About Swollen Pickles

First establish in 2006, Swollen Pickles started out as a sandpit to play around in and learn a little old school html.

In the spirit of Marty Sheargold, a place to muck around and have a bit of fun.

After a while it evolved in to a ‘blog’. Then it lay dormant for years, untouched and unloved, until the day it finally croaked.

The Resurrection

Thanks to the ‘Iso-life’ 2020 I decided I spark it back up again. I wasn’t sure what I wanted it to be, and I still don’t, but until then this is it.  

Occasionally I might post my luke warm takes on cricket, music or world events. Maybe I’ll even post something useful now and then. Just don’t hold your breath.

Why the name?

It started at as a tribute to one of my all time favourite Guitar Effects Pedals, the Way Huge Swollen Pickle. The Swollen Pickle was originally made in the 90’s before the company – Way Huge – shut their doors in 1999.

The Way Huge product line was picked up by Dunlop in 2008 and the Swollen Pickle was reissued soon after. There’s some bonus guitar effects trivia for you.
