Berlin Cabaret: Loft at the Chamaleon Theatre Berlin has been called the Capital of Cabaret and a top priority of our Expedia Blogger Shaped Travel trip was to take in a live show. But even as we picked up the tickets, we had no idea how much we’d be drawn into the spectacle of the [...]

Behind the scenes tour: Staatstheater Mainz
Behind the scenes at Staatstheater Mainz Have you ever taken a behind-the-scenes tour of a theatre or opera house? Most cities offer this glimpse into the land of make believe. We did a great one at the Marionetten Theater in Vienna. They’re a good way to see some tricks as well as get under the [...]
Boy Bands, Chain Dancing & Doom Metal: Faroese music
You can really get to know a country by its music. And just like the islands themselves, Faroese music is surprisingly varied and eclectic. After a morning with Faroese textile artist Astrid Andreasen, we visited the legendary Tutl Records to get some insider insights into the diverse pleasures of the Faroese music scene… Boy Bands, [...]
Lake District passion, percussion and pyrotechnics
London 2012 Festival in Windermere The World Premiere of the North’s contribution to the London 2012 Festival, ‘On The Night Shift’, was billed as a fusion of fire, motion and rhythm. But if you hold an outdoor event in the English Lakes, you can expect water to play a part too. And while the rain [...]
Family music making music with a carrot….
Making music with a carrot… With a contemporary Icelandic music group What is music anyway? It’s not a question I expected to be asking myself at a children’s music concert. But Iceland is a land full of the unexpected and, as we were warned on the plane here, things here can be a little different [...]

Each day brings a new travel related theme to explore and it’s been fun taking time out each day to think back on our family travels in different ways. So [...]
Looney tunes in Slovakia’s High Tatras
Looney tunes in Slovakia’s High Tatras The kids noticed them first, in a souvenir shop in Strbske Pleso, up in the Slovakian High Tatras. They weren’t easy to find, amongst thousands of items of folksy themed tourist tat. But there they were; alongside Vyoke Tatry sheep, above Tatry goat bells, below heart shaped leather ‘I love Tatry’ [...]
Mood music
Mood music Riding along in the Slovakian sunshine, through pasture, forest and village, following streams and rivers up and down the gently rolling hills, chasing birds and butterflies, it’s hard not to be in the mood for riding. At least when the sun’s not too hot. Or when the gradient’s not too steep. Or when [...]
Hungarian rhapsody: Hungarian National Dance Theatre
Hungarian National Dance Theatre The women look like dancers. In their circle skirts and petticoats and coloured aprons and long hair woven into neat plaits with ribbons, there’s little doubt they are about to leap about. But the men? They are different ages and shapes and sizes. They wear hats and moustaches, and many [...]
Unfinished Symphony?
Unfinished Symphony There are so many quiet riverside spots for music making on the Danube as it runs its two thousand plus kilometre course towards the Black Sea. And at many of them nature plays her own symphony. The woods, streams, meadows and wildlife have their own sweet melodies, harmonies and rhythms. The white noise of water [...]
