Miles Hunt (solo)

Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis – Friday 26th September

Surely no introduction is needed, but just in case you need a refresher… The Wonder Stuff are well known for their catchy songs and Hunt’s sharp lyrics as the band’s sound evolved from guitar pop to include sampling and elements of folk and country. The band – and Hunt in particular — were favourites of the UK music press, and were often associated with fellow Black Country acts Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and Pop Will Eat Itself, with whom they have toured throughout their careers.The band scored one UK number 1 single, their release of “Dizzy” with comedian Vic Reeves, 17 top-20 single hits, and three top-10 albums in the UK. The band also toured internationally, and achieved some success in the United States, where they had six songs on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart.

Miles has performed as a solo artist as well as alongside Wonder Stuff guitarist Malcolm Treece and fiddle player Erica Nockalls and also as The Miles Hunt Club (with Andres Karu, Michael Ferentino and Stuart Quinnell) and Vent 414 (Pete Howard, Morgan Nichols).
