Yes Sir Boss's diverse up-tempo sound takes the rhythmic foundations of ska and funk, and injects them with bluesy guitar riffs, spaghetti-western tinged jazz horns and pop-infused vocal melodies to create an irresistibly catchy mix with more than enough bite to cater to fans of all genres.
On 15 April Yes Sir Boss release Mrs #1 featuring label owner Joss Stone, the band’s second single taken from debut album Desperation State.
Showcasing a more accessible pop sound, Mrs #1 combines spacious instrumentation with catchy horn melodies and a driving funk bass line, all of...
When Exeter CND arranged this public meeting, at which Bruce Kent will speak, we invited Devon's MPs to come and debate with him. Unfortunately none could make it so we asked the main local political parties to send representatives to the debate. After all, the three main parties all officially support Britain's nuclear weapons programme, i.e Trident or some variant.
Unlike the MPs none of the parties has responded, not even to refuse to debate with us. As suuport for Trident is now a minority viewpoint in the UK one might expect that those who consider the system to be...
Marsh Barton Security Services celebrates 30 years of trading next month and new owner Marcus Di-Vincenzo takes stock of how far security has actually come from when it was first required back in the middle ages.
Until the 1980s, the term Watchmen was more commonly applied to the function known as security, a usage dating back to at least 1233 when the Ordinance applied the need for such a service. This term was carried over to North America where it was interchangeable with night-watchman until both terms were replaced with the modern security-based titles. Security guards are...

Paignton Zoo in Devon has built a zip-line for its tigers.
Keepers at the park – a registered charity – have devised the thrill ride with help from woodland adventure company Treesurfers.
In fact, it is the big cats’ lunch that will ride the zip-line – all the tigers have to do is catch it.
Senior Head Keeper of Mammals Matthew Webb explained: “We have used things such as hanging bags in the past to encourage them to get a bit more physical. Now we have the zip line, down which we can send meat for the tigers to chase and jump at.
Rochdale recorded their first victory at St James Park in 13 years as they turned a 1-0 deficit on its head late on to win 2-1.
The game had been on a knife-edge throughout with both teams providing plenty of opportunities to produce, much to the gratification of Jamie Cureton who responded by putting Exeter ahead on the stroke of half-time.
The Dale, though, never gave up the ghost, continuing to press to the last and were duly rewarded with late goals from Ian Henderson and Bobby Grant to come away with an invaluable three points...
Australian international Dean Mumm believes the strong "spirit and belief" that exists within the Exeter Chiefs squad will be a key factor as the Devon club look to seal their place in the top six of this season's Aviva Premiership.
Having secured their spot in the Heineken Cup with victory at Worcester Warriors last season, the 29-year-old forward is hoping his side's latest 24-18 success at Sixways can prove crucial in their quest to feature amongst Europe's elite again next term.
With just two minutes remaining on Saturday, Mumm picked the perfect moment to claim his...
