Bio:

Big Sleep existed on and off over a 13 year period, during which time they recorded many demos and played many gigs. The original trio recorded the flexi disc in 1985. Raymond Robinson left sometime after, replaced by member(s) of The Keep. Robinson's cousin Kenny Armstrong (bass) played in a later version of the band, and Raymond himself recorded again with Big Sleep in later years.

Terry Hooley financed the recording of "Saturday Blue" by a 3rd incarnation of the band in the 90s, but unfortunately the planned single release never came about.

Darrin Robson currently runs the Fantastic Plastic label.

Big Sleep played the Guinness Festival Showcase gig in December 1986 in Belfast, which may have been recorded.
