An awesome and ridiculous film that leaves you thrilled beyond the point of your natural endurance

Theatre
The show has suddenly become quite wonderful, and the galvanising factor is the terrific stage debut of Melanie C
Blood Brothers
Music
The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed
Muse
I was smitten by both Gilberts enormous luxuriant moustache and the intelligence and nuance of this highly entertaining play
I totally recommend Babbo to anyone who is looking for really good and traditional Italian food
Always been a fan but never seen them live. I was ecstatic to be part of this epic event. WOW!

Dir: Stefan Schwietert.
Description: German director Stefan Schwietert celebrates the Swiss tradition of yodelling in this documentary, focusing on three very different exponents of the genre. The filmmaker reveals the personal histories of singers Noldi Alder, Erika Stucky and Christian Zehnder, their influences and the stories they convey through their art.
Country: SWITZ/GER. 2007. 82mins
Echoes of Home: a beautiful and complex film
A documentary about three Swiss yodellers may not sound enticing but Stefan Schwietert’s film shows the singers as radical musicians steeped in a tradition that marks their national identity but also determined to explore music from Africa and Latin America.
The result is a more complex, beautiful film than one had dared to hope. I’ll never giggle at yodelling again.
