Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag (No.18)
Back To 1981Choose A Different YearNext Video
Pigbag had a No.3 hit single in the UK Charts in April 1982 with "Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag"
The single was initially released in May 1981, but did not chart the first time around, so it was re-released by the band's record label the following year, and that's when it became a hit.
Although never hugely commercially successful, Pigbag had a distinctive sound that has been lauded by many critics over the years since the band decided to split in 1983
