During the 60's & 70's the sensational Spinners took the TV screens and music world by storm and introduced many of us to the folk scene with a combination of traditional folk music, many well known songs by Ewan MacColl, sea shanties, Christmas songs and those which simply made us laugh.
Mick Groves and Hughie Jones, 'the last two Spinners standing' who are both now in their 80's, will be meeting up for a one off concert at Countess Wear Village Hall in Exeter on June 15th. The last time the they played in Exeter the show was a sell out, the music and great and the camaraderie...
Food lovers and walkers are in for a real treat on 4th June at the inaugural ‘Gourmet Food Walk’ in Kilmington, East Devon.
The leisurely walk is a great chance to explore the picturesque Devon countryside. Just over halfway along the route walkers will be rewarded with breathe-taking views for miles around.
Of course what makes the walk so special is the inclusion of food and drink from East Devon and Dorset. Walkers make several stops for refreshments and entertainment; at each is a delicious course of a meal prepared by cooks from the local area.

Rob Baxter says it’s vital his Exeter Chiefs grasp every opportunity afforded to them as they look to maintain their momentum in this season’s Aviva Premiership. Having clocked up a 13-match unbeaten streak that stretches back to the end of October, the Chiefs – along with Wasps and Saracens – have already booked their place in next month’s end of season play-offs.
