10 January 2012 DJ Proteus, HE Sarah Gillett, Rob Stuart 

Another great show with a diverse and interesting list of guests. Plus of course the usual cultural events, local and Swiss news, sports report and more!

DJ Proteus at workFirst up, Anna talked to DJ Proteus on New Year's Eve in Basel, just minutes after his midnight set. Proteus hails from Finland and is one of the world’s best-known Hardstyle DJs. He told us about the Hardstyle music genre, how to deconstruct a track, and the perils of 6-hour DJ sets. You can listen to the report here.

Proteus will certainly be back in Basel at some point, so if you like to dance to this kind of music - and you really should - then don't miss his set.

 

 

 

 

 

HE Sarah Gillett - looking after Britain's interests in Switzerland, including its citizens.Britain's Ambassador to Switzerland (and Liechtenstein!) paid a visit to Basel this evening. HE Sarah Gillett was guest of honour at a New Year reception organised by the British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce.

Suitably camouflaged as a captain of industry, reporter Andrew Craven slipped in before proceedings got under way. After welcoming the Ambassador to Basel and for her maiden appearance on The English Show, he asked her what we can look forward to in 2012. Click here to hear the interview.

 

 

 

 

Rob StuartAnd finally, Rob Stuart came into the studio to tell us what's happening at a cinema near you. From Sherlock Holmes to Mission Impossible, from George Clooney to Kate Winslet, they're all featured in another in-depth look at current films.
