Hunter Muskett have been going a very long time as a band, consisting of Terry Hiscock – acoustic and electric guitars, slide guitar, piano, vocals, Doug Morter – acoustic and electric guitars, vocals...
Read MoreThanks to all who came along to Dreamers on Sunday night, not only for their performances and for being such a good audience but also for contributions to the discussion about the future of the Club which followed.
