Introducing The Hunch
The Hunch, from Wakefield, perform expertly crafted classic folk, blues, soul, and popular songs with five-part harmonies and instrumental virtuosity. As a collective, there is a ready wit and an easy rapport with their audience, ensuring that any concert goes with a swing and a smile.
Deep Roots, Broad Repertoire
Michael Doonan, founding member of the legendary 1970s folk-rock band Hedgehog Pie, comes from a famous Tyneside musical dynasty — his father was an All-Ireland piccolo champion and a founding figure of the UK folk revival. Their set includes traditional folk arrangements and songs by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Vin Garbutt, Coldplay, and Joan Osborne.
Harmonies, Humour, and Heart
Five musicians at the top of their game, honed from years of performance — intriguingly crafted classics and soul-searching ballads shine with five-part harmonies and instrumental virtuosity, all introduced with dry wit and audacious humour. As Living Tradition Magazine put it, this band simply sizzles with sound.
Why You’ll Enjoy Them
The collective ready wit and easy rapport with audiences guarantees a tasteful, exciting, and soulful gig you’re sure to remember. The Hunch are the kind of band that brings a whole room together — expect to leave with a grin
