Corsham blues rock band Corinthian Casuals are set to

lead the birthday celebrations for the town’s popular Two Pigs pub over the

Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.

The pub celebrates its twenty second birthday this year and

they have lined up the critically acclaimed young band, which consists of lead singer and

guitarist Stu Joslin, 21, guitarist Alex Mitchell, 21, bass guitarist John

Boddington, 22, and drummer Tom Page, 18, to return on Saturday May 29th

which means they will become the only band ever to play at the pub on a night

other than the regular Monday music night.

Joslin commented: “The Two Pigs is our

local and it means a hell of a lot to us to be asked to play for this historic

occasion. It’s always been our favourite live music pub to play in, and also as

music fans we’re lucky to have such a place that puts on so many great bands

right on our doorstep. So, we’d like to see as many Corsham folk as possible

there on the night to hopefully enjoy our music and to also raise a glass or

three to one of the finest pubs in the South West.”

On Monday 31st May, Midlands band .44 Pistol,

who bill their musical style as an interesting fusion of artists ranging as

wide as Mississippi Fred McTell and The White Stripes, will be continuing the

party where the Casuals left off.

Entry is free on both nights with the bands kicking off

at 9pm, and in a further birthday gesture all real ales will be priced at £2

for the entire weekend.
