The guys from Persian Rabbit like to call themselves a ‘modern, dark, hippy quintet’, a designation which is indeed quite accurate. Diving into the deep and twisted waters of their intimate world, this Lille-based band creates breathtaking post rock, right in between Godspeed You’s experimentation and Shannon Wright’s delicate folk rock.
Thanks to their presence and original line-up (harmonium, double bass, acoustic and electric drums and guitar), their music works like a charm on stage.
Christopher Awdry, the present author of Thomas The Tank Engine stories, will be visiting Pecorama on Saturday and Sunday 15th and 16th June to read from the famous books.
Christopher will also be available to sign your cherished copy of the stories if you so wish. Don't worry if you cannot find your books, as we will have a good stock on sale for the occasion.
Please telephone us to confirm timings for the day.
The event is free but normal admission prices to Pecorama will apply on the day for Adults of £8.50 (17-64 years)
The Story of Thomas Clarkson's part in the campaign to end the story of the slave trade
If the nineteenth century abolished slavery why are more than 20 million people enslaved today? To our shame the work of Clarkson and Wilberforce remains unfinished: human trafficking and indentured labour proliferate everywhere. Does our lifestyle make us unwittingly complicit in this?

Ticket Price: £6 (pay what you can on door – minimum £2)...
It’s that time of year when we like to spring clean our wardrobes, and what a better way to do it than a clothing swap with some other local Exeter Ladies! So dig deep in your closets and pull out those clothes you don’t wear and come down to trade them in for new ones!
And to make this all a bit more wonderful we will be doing this all in the name of Charity! All of the left over clothes and donations will be given to Exeters own SAFE – a charity to help stop domestic abuse.
Cover on the door will be £5.
