Exeter restaurant and live entertainment venue, Casa Maroc will be raising funds for the International Citizen Service charity this autumn with two lively party functions on Friday 5th and Saturday 20th September.
It is hoped that the events will also raise awareness about the work of the ICS who send young volunteers from the UK and many other 1st world countries to give valuable, life changing advice and practical hands-on aid in the developing world, often in places rife with famine, poverty and civil war.
Entertainment will include a stand-up routine from local comedian...
The O'Marleys play traditional Irish and Celtic music with the addition of jazz and reggae lilts. Taking songs from The Dubliners, The Pogues and the whole Irish tradition, they whip up a storm of an evening with dances, tunes and songs that anyone can join in with. The menu is fun, fun, and more fun, followed by... even more fun.
Featuring Mac Moulton on the fiddle, John Fitzsimons on guitar and James King on the Irish drum (bodhran) they all sing, creating a hefty blend of voices over the music. Guaranteed to warm hearts and set feet tapping....
A message from Jess: "There is a lot of music out there. We are exposed to thousands of people singing at us every single day. Talent shows and youtube feed our society images of pretty little girls screeching impressively high notes, and sweet little wide eyed boys playing 5 instruments at once, all bleating out Adele and Michael Jackson covers. Amazing.
I do not sing, write or play to impress or astound. I am readily aware that there is nothing I can do that someone else can't do better: scales, arpeggios, playing Rachmaninov on a Steinway on top...
Three separate sets from the wonderful Dave Wood & friends...
A solo set by Dave will be followed by a duet with the marvellous Claire Anstee on flute and accompanying vocals, under the moniker "Pair O' Dice Found". The evening will then be topped off with a headline set by Dave's much-loved and recently resurrected band, Rifiki.
Dave Wood is highly regarded for his ability to re-interpret traditional songs and tunes as well as classics from The Beatles and Motown era. His own songs are particularly popular and his song May the Kindness has been...
Mudskippers are an acoustic trio from Exeter consisting of cello, clarinet and acoustic guitar. Their beautifully rich songs are influenced by modern English folk legends and effectively blend a range of different styles and genres, including indie, latin, progressive rock and world music. Mudskippers play their own compositions with the occasional cover by the likes of Roy Harper & Nick Drake.
Mudskippers originally formed in 1991 and split in 1994. A chance meeting between Bully (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Jo Hooper (cello) in 2010 led to a rekindling of their musical...
The friendly team at Casa Maroc on Bartholomew Street East in Exeter welcomed customers into the exotic surroundings of the Casablanca Lounge below the restaurant to sample the delights of their new spring menu.
Guests enjoyed a handsome spread of new dishes to savour, from Arancini di Riso to new pasta dishes and old favourites such as Lamb Stifado and a variety of tasty tajines.
After being Gino’s for many years, I was intrigued to see what changes Casa Maroc were bringing to the restaurant situated on Bartholomew Street.
I visited Casa Maroc on a Thursday evening and despite Exeter’s car parks being full and the outside of the restaurant being brightly lit and inviting, I was surprised to find the restaurant relatively empty.
I visited the restaurant just a couple weeks after its re-opening and new menu launch. I was warmly greeted by new manager Rob Neil and was pleased to be offered to sit wherever I wished.
A newly opened restaurant in Exeter is proving to be such a draw for customers that the owners are pushing ahead with expansion plans ahead of schedule. As a result, Casa Maroc – which serves traditional Moroccan and Italian cuisine in its city centre restaurant – will launch Casablanca Lounge Bar, a new cocktail bar and live entertainment venue, in the basement of the extensively renovated Old Malthouse on Bartholomew Street East, on 12 September.
Offering classic cocktails, fine wines and speciality beers in a sumptuously styled and unique interior that takes inspiration from all...
