The Undercover Hippy

Exeter Phoenix

Combining intelligent, provocative lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel good groove, this is music for the thinking man to shake his stuff to. Think Jason Mraz meets The Cat Empire…on a protest march…at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Billy Rowan, aka The Undercover Hippy, is definitely not your average singer songwriter. His music brings together elements of folk, hip-hop, and reggae with the lyrical delivery of a skilled MC.

Exeter Phoenix

Meet Nel: a foley artist. Don’t know what that is? She makes sound for films. In her world a tyre-screech is a hot water-bottle and an epic fight scene is composed of frozen cabbages and snapping rhubarb. But for the first time in her life, she finds herself completely alone. Her cat’s died and she accidentally poisoned her fish. She needs a friend. But she is afraid.
