Billy Bragg & Joe Henry

In March 2016 Billy Bragg and Joe Henry, guitars in hand, boarded a Los Angeles-bound train at Chicago's Union Station looking to reconnect with the culture of railroad travel and the music it inspired. Winding along 2,728 miles of track over four days, the pair recorded classic railroad songs in waiting rooms and at trackside while the train paused to pick up passengers. On the Shine A Light 2017 tour which stops in Exeter on the 18 January, they'll be playing songs from the journey, along with favourites from their own back catalogues.

Chiefs get the New Year party started

In a year packed full of sparkle, Exeter Chiefs perhaps saved their shining moment for the final day of 2016.

Seemingly down and out in a full-blooded Westcountry derby with rivals Bath, two late tries from James Short enabled Rob Baxter’s side to celebrate a first-ever victory in the ancient Roman City.

Sure, Devon’s finest had triumphed at the Rec in the old LV= Cup, but never before had they had they won when it came to league matters. This was the perfect way to start the New Year’s Eve party.

Bossed for the opening hour of this match, the Chiefs trailed 11-0 at...
