Maria caught up with The Lovebugs backstage at the AVO sessions last Sunday. The Lovebugs have released a best of album, The Best of Lovebugs: Only Forever.  Adrian Sieber, lead vocalist, and Stefan Wagner, keyboards, talk about radio in Basel in the days before Radio X, why Adrian sings in English,  and what it means to reach across the Rösti-graben. See our Music Reviews page for more.

Amy Stapelton takes a trip to Geneva for this month's Roadtrip Report. Louise Haughton reviews the popular Noohn restaurant.

Catherine Rhatigan, on the left with her sisters Prannie and Margaret, tells Ciarán about the upcoming Christmas concert by Tale of the Gael - at the Elisabethen Kirche on December 4th.

Joanne Ralph interviews Tina Keller from the Theater Basel.  After a superb season last fall, the Theater Basel won “Opera House of the Year”, over full time opera houses elsewhere in Europe and the world.  Tina tells us about that and also about two upcoming performances in the English Abo, Hughie on Dec 2nd and next year's Romeo and Juliet, and what's in the offing for kids for Christmas.

We have two pairs (2 X 2) of tickets to give away for the upcoming show Hughie at the Theater Basel. Tell us one other performance in this years' English Abo not already mentioned tonight and we'll enter your name in the drawing.
