Ian Hunter has produced a matchless repertoire of music combining homage, honesty and killer hooks. He was one of the toughest and most inventive writers of the early 70s paving the way for punk rock with his thought provoking and gritty songs.

Previously the front man with legendary cult rock ‘n’ roll band Mott The Hoople this is his first visit to Glasgow since the band’s reunion in October 2009 when they played 5 sold out nights at the Hammersmith Apollo. As a solo performer he has also succeeded with an eclectic catalogue of superbly intelligent albums and a dedicated following, responsible for instantly recognizable classics such as Once Bitten, Twice Shy, Cleveland Rocks and many more. Currently signed to New West Records, his thirteenth solo album, Man Overboard was released in May 2009.

On Man Overboard, Ian Hunter turns in an 11-song set that is astonishingly vital and puts to shame many toilers half his age. With that sandpapered voice and an ability to bend a melody to its own peculiar will. Hunter is as sharp and focused as ever. The Sunday Times
