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.
Notes:
Recorded at Matrix Studios, July 1985.
Engineered/keyboards by Hugh M.
