Le Navet Bete are back in the Exeter Phoenix after the success of Dick Tracy and are bringing their wildest show back out for a few special dates this summer…

Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

Often described as ‘Steeleye Span on acid’, Trembling Bells are noted for their collaborations with both Bonnie Prince Billy and Mike Heron of the incredible String Band.
