Little England Barbados Tour Sightseeing Tickets, Glory Tours, Bridgetown

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:25:00 GMT

Little England was what Barbados was called many years ago while still under British rule. While it is true that Barbados has been independent since 1966, there are still remnants of days gone by. Those days can be best seen in the gardens and great houses of the island. Andromeda Botanical Gardens is one of those gardens that spans back generations and is full of tropical colours and beautiful pathways that one can meander. Then head to St. Nicholas Abbey, one of the last remaining authentic houses of the 17th Century that exists anywhere in the "New World". Built around 1658, St. Nicholas Abbey is a phenomenal sight to behold. Along with the house tour and historic video, you will be invited to partake in a bit of Rum Tasting.

Cruise 'n' Walk Tour Sightseeing Tickets, Insider Tour, Berlín

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:27:00 GMT

See the historical centre of Berlin from a totally different perspective. Compliment your Famous Walk with an integrated one-hour open-top boat cruise on the river Spree. With more bridges than Venice, Berlin's waterways have much to offer.

Enjoy the sight of Berlin's iconic 'Dome' cathedral and the magnificent buildings of Museum Island from the water. We enable you to picture the full splendour of Berlin before the destruction and devastation of WWII and the subsequent tragedy of German partition. Learn how some waterways in this area are impassable due to the continued presence of munitions from WWII. Float by the Friedrichstrasse train station as we recount how the visa processing centre of this Cold War crossing point became known as the 'Palace of Tears'. Further on we see the building from where the East German border guards attempted to hinder escape attempts by operating a hydraulic underwater steel chain net across the Spree.

Further west, the stunning contrast between the historically significant Reichstag and its surrounding modern parliamentary buildings comes into full view. We cruise by the Premier's Office (Kanzleramt), a 300 year-old customs house (Zollstelle) and The House of World Cultures – America's gift to the Germans in 1957. Get a good look at Berlin's brash new glass and steel central railway station and learn how this 1990s building project earned the nickname 'The Knot'. We travel under the recently refurbished red sandstone Moltke bridge, where Soviet troops launched their final onslaught on the Reichstag in April 1945.

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:43:00 GMT

This collaboration between the great French jazz trumpeter Erik Truffaz and the extraordinary funk/soul/blues beatbox stylings of Simple Spirit's vocalist Sly Johnson has thrilled audiences across the world.

Erik Truffaz mines the world to create his unique form of jazz - the so-called 'European sounds' are really the sounds of the global village in the digital age. Fusing these world, electronic and ambient influences with an ongoing love for the music of Miles Davis and an incredible minimalist style, has led to a sound that is all his own and exemplified beautifully in this wonderful partnership with Sly Johnson (aka The Mic Buddah/The Beatboxologist) - a member of the acclaimed French rap collective Saian Supa Crew.
Band on the Wall is now delighted to bring this sensational duo to its Manchester stage.

"Truffaz plays less like Miles than a jazz-rock [Brian] Eno, making rapturous atmospheres from a minimum of notes ... a jazz with brawn, soul and plenty of wide open space." - David Fricke

This concert will begin at 8pm

Performing collaboratively for the first time, prepared piano player Hauschka, 12-string guitarist James Blackshaw, and singer/songwriter Nancy Elizabeth play their beautifully matched music together in a contoured programme of solo and ensemble performances.

The Kept Impulses tour brings together three gifted young music makers who weave traditional folk, contemporary classical and modern song into textured, emotional and transfixing songs and musical suites. The prepared piano player Hauschka (FatCat) from Germany, singer/multi-instrumentalist Nancy Elizabeth (Leaf Label) from Manchester, and the 12-string guitarist James Blackshaw (Young God) from Hastings, Kent are brought together for this special tour to entice concert halls with their beautifully matched music. All three have the endearing talent of being able to harness wild impulses into measured and musical journeys that run deep.

Each artist will perform their own material each night, with the other two musicians guesting on selected tracks. The ensemble will also perform material devised collaboratively together for the very first time. The acts are distinct but musically complimentary and these collaborations are an exciting prospect, combining Hauschka's percussive piano interventions with James Blackshaw's cascading acoustic guitar and Nancy Elizabeth's pure and emotive vocals.
