Wikileaks - Behind The News (Sheffield Docfest 9/6/11)
Moderator: Nick Fraser
Participants: Judith I Ehrlich, Vaughan Smith, Michael Parenti, James Ball
Welcome to the age of Wikileaks – never out of the news as subject matter or source. But what is the organisation’s real impact? Has it altered international relations and brought down governments? Has it change the way news is gathered and released forever - or merely made diplomats more discreet with their email exchanges? In search of the story behind the story, we’ve invited a panel of people closely connected to Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Journalist and BBC commissioning editor Nick Fraser, is keen to ask them some questions...

Nkulee Dube - Africa Festival Würzburg 06/05/2011
No female artist has managed to fuse ethno-soul, jazz with ethno-ragga in one song as this 24-year old singer, songwriter, Nkulee Dube has done in such a short space of time since entering this challenging and yet exciting industry.
Born to the family of a music legend, Nkulee Dube has big shoes to fill to preserve and sustain the name of her late father, Lucky Dube. She glides and slides with ease in between her songs as she traverses between ragga and ethno-soul as if she was born on stage. As a guest artist and backing vocalist Nkulee has been part of her late father’s band ‘One People’, and has performed at major festivals in Australia, Holland, Papa New Genea, French Gayana, etc.

Scott Walker Scores Duet For One At Royal Opera House
Walker says: “I must admit to not really being an admirer of Cocteau. I am, however, an admirer of Aletta Collins and her work. So when Aletta asked me to collaborate with the intention of deconstructing the original script for dance, I was grateful for the challenge to help take what is essentially, in my humble opinion, an antiquated piece of misogyny (in this case, woman as willing victim) and try to turn it on its head and use its traces to create something new."
Duet For One is performed alongside La Voix Humane, Poulenc’s opera based on Cocteau’s play from 1932, staged by Tom Cairns. London Royal Opera House, 17–25 June, 7:45pm, £10.20–£24.50.
