Miles Hunt of the Wonder Stuff - ‘I’d rather make people laugh than applaud’

Miles Hunt is on tour in 2026 – solo, with Vent 414 and the Wonder Stuff - and looks back here at his 40 years on stage, which involves … … stifling hecklers the John Lydon way: “the exits are clearly marked!” … what percussion does to your ears … “when a tout’s selling your £3 ticket for £50 you know you’ve made it!” … keytars, flat drums, guitars without headstocks: things that are JUST PLAIN WRONG! … seeing Slade at Birmingham Town Hall when he was 10 … why the Size Of A Cow was “the moment a lot of our audience thought we’d sold out” … Hunter S Thompson, Charles Bukowski: books that work on a tour bus … when drummers ‘cramp up’ … and why he won’t perform Dizzy with Vic Reeves. Order Miles Hunt and Wonder Stuff tickets here: https://thewonderstuff.co.uk/tour/Help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourearHelp us to keep The Longest Continuous Conversation In Rock'n'Roll going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.
