Edinburgh Wedding Band Big Tuna - Scotland

Big Tuna s one of Scotland’s hottest, live, indie-rock, cover acts. This four-piece, no-nonsense, band plays a selection of classic rock tunes and songs from today’s great bands and artists. Big Tuna also has a number of originals within its repertoire which they can perform if appropriate for the venue.

The band’s current set list is populist and hedonistic, designed to appeal to, and entertain, the rock-loving masses. Their repertoire features a mix of classic rock (Rolling Stones, Kinks, Hendrix) and more contemporary indie bands (White Stripes, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand).

They also have a number of hard rocking originals that can feature in a performance if appropriate for the venue. When on stage, the band claims to hail from Muskogee, Indiana although none of them have actually been to the town or the state.

Three of the guys work together at a leading Scottish PR agency and the fourth is an IT specialist.

The band is called "Big Tuna" after the fictitious town in the David Lynch film "Wild at Heart".

Their lineup is lead guitar/vocals, guitar/vocals, bass guitar, and drums.

The band have a state of the arts PA system and stage and floor lighting.

Obviously, Big Tuna is not the band for everyone's wedding. However, if you are looking for something a bit "rockier" than the usual Pop Covers, then Big Tuna is the band for you.

Help! How do I play these music files?

It's easy! Just double-click on the link and Windows Media Player (or whatever music player you have installed on your PC) should run and start playing the music file within a few seconds. Make sure you have your speakers plugged in and switched on.

If you have a Broadband internet connection (which is very fast), then the music files should play very smoothly straight away.

However, if you have a standard "Dialup" connection (your modem dials up to allow you to make the connection to the internet) then you will find the music file stops and starts all the time. This is because your PC music player is trying to stream or play the music as it downloads to your hard drive but your internet connection isn't fast enough to play the music smoothly.

If that is what is happening to you, then all you have to do is let the music stagger through once (it is downloading as this is happening) and then it will play at full speed after that. You can then listen to the the music file as many times as you want.

Alternatively, you can download the mp3 first and play it from your Hard Drive. To do this, just right-click on the mp3 link and select "Save target as" from the drop-down menu.

You can then save the mp3 file to your Desktop or any other folder of your choice.

When the mp3 file is completely downloaded, double-click on it and it will play immediately on Windows Media player or whatever music player you have installed.

We hope that has helped you. If not, just give us a ring on 0141 577 6604 and we'll talk you through it.

We're here to help you in any way we can.
