Persian Rabbit

Event Date: 
19/06/2013 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix, Gandy Street, Exeter

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.

New Theatre, Friars Gate, Exeter

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?

As we reflect on the courage and tenacity of Thomas Clarkson we ask: Could two ageing grumpies sort the outrage of modern day slavery?

Ticket Price: £6 (pay what you can on door – minimum £2)...
