Biography
The Big Gun from Ayrshire, Scotland, recorded only one single, "Heard about love", in 1986. After having it played and praised by John Peel, the young band including Andrew O'Hagan (later author of acclaimed novels Our Fathers and Personality), played a few gigs and then promptly split up, convinced they had played their part in music history out and only really had one good song in them anyway. The band was, according to O'Hagan himself, named "not very brilliantly, after 'the big gun factory' where Arthur Seaton works in the novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning".
