GUN members, Dante Gizzi and Giuliano "Jools" Gizzi took to the stage at Styx for an evening of music and chat in front of a big crowd, with many fans travelling to Fife to see them live.
Their set included a host of tracks from the their early albums Taking On the World and Gallus.
The evening also included a set from Kirkcaldy singer-songwriter PG Ciarletta who is also scheduled to perform at the Breakout Festival.

The organisers were delighted with the response to the night which came just days after they unveiled Scottish music legends Wet Wet Wet as their latest headliners.
It was the first event under the Breakout banner since plans to stage the festival were rescheduled from October to next May - and it could be followed by other one-off shows.
Breakout is set to be the biggest music festival staged in the town, and one of the largest in Fife.
Organisers have moved the entire line-up into new dates next summer, and that means fans will get to see the likes of Big Country, The Skids, Midge Ure, Hue and Cry, and many more.
