'Fantastic!' (Jools Holland). 'Boogie-woogie slide-guitar master' **** (Scotsman). 'The Fringe's most unique, inventive and soulful blues performer, a fantastic gig' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). Hunt's 13th Fringe following 12 years of full-house performances. 'Blues legend built his own cannibalised, recycled guitars from a B&Q shelf and papier-mache' **** (Herald). 'Instantly evocative of the deep south blues. Unique R'n'B take on Sinatra alongside a James Bond mash-up. Whatever Hunt plays, it feels refreshingly authentic' **** (List). 'Ingenious 21st-century blues' **** (ThreeWeeks). 'Like Seasick Steve in a science lab, a storming set' (Ian Rankin).
