Miles Hunt – who fronts the alternative rock band The Wonder Stuff – will be playing Strings tomorrow night (Saturday).
The Wonder Stuff are best known for their 1991 hit Dizzy, featuring comedian Vic Reeves.
Hunt’s first band (in which he played drums) was called From Eden and featured future members of another successful Stourbridge group, Pop Will Eat Itself. After leaving this band, he formed The Wonder Stuff and was their lead singer and principal songwriter until their split in 1994.
The Wonder Stuff scored one UK number 1 single “Dizzy” 17 top-20 single hits, and 3 top-10 albums in the UK. The band has also toured internationally and achieved success in the United States, where they had six songs on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart.
Miles presented 120 Minutes on MTV Europe until mid-’95, when he formed a new band Vent 414. He toured as a solo performer until he reformed The Wonder Stuff in 2000. The band continue to tour. Miles also co-wrote and sang the theme tune to the CBeebies television programme Underground Ernie.
The evening will be opened with a performance by Miles Oatley. Doors open at 19:30.
