Twenty-five years on from the heyday of the high energy, close-harmony singing duo, Panic Brothers, Reg Meuross and Rich Morton are reuniting for a special limited edition run of gigs and festivals in 2014.
Reg and Rich have lost none of the musical and lyrical edge which established them as a formidable live act, first on the London pub circuit and then leading to five years of successful touring and TV work, with appearances at Edinburgh, Glastonbury, Sidmouth and most of the major British Festivals and also the comedy circuit.
Gary Numan is a truly unique artist. He is back in black and ready to darken Exeter and England once again. Numan has influenced everyone from Trent Reznor to Prince to The Prodigy to Afrika Bambaataa to name a few.
