Festival Bookclub
Local author, Jane Feaver’s latest book ‘Love Me Tender’ is a collection of interlinked short stories about life in a small town in the South West. Here’s the plan; read the book before the festival, turn up at 2pm in The Bridge and discuss the book with others. Leading the discussion will be the author, Jane Feaver. Limited books will be available to read from The Paper shop in Hatherleigh. ”The power of Feaver’s writing is a spartan pleasure: when shafts of poetical insight or tenderness break through its restraint they are genuinely luminous and moving.” The Guardian.

Eat The Rich
Eat the Rich
“….So our drummer was in the loo during half-time at one of our gigs. He overhears a conversation between two guys… ‘I love the band – but what are they?’ ‘They’re a folk band, bit raucous like.’ ‘No, they’re more like a punk band’ ‘I dunno – folk punk band then…’ And fiddle punk was born! We write our own songs, we mug traditional songs in a dark alley way, we even do some other people’s songs and add a twist or two. And we’re proud to come from Devon with all its good and bad. Feel it, live it – so come and see it!”
