You just gotta say yes when you're invited to guest in your home town. It may not be bluegrass but these guys really rock!

Whilst waiting for my visa to come through for my upcoming tour of the USA I was asked to guest with these guys, The Truffle valley Boys. Bluegrass so fast it's enough to make my jelly quiver....

I decided to warm up the tour with a guest slot. Good Guy Hank at Ebenezer's were a lot of fun but after my time at Jack and Barb's I was kind of tired of everyone's desire to eat me. It's not easy being a Pork Pie Prize and although this life may seem glamorous to you I can assure you that sloppy crusts and runny jelly are constant worries.

After all the excitement I decided to go to home with Jack Griffith and meet his lovely wife, Barbs, for some down time. After they served me for lunch (twice) and then put me in the oven to warm me up I thought enough was enough and I decided to go on tour. Nice people, Jack and Barbs, I'm sure I'll go back there this year.

At my coming out party I was won by five different UK Bluegrass Sessions but really the best act of the night was two young whippersnappers who also deserved a piece of me.

I am a Pork Pie Prize which likes Bluegrass. These are my adventures. I was born at the hands of a wonderful potter in Chorlton, Manchester; Joanna Hejmej (https://www.facebook.com/joanna.hejmej.9). My coming out party was on the 4th July at Bresfest 2025, in Rainford, a tiny village not so far from St Helens, Lancashire.
