Hunter Muskett

Hunter Muskett play Readifolk on Sunday 22 November, from 8pm to 10.30pm. The gig is at The Community Hall, Watlington House, 44 Watlington Street, RG1 4RA.

They're a folk-rock trio that started in south London in 1968, when Terry Hiscock, Chris George and Doug Morter first got together. Roger Trevitt joined them in 1970, and they recorded two albums before splitting in 1974. After that, guitarist Doug Morter went on to play with Magna Carta, the Albion Band and Maddy Prior. They reformed in 2010 and have been touring ever since, playing original acoustic and electric material that pulls from folk, blues and Americana. The set is built around the songs they wrote between 1968 and 1974, and their sound is held together by multi-part harmonies.

Their discography takes them back to those early years. Every Time You Move came out on Decca Nova in 1970, with Danny Thompson on double bass and Kim Margolis producing. Hunter Muskett followed on Bradleys/ATV Music in 1973, with Michael Giles on drums and Keith Relf producing. They also put out Live At The Marquee that same year. The show is part of Readifolk's Sunday evening guest-nights: admission is paid on the door and there's no licensed bar, so you bring your own drinks. It's £10 for adults and £5 for under-25s.
