Formed in Exeter several years ago, and barely out of their teens, the band have already built themselves up a dedicated fan base through their ambitious sound which sets them apart from most of the UK guitar scene at the moment. Channelling everything from Jeff Buckley to Zeppelin to Math Rock, the band’s soaring alt-rock sound melds poetic lyrics with duelling guitars and a punk rock spirit that runs through every track. Live, they are a force to be reckoned with. Already established in their hometown (having sold out the 500 capacity Phoenix), they have spent the summer bringing the kinetic live shows to the rest of the country, with a headline tour and festival appearances throughout the summer including Boardmasters, Wilderness, Rock Oyster and Sign of the Times. The tour coincides with the release of their 5 track EP ‘A Beautiful Thing’, out on 7 November. The EP will feature the previously released singles ‘Paris’, ‘Evelyn’ and ‘The Art of Dying’ (for which the band have just released a brand-new video), as well as two brand new songs to add to their arsenal of emotionally powerful alt-rock. Presented by Love Thy Neighbour. This is an 18+ event

Aye aye! Ahoy hoy! The unstoppable talking panjandrum is back in town! Celebrating 50 years afloat on the showbiz seas! Dead men tell no tales – so might as well get ’em all told now! Avast! Two thundering hours guaranteed!

directed by Alex Donald presented by The Bridge House Theatre The award winning Bridge House Theatre are delighted to be returning to The Jack Studio theatre with their new show. Shut that door! Larry Grayson, one of the countrys best-loved light entertainers, is back from The Other Side (no, not ITV) to tell the story of his extraordinary life. Larry was the camp stand-up who, with his innuendo-laden tales, told stories of friends like Everard and Slack Alice. In this fusion of autobiographical reminiscing and stand-up, Larry reveals all. From his birth in 1923 to an unmarried mother at a time when such things brought nothing but shame, to his fostering by a hard-working miner and his family, Larry maintained an incredible drive to become a variety star at a time when variety was dying. Drag artist, comedian, song-and-dance man, Larry did it all, but he was consigned to showbusiness oblivion by an early TV appearance. No one, least of all Larry, expected him to become a major light entertainment star later in life, with his shows watched by over 20 million people on Saturday nights in the 1970s and 1980s. A gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal, he was marginalised by his own sexuality, but was also bizarrely targeted by the Gay Liberation Front for not being what they wanted to promote. The camp comic who paved the way for so many others, he is now in danger of being forgotten. So spend an evening with Larry, his hilarious friends, his anecdotes and catchphrases, and the humour of the decades he lived though, and find out what he did in the Rolls Royce that he could not drive.
