Live Review: Isaac Gracie @ Exeter Phoenix
The fans of Isaac Gracie may feel close to him whilst they listen to his gentle tones in the library. However, it is at his live performances where one can truly acknowledge his soulful yet simultaneously rocky voice, along with his gentle sense of humour and rhythmic harmonies. The 24-year-old Isaac Gracie catapulted into the […]
Live review: Stornoway @ Exeter Phoenix
“W e honestly never dreamed we’d come this far,” Stornoway front man Brian Briggs admits. “Swindon, perhaps… but Exeter? No way.” The whoop this earns almost cancels out the outrage he unleashed earlier, back when he suggested to a tipsy Phoenix crowd that cream teas might have come from Cornwall. Yep: between the regional banter and […]
Organisers of ‘Tribal Dance’ apologise as students brand the event ‘appalling’
The organisers of a student ‘Tribal Dance’ in Exeter have changed the title of their event after an Exeposé investigation.

Phrases such as ‘our tribal drums’ and ‘Tribal […]

Live Review: Beans on Toast @ Exeter Phoenix
Beans On Toast. A simple, unassuming English moniker, wholly suitable for Jay McAllister the cult folk performer from Essex. Beans is a one of a kind, if you don’t believe me then maybe the fact that he rocked up to the phoenix stage barefoot, encapsulates his unpretentious personality. The night celebrated Independent Music Week- as […]
Live Review: Ronnie Spector @ Exeter Phoenix
Born over three decades after she released her first single with The Ronettes, to me Ronnie Spector has only ever existed in the mythology of glimmering press shots, the lore of biography, like many stars of that era lingering far beyond the oblique parapet of reality. Beautiful, iconic, somewhere between Broadway and Spanish Harlem, early punk rocker or pop […]
Bridge Jazz Club at the Phoenix, 07/10/15
Sitting at a table in the Exeter Phoenix’s ‘Voodoo Lounge’, listening to Pete Canter’s quartet produce a remarkable rendition of Juke Jordan’s Jordu, I cannot help but think that the Bridge Jazz Club is the best kept musical secret amongst Exeter students. I am one of only six students here, the rest of the audience […]
