Using indie pop as his canvas, piglet juxtaposes muffled lo-fi productions with frank and intense introspective lyrics. On 2022’s seven songs, the singer-songwriter and producer shares his mental health anxieties and condemns the waiting lists and medical mistreatments he and other transgender individuals routinely face. This advocacy takes centre stage at piglet’s shows, whether he’s on tour with Porridge Radio or performing at fundraisers for trans healthcare.

Piglet

£12 (inc. fees) - Corsica Studios - 7th December 2024

piglet is the solo project of Irish songwriter and producer Charlie Loane, born and raised in Belfast and based in South London.

'certainty' is the second track to mark piglet's return since his 2022 'seven songs' EP, after 'panic' with Jemima Coulter was released in June 2024. Both singles bring together the distinct musical worlds of two artists from the trans community. More solo material from piglet will follow later in the year.

The 'seven songs' EP addressed the injustices of British healthcare for trans people in "it isnt fair," and in "to you tonight," a celebration of queer identity. These songs were captured in a live session by NTS Radio of piglet's expanded 9 piece band featuring members of Goat Girl and caroline.

The EP and follow up single “building site outside,” also a deeply personal exploration about the trans experience, led to piglet being selected as part of The Face's One To Watch 23 series and profiled by notable publications So Young and Loud & Quiet. Additionally, his music videos, created in collaboration with trans filmmaker Harv Frost, have supported fundraising efforts for the We Exist charity.
