Groovy! How is Exeter leading the way with all things retro?

Nothing brings smiles to people’s faces and gets them talking more than thinking about the not-so-distant past. If one thing is certain in life, it’s that things that were once popular will come back into fashion – and our love of retro has certainly proven that to be true. Whether its fashions we thought were condemned to the history books or sounds and sights that send us down memory lane, going retro provides a breath of fresh air. So, how is Exeter bringing it back old school and giving us a blast from the past?

As previously reported indie rock legends Feeder are set to play the Great Hall at Exeter University on Saturday 2 November, and we can now reveal that Devon’s own Daniel Steer has been selected by the band to open the show.
