After supporting Enter Shikari on their 2012 tour, Canada’s favourite good-time metallers Cancer Bats have announced that they will be returning to the UK for a mammoth headline tour in March 2013, which will see them playing here, at Exeter Phoenix.
To say that the tour with Enter Shikari has been a success would be a gross understatement. The band saw a packed out Roundhouse erupt into a human whirlpool of hyped up moshers and sweaty flailing limbs in response to an relentless collection of Cancer Bats’ finest.
The stunning evening's baroque programme will feature: Vivaldi – Gloria Pergolesi – Magnificat Handel – Chandos Anthem No. 9: O praise the Lord Conductor: Andrew Millington

Helen Rappaport, author and historian, takes a close-up view of the murder of the Romanovs in Ekaterinburg in July 1918, examining the nature of the family’s captivity inside the Ipatiev House, the botched and hasty disposal of the bodies afterwards and the subsequent search to uncover the remains and subject them to DNA testing. She will also bring the story up to date by explaining how the Romanovs, now elevated to sainthood, are at the heart of a massive revival of the Orthodox Church in Russia.
The National Theatre Live Screening from London of 'This House' - a new play by James Graham It’s 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. Biting and energetic, This House strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments

John Spiers & Jon Boden are well known for their involvement as founding members of the big band folk phenomenon that is Bellowhead. They have played together as a duo for over 10 years now and have established themselves as a very well respected act on the English traditional music scene.
