About this event

CURVED AIR: THE FAREWELL TOUR is on Sunday 5 September 2027 at Phoenix, Exeter, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £25.30, including the booking fee.

Sixty years after they burst onto the burgeoning prog rock scene it's time to bid a fond farewell to one of the all-time great British bands famed for their unforgettable live performances and "Art Rock' music with beautiful and demonic violin combined with electronic adventurous synths, interwoven with fantastic guitar wizardry mesmerisingly embroidered by the subliminal and exotic vocal prescence of the ever present legendary lead singer Sonja Kristina. These elements elevated them from the underground Roundhouse scene to top the album.charts in the early 70s. All good things come to an end and this all seated concert will see an emotional farewell to one of the best loved bands of all time. Their previous show at the venue was a complete sell out with the ecstatic audience awarding them a heartfelt standing ovation!! The end of a wonderful era!! STOP PRESS This will be their last ever small venue show!!!

Word Kitchen's Festive Fandango

Phoenix · Exeter

Grab your diary and hold the date! Our pre-Christmas Festive Fandango returns on December Fifteenth after a sell-out event last year. Combining music and words we will offer a feast of fine things at Exeter Phoenix, with fizz and and festive nibbles amongst the mastery, mayhem and magic on offer! Edward Tripp will bless us with his presence as our special guest. The frighteningly funny master of the surreal will be introducing his new anthology of poems, freshly minted off the press. Songsmith Peter Farrie, so popular in 2026, will entertain and serenade us with his delightful ditties. There may even be a community song which we will all contribute to on the night! We will be joined by a cast of readers with both fresh and familiar writing about the festive season, with stories, poems, reflections, memories and hopes for the future as the year proceeds towards its end. Our fiercely contested book quiz will be back. Last year a team swept all before them and we expect there to be to be a sharp elbow or two as teams battle it out to be book champions. Don't worry - we've sacked Pippa as quiz master, and because it's Christmas EVERYONE will get a present! Do come along and experience...
