Wonderland - New Years Eve 2015
A Night of Curiosity and Wonder
This New Years Eve we invite you to leave behind the humdrum of day-to-day life and explore a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
After two years of raucous sell-out revelry, Exeter’s most imaginative New Year event returns with more mind-blowing live music, DJs, zany performers and hidden surprises.
Party amidst falling snow in a winter forest, revel with the weird and wonderful at a tropical tea party for loons, and throw some shapes at the Kitty Litter Disco – meeeoooow! There’s no telling what you’ll find around the next corner…

Ozric Tentacles - The Phoenix - Exeter - England - 15/1/05 - Full Show
So,the night after filming the Ozrics up in Stoke I was down in Devon to film them at The Phoenix Arts Centre in Exeter as it was known back then.This was back before I had kids when I still had spare money,time and enough energy to follow my favourite band around the country.
I found a good vantage point from the balcony and had my DV tape 'Digital' video camera fixed to my tripod and was ready to film.As you can see from the video this camera had it's limitations especially with focussing during the smoke machine moments and mad strobing coupled with Mike's Mental Projections.Still,no other fans were filming their U.K. gigs back then and as usual I'd had to get permission from the band.The sound is pretty good though and i think the results are a great little snap shot in time of a line-up that wouldn't last the year out intact.This was the only time that I filmed 1980s member Tom Brooks on 'Bubbles',making suitable spacey sounds,although he does still sporadically join them onstage for the odd U.K. gig.And In fact it was to be the last time that I'd film Jon in the band and their Glastonbury Festival gig i saw that June would be his penultimate show with them.
So,an end of a classic Ozrics' era came about but of course Ozric Tentacles continue to this day with Ed at the helm still producing their own special brand of unique cosmic music.And,indeed,their latest excellent double album release 'Technicians Of The Sacred' is available now.
These shows that I was lucky enough to film from 1999-2005 mean a lot to me and thanks to all the assorted band members for their amazing performances and for the band and management for allowing me,a slightly obsessed fan,the chance to capture such magic.
Great times,great music,great friends and very special memories...thank you all.
And of course much love to all you other fans out there for watching...enjoy! 8-)

I Charleston Exeter
Hi there. We are Derek and Jane of South West Lindy Hoppers in England. We were the first Lindy Hop club in the Devon area and have been teaching in Exeter and Totnes for over 10 years.
We are involved in many events, dance to local big bands and show off our dancing in Exeter City Centre with our 'Lindy in the City'.
Our video features our Lindy Hoppers from Exeter and Totnes clubs, some have only been dancing for 2 - 6 months!
The video shows many of the historical sites in Exeter.
Exeter is located on the River Exe and is one of the most historical sites in the UK. The famous cathedral was founded nearly 1,000 years ago. There are many Roman and Medieval remains still to be seen around the city. Exeter University is world famous for its research programmes.
So if it's Lindy Hop, sunbathing on sandy beaches, water sports, walking on Dartmoor National Park or having a traditional Devonshire Cream Tea (scone with Devonshire clotted cream topped off with jam, plus a pot of tea) and relaxing, then Exeter is the ideal place to stay.
Special thanks go to Alan Tibbitts of DVX Productions our director and cameraman for his expertise and creativity in producing this video. His use of a drone was truely innovative.
Land Securities of Princesshay Shopping Centre who support us in our 'Lindy In the City' events.
Exeter Customs House (Tourist Information Centre) down on Exeter Quay on the River Exe, where there are many restaurants, shops and water sport activities available.
Butt's Ferry, for allowing us to dance and wobble across the river, probably for the first time in its 300 year history!

Jeremiah at Exeter Phoenix
Jack Dean presents Jeremiah
Wed 26 Sep 2018 - Thu 27 Sep 2018 | 8pm | £12 (£10)* | 14+
From the critically-acclaimed rap storyteller behind Grandad And The Machine comes a raucous new show with live music about one of the North’s greatest forgotten revolutionaries.
On 9 June 1817 Jeremiah Brandreth assembles a crew of malcontents in a pub near Nottingham. Their plan is to march on London, overthrow the government, wipe out the National Debt and end poverty forever. What Jeremiah doesn’t know is that there is a spy in his ranks with other ideas…
Featuring an original score and live band, Jeremiah tells the incredible true story of the much misunderstood Luddite rebellion.

You Make Exeter Phoenix - Fundraising Appeal
We recently won a grant of £187,000 from Arts Council England to make some big changes to this beautiful building, resulting in an improved entrance and gallery space, swish toilets and better seating in our auditorium. It’s going to be amazing.
But before we can make this dream a reality, we still need around £60,000. This is where we need you.
You can help make Exeter Phoenix the best it can be, making a great venue for you to learn, do and create in, and helping to bring world class contemporary music, art, film and performance to Exeter.
If everyone who came through our doors gave us £3, we would meet this target within two months.
Please consider giving a donation today. Without your support, creativity couldn’t happen here. Thank you.
Culture - Live at the Exeter Phoenix - March 18th 2013
Great gig. Apologies for the distorted sound.
The group formed in 1976 as the vocal trio of Joseph Hill (formerly a percussionist in Studio One house band the Soul Defenders), his cousin Albert Ralph Walker, and Roy Kenneth Dayes, initially using the name The African Disciples.[1] They soon changed name to Culture, and auditioned successfully for the Mighty Two -- producer Joe Gibbs and engineer Errol Thompson.[1] While at Gibbs' studio, they recorded a series of powerful singles, starting with See Dem a Come and including the hugely successful Two Sevens Clash (which predicted the apocalpyse on 7 July 1977), many of which ended up on their debut album Two Sevens Clash.[2][3][4] The song was sufficiently powerful that many in Kingston stayed indoors on 7 July, fearing that the prophecy would come true.[5] A second Gibbs-produced album, Baldhead Bridge, followed in 1978, by which time the group had moved on to record for producer Sonia Pottinger.[2] The group entered into a long-running dispute with Gibbs over royalties to the first album.
Two Sevens Clash meanwhile had become a big seller in the United Kingdom, popular with punk rock fans as well as reggae fans and boosted by the support of John Peel on his BBC Radio 1 show, and reached number 60 on the UK Albums Chart in April 1978.[5][6][7] This prompted Virgin Records to sign the group to its Front Line label, releasing Harder than the Rest (1978) and International Herb (1979).[1] Culture also released records on other labels in Jamaica, including a dub version of Harder than the Rest (Culture in Dub (1978, High Note)) and an album of different mixes of the same album (Africa Stand Alone (1978, April)).[1] An album recorded for Pottinger in 1979 with a working title of Black Rose remained unreleased until tracks emerged in 1993 on Trod On.[1]
Culture performed at the One Love Peace Concert in 1978.[6]
In 1981 the three singers went their own ways.[8] Hill carried on using the Culture name, and recorded the Lion Rock album, which was reissued in the United States by Heartbeat Records.[1] Hill and his new band recorded a session for long time supporter John Peel in December 1982, and the group went on to record further studio sessions for Peel in 1998 and 2002, and their performance at the Royal Festival Hall in July 1998 was broadcast on his show.[9] For their part, Walker and Dayes recorded a handful of songs on their own -- a few of which turned up on an album titled Roots & Culture. Hill performed at the Reggae Sunsplash festival in 1985 and in 1986 the original line-up reformed to record two highly regarded albums -- Culture in Culture and Culture at Work.[1]
Several album followed in the 1990s on Shanachie Records and Ras Records, often recorded with Sly and Robbie, with Dayes leaving the group again around 1994, with Reginald Taylor replacing him.[1][10][11]
By 2001 Telford Nelson had replaced Taylor.[12][13]
Joseph Hill, who came to symbolize the face of Culture, died in Berlin, Germany on 19 August 2006 while the group was on tour, after collapsing following a performance.[14] His son, Kenyatta Hill, who had acted as the group's sound engineer on tour, performed with his father's band at the Western Consciousness show in 2007, which was dedicated to Joseph Hill, and became the lead singer of Culture; Walker and Nelson continue to provide backing vocals.[15][16][17]
In 2011, Live On was released, featuring Kenyatta's performances of his father's songs such including Two Sevens Clash and International Herb.[17]
Critically considered one of the most authentic traditional reggae acts, at the time of the first Rolling Stone Record Guide publication, they were the only band of any genre whose every recording received a five-star review (of bands with more than one recording in the guide).[citation
Dreadzone-Zion Youth-Exeter Phoenix -2013
All action night as Dreadzone rocked the Phoenix to great effect. No infringement of copyright intended. Posted by a fan for fans.
Dreadzone formed in 1993 when ex-Big Audio Dynamite drummer, Greg Roberts, teamed up with Tim Bran, who had previously worked as a musician and sound engineer for Julian Cope. The name Dreadzone was suggested to Roberts and Bran by Don Letts.
Bran and Roberts were soon joined by bassist Leo Williams and keyboardist Dan Donovan, also formerly of Big Audio Dynamite. The band signed to Creation Records in 1993 and released their first album 360°. The following year the band signed to Virgin Records and released their second studio album Second Light. In the meantime, Dreadzone had become a favourite festival act and in June that year opened the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival.[1] During these early years their backing vocalists included Melanie Blatt, Denise van Outen and Alison Goldfrapp.
In January 1996, the group had their first and so far only Top 40 hit in the UK Singles Chart with Little Britain,[2] which reached #20. The song sampled a line from the 1968 cult British film If.... - Britain today is a powerhouse of ideas, experiments, imagination.[citation needed]
John Peel championed Dreadzone on BBC Radio 1, and cited Second Light as one of his favourite albums of all time.[3] Tracks from Second Light also dominated Peel's Festive Fifty in 1995, and the band recorded six Peel sessions between 1993 and 2001. In 2000, MC Spee joined as a second vocalist. Between 1998 and 2001 the Dreadzone sound system hosted the Dubweiser club night at Notting Hill Arts Club. On 26 October 2006, it was announced on the Dreadzone forums that Dreadzone guitarist Steve Roberts, the brother of Greg Roberts had died.[4]
In 2007, the band were joined by new members Chris Compton and Chris Oldfield (DJ and lighting designer) and returned to touring. In 2007 and 2008 they played gigs and festival across the UK and Europe, and signed to a new management company in 2008. In 2010, the band released their sixth studio album, Eye on the Horizon.[5]
In 2011 a new video was released. Produced and filmed by John C. Massaria of GoodPixel Productions, it featured music by Dreadzone, A Dream within a Dream (in Moscow). In May 2011, a best of compilation album was released by Dubwiser Records entitled The Good, the Bad and the Dread: The Best of Dreadzone.[6]

Okay you crazy people! How are you feeling? I hope you are feelling good, 'cause something tells me i'm better...upload a brand new show to you! Anyway, let's continue with the early Duke Tour shows, this one was the secound recorded show of the tour and well...what a polemical show it may be! I just tell you that when i first heard this bootleg, i nearly ended up bruising my knees on my desk, since i just have never heard Phil Collins in SUCH poor vocal form! I dunno what the hell happened between the first show of the tour (Paignton) and this show (maybe he blew his voice after the Paignton show, or either after the first Exeter gig, but there's no recording of this one) but his voice sounds VERY weak and unstable throghout a huge part of the set, and it doesn't sound exactly appealing to my ears! Some of the songs are quite his worst recorded vocal renditions of them, both on this tour and in general. Examples are Back In NYC (lots of squealing and hitting multiple notes at once, he stops singing at times and even sounds like Peter during the Lamb Tour at times), the Moonlight Knight Intro (his falseto gives out on the it LIIES with me line), The Carpet Crawlers (hits lots of off notes throghout, and sounds very thin overrall), Squonk (absolute worst version ever, tons of bad phrasing, bum notes, and vocal strain; i never thought i would hear something worse than some of the U.S. versions of this same tour, but here it is); One For The Vine (heavily cut, but he sings the Follow meee falseto one octave lowe -- the only known time he would have to do this); Behind The Lines (one of the weakest versions, his singing sounds really flat); Duchess (very lackluster performance, with plenty of ammended phrasing and off notes); Guide Vocal (has some intonation issues throghout); Turn It On Again (one of the worst on the tour, disgusting bum notes her and there); Say It's Alright Joe (Tony hits a bad piano note, and Phil sounds uneasy on the vocals, making it one of the very few bad versions of the song); The Lady Lies (probably the worst version by far, the higher notes are quite a strain for Phil, not conting out the amount of off notes); In The Cage (one of the worst bridge sections ever, plus his voice seems to weaken as the song progresses); Afterglow (also cut, but sounds like one of the worst ever -- Phil nearly disappears completely during the outro); Follow You Follow Me (he hits never-ending bum notes and tries to oversing the ending but it doesn't work too much), and I Know What I Like (distracting squealing and flat notes, no doubt one of the worst ever). On a positive note: Duke's Travels and Dance On A Volcano are mostly decent performances vocally, plus the band sounds mostly tight throghout the whole thing, doing their best to make up for Phil's condition! The recording is mostly complete (albeit with cuts here and there) and in decent quality. I hope you can at least try to enjoy this show!
