long long ago Del formed a band affectionately known as "2 Dogs at It" which slowly evolved into the 4 piece ensemble of Sergeant Pipon that we know today. The core of the current line up have been together for over 20 years now and have a collective age of 303 and a half years which is some sort of record but we have forgotten what it is now…..
The band play their own original numbers which are all written about the unusual little Island of Jersey. All songs are based on a simple set of guidelines:
keep it original
keep it live
keep it acoustic
learn three or four chords really well
if you cant play it after 7 pints then its too complicated
The band have released three CDs to date:
Sergeant Pipon's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Rise and Falle of Hedley Stardust and the Spider Crabs from La Mare
Nevermind the Le Brocks Yers the Le Sech Pistols
