It might seem counterintuitive for a producer to detach themselves from one of the planet’s most thriving music scenes, but in the case of Julio Bashmore, that’s exactly what he did growing up in bass music hotbed, Bristol. You see, Julio’s first love is house music. And operating just on the peripheries of the city’s scene has allowed him to quietly cultivate a take on the genre unlike any other.
Sidmouth based Fords South West Ltd is celebrating a trio of apprentices as it continues its commitment to providing opportunities for young people through its apprenticeship scheme. The newest Fords recruit, 16-year old Giles Richards from Honiton, is just beginning his electrical apprenticeship.

Campaign director Peter de Vena Franks said: “Will Aid is now open for business. You can make a November appointment right now and we suggest you do it as soon as possible to avoid...

Giselle Ansley, part of the GB hockey squad who won gold in Rio 2016, paid Exeter School pupils a visit on Thursday 13 October. It was great for pupils to see how somebody from South Devon has gone on to represent GB at the Olympics and brought home a gold medal!
