Miles Hunt reveals on Radio X brewery job and clears up Dizzy myth
The Wonder Stuff frontman Miles Hunt has revealed he stepped away from music after the pandemic to work in a brewery.
Speaking on Radio X with Chris Moyles and Dominic Byrne, the 1990s indie star said he felt he had nothing left in the tank to return to touring.
He explained that in 2022, as live music resumed, he struggled with motivation and chose instead to take on a physical job at The Three Tuns Brewery, one of the country’s oldest licensed breweries.
Hunt said he spent seven months working as a drayman, delivering beer and handling barrels, describing the experience as something he “loved” during a period away from performing.
The interview also saw him address a long-running rumour involving comedians Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves during a 1991 appearance on Top of the Pops.
Mortimer had previously claimed the band got them drunk on vodka before performing “Dizzy”, but Hunt corrected the story, saying it was actually tequila shots.
He joked that his memory for such details remains “shockingly good”, even decades after the event.
