We round off 2012 with "the most remarkable bluesman of his generation" (Blues in Britain). This charismatic multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and one man band is one of our most entertaining acts.

What is a river? This superficially simplistic question led Jem Southam, one of the UK’s most respected photographers, down a three-year investigation of the River Exe.
Jem has produced exciting new work observing and documenting the body of water running from Exmoor in the north through Exeter to the Exe Estuary.
