Leon Hunt

"Banjo wizardry in a style totally unique. Leon plays with brilliance and soul - you don't aways find the two together"

Leon Hunt is deservedly the UK's best-known 5-string banjo player. A former student of American banjo virtuoso, Bela Fleck, his exploits with Daily Planet and Southern Exposure have been making waves on both sides of the Atlantic.
His trademark has always been a healthy disregard for the banjo's traditional boundaries, experimenting with techniques, sounds and technology and using his earlier musical influences (both of Leon's parents are jazz musicians) to ultimately make it a more versatile instrument.
