The Exeter Daily Auditorium, Exeter Phoenix, Gandy Street, Exeter

65daysofstatic began in Sheffield, United Kingdom in 2001 as Iain Armstrong, Paul Wolinski and Joe Shrewsbury. They originally formed to try to write music to fit the unreleased and little known John Carpenter film, ‘Stealth Bomber’ (starring Kurt Russell).

The band, originally named after an unreleased John Carpenter film, have just released new record Wild...

Setting an ancient selkie (seal people) folktale firmly in the here and now, Under Her Skin is a live experience of joyful irreverence, lyrical poetry, and killer riffs. With just two...

Often compared to Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake, quite favourably, no less, singer/songwriter Kathryn Williams was born in Liverpool in 1974. Here she performs songs from her new album Crown Electric as well as classics from her lengthy body of work.

Her tenth album has been made with the help of producer Neill MacColl, who previously worked with Kathryn on Two (2008) and The Quickening (2010). Crown Electric was narrowed down from a pool of 60 songs. Some grew out of solitude, others crackled into life during two collaborative songwriting retreats organised by Chris Difford....
