Band Biography
CHUNKS are:
Paul MacKay – Vocals & Guitar
Stevo Finlayson – Bass
Stuart Martin – Drums & Percussion
CHUNKS are a three piece rock band based in Oban on the west coast of Scotland. The band has a long history to them, with all three members being born within a week of each other in the old Maternity Hospital in Oban (September 1979), as if they were born to be in a band together.
Over the years Chunks have gigged extensively all over the west of Scotland and beyond, building a solid and loyal fan base along the way, playing all sorts of venues. The band has appeared alongside bands such as The Sensational Alex Harvey band, The Alabama 3 and the Mull Historical Society. Their own material has always received rave reviews, with all copies of their first single ‘Me In Your Mind’ selling out after just a matter of weeks. The boys are influenced by a wide range of artists including The Who, Led Zeppelin, Nick Cave and Neil Young.
Chunks have also made regular appearances at various festivals in the west such as the Mull Music Festival, Dunstaffnage Music Festival, the legendary Iona Beach Party, the Tarbert Music Festival and the Mull of Kintyre Music Festival amongst others.
The band tend to play a variety of cover songs and styles when they perform in pubs, clubs and parties, covering a wide selection of songs ranging from the Beatles to Oasis, Green Day to Dolly Parton, there’s always something to keep everyone entertained. The also bring a sense of humour to the stage and in no way do they take themselves too seriously. Regularly the band perform at large crowds, including 800 during the headline slot at the Iona Beach Party and 700 at the 'Monsters Ball', the annual Halloween dance, held in Oban. Not to forget about the Oban Hogmanay Party in 2007, a street party with a few thousand folk there.
The band has a very busy summer ahead of them, with barely a free date left in the diary. They also plan to be back in the studio this autumn to record a new E.P.
We hope to see you a gig real soon.
“Total madness from the Chunks” Press & Journal
“CHUNKS never fail to put on a great show and have everyone on their feet, with a whole host of party popular covers and some catchy wee numbers of their own, theirs is a party not to be missed.” Amnesty Bash Organisers

Hey guys, Rurigdh from Spin-Offs here. How's things?
Gutted i couldn't make it to see you guys at O'Donells the other night, good?
I'm wondering if you guys would be able to play at the next Amnesty Bash charity gig on Lismore? It's on Friday the 28th of August (what would've been Connect weekend) I don't think i'd be able to pay yous but i'm applying for young scott funding so i should be able to cover you're travel expenses, the venue has a shit-hot pa and Scott will have his drumkit there so don't worry about that. The whole gig will be recorded to go out in BBC Radio Six so it'll be a good PR opp.
Accomodation is the biggest problem, obviously if you're cool with it you could camp at the VIP campsite right next to the venue, but if you know anyone you can stay with on lismore that'd be a bonus.
Anyway i digress...
Let me know as soon as
Cheers
Ru.
Me and Saahr stil waitin on they tshurts!!!!
Hey guys, how's it going? I'm slightly confused about what's happening this sat, are you still playing in Markies or are you playing over at the open mic on Mull?! x

eres sum love fer yaz xxxxxxx
hows all in the land of The Chunks? good i hope. All is well on the shamrock shores
don't worry about it man, there'll be other times.
actually a PA would be great,
we could borrow one from a guy in the glen but it's not very good quality, so if we could get one off you that'd be great.
cheers
hey guys,
what's the word on playin' this gig in the barn?
hey guys it's Ru from spinnoffs here,
would you guys be interested in playing a gig with us in The Barn Bar on the 22nd of August?
i know it's the day before you've got a gig in the mull of kintyre though but it'll be good craik.
get back to me or scott.
cheers
Ru.
Haha! Apologies Stevo, lolol! Yes I used a bit more bad language than I normally would. I think it's all to do with the fact I was so knackered at that point and was just gibbering crap, LOL!
What did happen to the Huns!?!? Not a good start to our European Campaign. Just as well it wasn't on TV so I didn't have to watch it. Should get the job done next week though I think!
