From Devon Dub to Dartmoor, Exeter Fringe to Exmouth Sit-down Sundays

Festivals on The Multifarious Mix today were featured alongside other events and relevant music. Great to have assistance from Nick Chowdrey
of Monkeys With Puns and
Joe Selman Leava of SourDough Theatre, both of whom spoke eloquently and authoratively about a number of events, some of which they are personally involved with.

Fantastic live music too from KAT With Attitude - Kat Jenkins and Jim Howden. Jim claims that Kat was "the star" and he just "plonked in the background". The first bit is fair enough as Kat sang beautifully with great sensitivity but Joe and I thought that his guitar contribution was much more than plonking - he's a superb guitarist. They gave us California Dreaming, Autumn Leaves and Walking After Midnight. See them at The Castle, Bradninch at 1pm this Saturday. This is but one event amongst many at Bradninch Festival this weekend.

Joe Selman Leva spoke to Cat Fairbrother and Dom Jinks about the play Blok/Eko which The Wrestling School in collaboration with the University of Exeter Drama Department and the Northcott Theatre is putting on at the theatre from 9 to 11 June.
The play has a cast of 110. It is wriiten by major writer of modern European theatre Howard Barker and explores power and sexuality with poetic and compelling language. Make your way to the Northcott for a very special performance.

Joe Selman Leava interviewed Kat Fairbrother and Dom Jinks who are involved with a tragedy of today Bloc / Echo, a play by Howard Barker which is at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter. It is a collaboration between University students and members of The Wresting School and runs from 9 to 11 June at 9:30
