CLEARWATER CREEDANCE REVIVAL
plus support
EXETER PHOENIX
Sat 14 June 2025
Hear the classic songs of Creedance Clearwater Revival such as ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Bad Moon Rising’, ‘Have You Ever Seen The Rain’, ‘Born on the Bayou’, ‘Fortunate Son’, ‘Down on the Corner’ and ‘Up Around the Bend’ played in the style they deserve by tribute act Clearwater Creedance Revival.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, commonly abbreviated as CCR or simply Creedence, was an American rock band formed in El Cerrito, California. The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford.
The band’s most prolific and successful period between 1969 and 1971 produced fourteen consecutive Top 10 singles (many of which were double A-sides) and five consecutive Top 10 albums in the United States – two of which, Green River (1969) and Cosmo’s Factory (1970), reached number one. The band also performed at the legendary 1969 Woodstock festival.
CCR’s music remains popular and is a staple of U.S. classic rock radio airplay; 45 million CCR records have been sold in the U.S. alone. The compilation album ‘Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits’, originally released in 1976, is still on the Billboard 200 album chart and reached the 600-week mark in August 2022. It has been certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for at least 12 million copies sold in the U.S.
This is a fundraiser for Exeter community radio station Phonic FM.
GONG + HENGE
EXETER PHOENIX
Wed 12 Nov 2025
HENGE and GONG will be performing as joint headliners on the Sounds of the Cosmos Tour, sharing equal billing across all dates. To keep things exciting, the order of performance will alternate from show to show. As such, we won’t be revealing in advance who will be opening or closing on any given night. Please arrive in time for the advertised start, and plan to stay until the end to enjoy the full experience.
Henge
Extra-terrestrial joy-mongers HENGE have been delighting audiences in the UK and Europe since they landed on Planet Earth seven years ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards and they have since cemented their reputation with two acclaimed albums, numerous tours and regular main-stage festival appearances.
Their music escapes definition but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.
Gong
From its beginnings in a French commune in 1967, through the Virgin Records years, mismanagement, court cases, break-ups and re-joining’s, deaths and rebirths – there has always been a continuous thread of beautiful, dangerous and extraordinary music emanating from Gong.
The current holders of the flame have come together over the last eight years; sinuous bass player Dave Sturt joined just as the album 2032 was shown to the world; Ian East (Sax, Flute) was the next to blow in through the portal; Fabio Golfetti brought his guitars from Brazil (after working with Daevid Allen for many years); Kavus Torabi (lead vox and guitars) appeared to Daevid in a vision; Cheb Nettles (drums) just sort of turned up.
Gong’s musically diverse world includes shades of psychedelia, space rock, jazz, avant-garde, krautrock and surreal soundscapes. Gong consists of: Kavus Torabi: Vocals, Guitars Dave Sturt: Bass, Ian East: Sax, Cheb Nettles: Drums, and Fabio Golfetti: Guitars.
This event is a fundraiser for Exeter’s sound alternative community radio station, Phonic FM.
