從市集攤位到吉他表演：Russ Hunt 加入 Wonder Stuff 英國巡迴演唱會！

Russ Hunt, the brother of The Wonder Stuff's lead singer Miles Hunt, is making a big change in his life. For the past ten years, Russ has been running White Rabbit Records, a music stall at Shrewsbury Market Hall. He started the stall in 2015 after losing his job in IT, and since then, he has enjoyed talking to customers about music and building his own small business. Russ said that the best part of his job was being able to chat about music every day and meet lots of interesting people.

Now, Russ is leaving his market stall behind to rejoin The Wonder Stuff as their guitar technician. The band is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special tour, and Russ will be helping them by making sure all the guitars are ready for each show. When his brother Miles called and asked if he wanted to come back on tour, Russ didn't hesitate to say yes. He said that being on tour with the band is a lot of fun, like going on a road trip with friends, playing music, and having a good time. Russ has known some of the band members for over 40 years, so it feels like a reunion.

The Wonder Stuff is a well-known band that started in Stourbridge. They broke up in 1994 after a big show at the Phoenix Festival but got back together in 2000 for a series of sold-out concerts in London. Their new tour will start in October at Newcastle's O2 City Hall and will include other venues like The Halls in Wolverhampton. Russ has been involved in music for most of his life, playing in bands and working as a concert technician. His uncle, Bill Hunt, was also a musician in famous bands like Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard. Many people at Shrewsbury Market Hall will miss Russ, and some have shared kind words about him online, calling him a legend and remembering when he played guitar on stage with The Wonder Stuff. Russ said he will still visit Shrewsbury and do some DJ gigs at local pubs, but he is excited for this new adventure with the band.
