Douglas McQueen Hunter is the singer, front-man, and guitarist of the well-known Glasgow based Scottish folk-rock band, The Picts, with whom he has played to thousands of audiences at home and abroad. With The Picts he has performed at festivals such as The Interceltique Festival of Lorient, Brittany; T in the Park, Scotland’s biggest music festival; and the Glasgow George Square Hogmanay Bash, playing in front of forty thousand people.

Douglas plays a wide range of concert types from folk gigs and celtic-rock concerts to mainstream rock and Americana shows. He has honed his skills as a performer and front-man over many years with The Picts and various other bands.

Douglas also co-founded an acoustic version of The Picts called The Court of Equity which focuses on the works of Robert Burns. He appears on their new albums “Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect” (The Songs and Poems of Robert Burns), Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 singing seven songs on each album.

Douglas is also qualified genealogist (PGdip- StrathclydeUni), a Third Dan in Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu, martial-arts coach, and fully qualified GP Referral Personal Trainer. He is author of “Hunters’ Illustrated History of the Family, Friends and Contemporaries of Robert Burns”, a book which his father, well known Scottish artist Colin Hunter McQueen, conceived, designed, and beautifully illustrated with over six hundred drawings. Douglas researched and wrote the text. Over three hundred parish records were discovered in the research, bringing new light to the studies of Robert Burns and also correcting errors compounded over generations by biographer after biographer of Burns. Colin’s research and illustrations also brought to light faces of Burns’s friends which had been unknown in previous biographical works. The book was highly acclaimed by the world’s foremost scholars of Burns.
