of the smaller guests came over to say hello. With his black brothel creepers, spiky black hair, dark blue socks, skin-tight latex trousers, and layers of studded belts and wristbands he looked as if he'd stepped from the cover of a UK punk album. I don't remember if he introduced himself as Chi Pig or Ken but I've always known him ... Read more
