SOUL singer Joss Stone is making a special guest appearance at July’s Larmer Tree Festival.

The Grammy Award-winning diva will be performing with the rootsy ska group Yes Sir Boss on the main stage on Thursday July 12.

James Shepard, founder and codirector of Larmer Tree Festival, said: “Having Joss Stone gig with Yes Sir Boss is an unexpected but great bonus, which will only magnify an already fantastic evening of music and comedy.

Yes Sir Boss is an exciting new band, which looks set to make waves on the music scene this year, and is perfect for Larmer Tree’s ethos of supporting up and coming talent.”

The band will be playing at 6.55pm on the main stage and then again at 11.45pm in The Social. The first artists to be signed to Joss Stone’s own record label, Stone’s Records, Yes Sir Boss hail from Bristol and have a wide appeal. Larmer Treeaudiences can enjoy the band’s party-style music and get up and dance.

Larmer Tree Festival runs from Wednesday, July 11 until Sunday, July 15. Ticket information is available from larmertreefestival.co.u/ tickets.html
