Live Review: Mahalia @ Exeter Lemon Grove
Contemporary R&B has produced some of the most groundbreaking and lucrative megastars in American pop, but much in the way of country music and Ford pickup trucks, it’s a trend that has struggled to find similar success across the pond. ‘Boo’d Up’ singer Ella Mai pointed out in a recent Guardian interview “the music industry […]
Best and worst of Freshers
Aaron Loose When I moved down to Exeter as an underweight bookworm last year, armed with little but a Wilko’s crockery kit and the dream of becoming a dashing student of the Humanities, nobody ever warned me about homebrew vodka. Let me be the first to tell you: if your new flatmate offers you a […]
Live Review: Don Broco
The endearing nature of Bedford rock band Don Broco is abundantly clear just minutes into their sold-out show at the Lemon Grove. Fans crashed into the soundboard at the back of the room, presumably knocking out some wires and halting the show entirely. You could argue it was the band’s fault; choosing to open a […]
The Lemmy’s Renaissance
Saturday May 26th marked the rebirth of a legend. Like a phoenix from the ashes, Saturday Lemmy has returned. Kind of. “Lost Saturdays” as it is now affectionately titled, promised a “huge, naughty affair with an extra side of fun”. It was definitely huge, in as much as the queue stretched back to the business school […]
Review: ‘My Fair Lady’ @ The Lemon Grove
My Fair Lady, Lerner and Loewe’s musical adaptation of Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, was met with a rapturous reception – setting records for the longest running Broadway show and creating a popular film starring Audrey Hepburn. Exeter Footlights’ reprisal, almost exactly 60 years later, combines the crackle and charm of the original stage production […]
Live Review: Newton Faulkner @ The Lemon Grove
If charm were a currency, then Newton Faulkner would be a rich man. Thankfully for our sakes it isn’t, and so he has to make music for a living – because the world would be a far darker place with less Newton in it. That said, I think he’d just go ahead and make music […]
Live Review: Nick Mulvey @ Lemon Grove
Now it is time for the third and final instalment of my Nick Mulvey reviews and this time it is his performance in the Lemon Grove last Monday. Now, after talking to him and listening to his music, I had a feeling we were up for a humble and heart warming performance; I certainly was not […]
A Fickle Game: An Interview with Amber Run’s Joe Keogh
For those of us lucky enough to be on board with Exeter’s live music scene, Amber Run managed to come over to our very own Lemon Grove for a night full of great music. Seafret opened the night with some of their new music and some of their old tunes. Amber Run then took to […]
The Ghosts of Freshers Past
Oh Fresher’s Week. The gateway to a year of university life, an opportunity to blow off steam before the hard work begins or, in my case, get horrifically drunk to mask the fact I was shitting myself with nerves and end up not being able to look half of Lafrowda in the eye. In comparison […]
