BARFOOT BANDIT
THE BAREFOOT BANDIT ARE A HIGHLY ENERGETIC NEW-WAVE REGGAE/DUB BAND BASED IN DEVON, UK.
Their noise comprises of an electrifying blend of modern roots reggae, deep dark dub and a sprinkling of experimental soundscapes. Building a strong and loyal fan base, TBB have spread their sounds far and wide from headlining small stages at Glastonbury Festival to main stage performances at One Love Festival, Glass Butter Beach, Wonderfields and more. A lucrative debut tour of Ireland, countless shows around the UK and multiple appearances at Boomtown Fair have seen The Barefoot Bandit become a prolific festival outfit and perform their dynamic live show in front of audiences of 6000 plus. The band’s most recent work includes a collaboration with Extinction Rebellion – “Floods”.
REVELATION ROOTS DUB
REVELATION ROOTS IS A COLLABORATION OF BEAUTIFUL & HAPPY REGGAE MUSICIANS FROM SEVERAL RENOWNED BANDS ON THE UK REGGAE SCENE
Revelation Roots bring you fresh reggae sounds from the deepest depths of South West England. A J Penn’s smooth melodies meet Danny Salter’s dub drenched vocals to create the sizzling summer vibes which have made this band a firm favourite on the UK festival circuit’
FREE’THINK
JamC, Riffree and Chatta along with DJ Cynical decided in early 2017 to combine their like minded lyrical content and passion for hip-hop to create the collective that is Free’Minds. Each bringing their own identities and characters to life through their music, expressing their independent views and insights into the way they view the world.
ll three started off independently from one another but as close friends have featured on each others releases and music videos. Due to being part of GK Beats, the hip-hop sub-section of the London based Graffiti Kings, they’ve been able to reach a global fanbase with over 2 million followers and growing fast. This has allowed them to share their take on the world with a wider audience within the hip-hop community.

ABOUT EXETER RESPECT
Exeter Respect is the city’s annual celebration of diversity where we use the performing and creative arts to engage the wider community in saying no to racism and all forms of prejudice. The Respect ethos is a simple one: racism and prejudice often spring from fear, and fear is often based on ignorance, so let’s overcome ignorance by getting to know one another and sharing not shunning our cultures. One of the best ways to get to know someone is to enjoy yourself with them, hence our celebratory event and adoption of the old Commission for Racial Equality slogan:
All Different, All Equal!
The first Exeter Respect festival took place in 1997 and there has been a celebration virtually every year since then. From 2003 to 2008 Exeter Respect’s biggest event was at Exeter Phoenix Arts Centre, but from 2009 to the present day our focus has been a giant two day festival in Belmont Park, with a footfall of around 20,000 people every year.
