Photo of Me & jiggs Me & jiggs "We had a great time last night. We had Me & jiggs play at our going away party' and what a night to remember. We had a barbeque in the yard' .. the band came out to play an acoustic set of traditional tunes' ..all the young children gathered in a circle and danced to their hearts content. After about a half hour the band went inside where they had already set up for the performance .it was lively and there was something to suit everyone. The band had their own lights which brought the venue to life. It was unforgetable' we both really enjoyed it as did all of our friends."

He was absolutely brilliant and had the whole crowd up singing and dancing, he really made our night. His voice was superb and he had a wide variety of songs.
