THE LEON HUNT n-TET

This latest incarnation of The Leon Hunt n-Tet came together in the most natural and organic way imaginable. It all started with a well-timed ‘fancy doing some playing again’ conversation and continues to operate on this easy-going basis. With no grand plan, the repertoire and styles covered are dictated solely by what the band fancy having a go at, all mixed up with a ‘best of’ from the back catalogues of Daily Planet, The Scoville Units and previous incarnations of The n-Tet.

Leon Hunt continues to confound the stereotypes that try to confine the banjo to Bluegrass music, by making his living playing alongside some of the world’s top musicians from a multitude of musical styles and disciplines. That said, he’s not one to shy away from the clichés either - watch the TV for a long enough and there’s every chance you’ll hear some of his 100mph banjo picking.
