09 Jun 03 - 07:41 PM (#964811) Subject: Identity of Artist known as 'the Pug' From: Mephisto I am trying to trace the identity of an Artist who I recall did an acoustic number on top of the pops, I think around 1970,or just after. I believe his nickname was " the Pug" and think he may have been scandinavian. Anyone any ideas? |

Pug doesn't actually sing folk songs (mind you I don't think anyone has ever explained the term to him) - he sort of grabs them by the throat and kicks the sh*t out of them. With his attack and diction, you could be excused for thinking that he was from the other side of the North Sea. |
