MTV EMA award-winners GUN were formed in Scotland by guitarist Giuliano Gizzi. During their career GUN have achieved three UK top 20 albums and eight UK top 40 singles, including a cover of Cameo’s ‘Word Up’, which reached the UK top 10 and charted all over Europe. GUN have toured extensively over the years, most notably with The Rolling Stones on their Steel Wheels and Urban Jungle tours.
In 2022, GUN enjoyed chart success with The Calton Songs, with the album clocking in at No.2 on the Scottish album chart, No.6 on the UK Indie Chart and No.13 on the UK Physical Album Chart. GUN also received two major awards in November 2022, with the band honoured with the Rock Legend award at Hard Rock Hell in Great Yarmouth and the Hard Rock Café Legends award at the Scottish Music Awards, the flagship event for the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity.
The current line up consists of original members Dante Gizzi (Vocals) and Giuliano Gizzi (Guitar) along with Paul McManus (Drums), Andy Carr (Bass) and David Aitken (Guitar).
