Music in the Quay of Exe

Music in the Quay of Exe is a loose collective of venues and musicians spawned by the First Thursday Club@The Hourglass, Exeter. All events are currently hosted by The Coffee Cellar, Exeter Quay: our church, our home, our blues boudoir.

Praise but forget: Liverpool and Manchester, Birmingham and Coventry, London and Bristol (Memphis for a moment). We have and we are the Exe Delta. The Arcadia of drift to the south and the west. Strung between Beer and Brixham, Exmouth and Dawlish, the Exe runs south to the sea. Drought and sleep give way to monsters from the deep. The river heaves its back and gigs land.

Music in the Quay of Exe at The Coffee Cellar features IN A BIT OF A STATE – Rob Brown, vocals, Adam William Sweet, guitars, Lucy Kate Piper, drums, Ian Jennings, double bass – on Wednesday 11 December 2024. 

Jesus is Coming Soon, the first single from the band's forthcoming album is available at: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/robbrownsinabitofastate/jesus-is-coming-soon

"An absolutely magnificent night of music. Three stellar musicians orchestrated by a musical maverick. Live performance doesn't get much better than this. Till the next time." 

"Four world-class musicians enriched our lives with virtuoso performances. It was a great night at The Coffee Cellar, Exeter... the place was packed. Rob Brown, Adam Sweet, Ian Jennings and Lucy Piper, you are the best."

Gets/z Loose

Not a singer but indubitably a voice. We filmed and recorded a whole gig. And we can bear to watch it – blindfold. https://soundcloud.com/getszloose.

Jesus is Coming Soon

Jesus is Coming Soon by Blind Willie Johnson is the first release from an album by IN A BIT OF A STATE due in 2024. It is a driving preacher blues which recalls the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. Blind Willie warns, not of a Christmas coming of Jesus, but of the End.

The Disappearance of Finbar

Rob sang the key narrative 'pop' song in Jonathan Rhys Meyers' first film.

Back in the days

When the days weren't numbered. We haven't changed a bit. But the technology has. This was filmed at the Monmouth Festival. Gets/z Loose were briefly famous in Wales.
