Fiction Factory

Fiction Factory were a Scottish New Wave band from Perth, formed in 1983. Their debut single "(Feels Like) Heaven" was a Top 10 hit. Before they began Fiction Factory, Kevin Patterson (vocals), Eddie Jordan (keyboards), Grant Taylor (trumpet) and Chic Medley (guitar) played in skinhead ska band The Rude Boys (later shortened to The RB's). Asked by CBS to create a concert-playing band, they enlisted Graham McGregor (bass) and Mike Ogletree (drums and percussion), a former member of Simple Minds. The band's single "(Feels Like) Heaven" became a UK Top 10 hit in 1984 (also reaching the Top 10 in Germany and Switzerland). Fiction Factory disbanded in 1987 after the release of their second album. Patterson later left the music industry. He currently works in the IT department at the University of Dundee. He has a wife and two children. Patterson and Jordan reunited to perform "(Feels Like) Heaven" (with backing band) at Jordan's wedding in August 2007. Medley went on to work with the Scottish world music project, Mouth Music. "(Feels Like) Heaven" was used in a 2009 television advertisement for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
