THEATRE

Plunge Friday & Saturday, Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter "That's why they call it Café Nero, you know. Because you sit and fiddle with your iPad while the world outside burns." For over 500 years the smell of coffee has seeped into our streets, our lives, our society.

It was in 1983 that Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene with his very English songwriting, pioneering synthesizers and thought provoking lyrics.

He set out his manifesto in his very first single ‘ New Song’. The lyrics called on the listener to challenge their preconceived ideas, to see both sides and ‘throw off your mental chains’. New Song was recently used in a pivotal scene in ‘Breaking Bad’ where Aaron Paul’s character Jessie Pinkman questions if he wants to ‘play by the rules’.
