+ Sola Guinto Deva St John ___________________________________________ WILFHUNTERS Wilfhunters are an 8 piece improvised post rock band, created from the desire of a group of working session musicians in Manchester to do something unique, fresh and exciting. The Wilfs cut their improvisational teeth by busking 3-5 hour sets of improvisational funk as a trio on Market Street. As the lineup expanded so did the sound which is now waves of melodic, post rock walls of sound! This organic evolution can be seen through their regular updates on their instagram account: @wilfhunters. SOLA GUINTO Sola Guinto is a Californian with Filipino parents living in the UK. With a fierce and unapologetic approach to pop, her music pulses with an edge that resonates deeply with audiences.
