POG

Pog is a 6 piece folk punk collective from Brighton. Driven by violin, cello, accordion and whatever else we can find, we occupy a strange bit of land somewhere between the politics of anarcho punk and the toe-tapping tweeness of Belle and Sebastian. We’ve spent the last 23 years playing everything from living rooms, libraries and cafes to squatted universities, gardens and Glastonbury (only once though).
