The Wonder Stuff Diaries '86 - '89

Miles Hunt’s first book is an insight into The Wonder Stuff’s fast moving and chaotic early years.

The narrative is drawn from Hunt's own personal diaries, meticulously kept as the band began its rise to fame. The book also features many previously unseen images of Miles' early life as well as array of Wonder Stuff ephemera.

In Miles' own words: "I have been as honest as my memory will allow, in adding extra anecdotal text to the original diary entries. No names have been changed to protect the innocent, because from where I was standing we were all as guilty as the next man."

"This book tells the story that every band in Britain could identify with. It's the story of manly pub back rooms, growing up in a haze of drink, friendships and songs, an obsession with music and good times, and how true talent is always in the hands of the small town dreamers and wild eyed schemers lost in music."
John Robb – musician and journalist

"Miles Hunt, ever the engaging raconteur, gives a vivid account of growing up in thrall to music. His diaries are packed with atmosphere and detail, as he shepherds the reader through the pleasures and pitfalls of pop stardom."
Terry Staunton – music journalist

"Brilliantly written with the characteristic glint in Mr Hunt's eye shining through every page. A must read for anyone who spent happy years shouting 'HUP' for no reason other than the groove machine told us to."
Greg Davies – comedian and actor
