Miles Hunt of the Wonder Stuff – ‘I’d rather make people laugh than applaud’
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

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.
