JAMES HUNTER BAND- The Cellars At Eastney, Friday 22nd July



One not to miss at The Cellars on Friday 22nd July - the return of the wonderful James Hunter Band. Previous appearances at The Cellars have both sold out very quickly, so what are you waiting for? BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW!!! Advance tickets are just £17. (Booking details below...)

“James is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R’n’B and Soul. Check him out.” So says Van Morrison….

Hunter initially hooked up with Van Morrison back in the early 90’s after Morrison went to hear Hunter perform at a gig in Wales. Hunter subsequently toured extensively with Morrison, singing alongside such luminaries as John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells, Jimmy Witherspoon and Georgie Fame. James is featured on Morrison’s live album “A Night in San Francisco” and the studio recording “Days Like This“. Hunter continues to appear as a musical guest at Morrison shows. 

Van  returned the favour in 1996 when Ace Records released Hunter’s solo debut, “Believe What I Say“, featuring guest appearances by Van, and the late Doris Troy. 

James Hunter’s musical style harkens back to the days of classic 50’s and early 60’s R&B. What’s remarkable is that the same timeless quality inherent to the R&B innovators, including Sam Cooke, Bobby Bland and Ray Charles, can exist in music that is being written, performed and recorded today. Hunter’s voice is smooth, brilliantly controlled and unapologetic. Through his infectious vocal and guitar performances, clever songwriting and tight horn arrangements, Hunter proves to be a man of impeccable taste who has learned from his influences rather than simply imitating them. 

In 2001 Boz Boorer, Morrissey’s lead guitarist and Musical Director, produced Hunter’s solo album, “Kick it Around” 

James Hunter has toured extensively on the club and festival circuits in London and across Europe. His natural ability as singer and guitarist brings added excitement to his music, evidenced by the frenzy he can stir up among hardened gig-goers and young hipsters alike. Hunter concludes, “It’s simple really—it’s music you can groove to.”
