The Britsound Radio Show
The Britsound Radio Show is a one hour a week syndicated radio show that currently broadcasts exclusively British music to American audiences.

Each week the show plays both new and classic British music. Occasionally there are artist interviews as well. Previous interviews include Art Brut, Aqualung, Guillemots, Jamie Cullum, Chris Rea, Vib Gyor, Gomez, Supergrass, Editors, Elbow, Johnny Marr, The Silencers, Eric Burdon.
Critical reception
Time Out Chicago magazine in its June 8, 2006 edition wrote that Britsound "exposes some great, largely unknown Brit bands. Listen in with pen and paper ready for gems...". Britsound's interview with Chris Rea was chosen as the feature interview in Chris Rea's "Farewell Tour 2006 - The Road to Hell and Back" Tour Programme.
Britain's The Independent newspaper published an article on April 22, 2007 on the success of British artists in the US and noted that the term 'Britsound' has been used as "radio stations in the US have begun calling it" to describe the new wave of British artists doing well in American charts.

Each of these film frames (Aufnahme) numbers 4 to 6 correspond aproximately to 0.5 seconds of a sequence. The left column shows the novice, the right shows the experienced driver.
Picture (Bild) 97 shows that the experienced driver checks the curve and even has fixation number 9 left to look at a bird (?) while the novice still struggles with checking the road and estimating the distance to the parked car.
Picture 99 shows that the novice is busy estimating the distance between the left wall and the parked car, while the experienced driver can use his peripheral vision for that and concentrates on the dangerous point of the curve: If a car appears there he has to react and stop to the right before passing the parked car.

Clitty Delish was a British drag performer who gained cult following in the 1980s and early 1990s; appearing at various venues across the UK and Ibiza . She is the alter ego of the artist David Newbold. Though drag acts are usually associated with Catty attitudes, Clitty Delish adopted a snobbish witt with which to belittle her audience. Although primarily known as an extravagant drag queen persona, Clitty has also appeared as a Lesbian male impersonator at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival billed as Delish Clitty . Altercations between Clitty and a customer at the club in Brighton led to her appearance at the Camp Camp weekender where stars such as Media:Lily Savage and HRH Regina Fong appeared. Photographs taken of Clitty Delish appeared in the British Tabloids in 1984 as a library image depicting all homosexuals as 'Men in Frocks'. The image has appeared since but not in the homophobic tone of the early 80's.
Career
In the early days of her career Clitty Delish was compared with American icon Divine Media:Divine with her stomach churning dress sense, which consisted of clashing neons, chintzs, pompoms and feathers, and incredibly garish make up she was a sight once seen, not easily forgotten! Clittys larger than life character (and body) and the way she was presented and portrayed as a drag queen made a huge impact on the UK drag circuit. She was and is still very widely copied and some of todays drag characters bear evidence to a previous audience attendance.
By the mid 1990s, after being "Damed/Damned" whilst hosting a charity extravaganza, Clitty underwent a format metamorphise, shedding her former garish self and emerging as Aristocratic glamour puss! Gone were the outlandish clothes, in with the velvets, satins sequins and diamante. Towards the end of the 1990s Clitty underwent her second change of image and here emerged in her last guise as Dominatrix supreme! Leather, pvc, collars, cuffs, chains and thigh boots were the order of the day!
Besides her stage work Clitty Delish was also a respected psychic. Her monthly horoscopes "Psychic Clit Predicts" were eagerly awaited by many.
These days Dame Clitty lives a quiet life in semi retirement spending her days pottering around in her beloved vintage Porsche, lunching with ladies and rummaging through antique shops. She does however sometimes emerge from her stately abode for charitable events and to occasionally dip her toes in the water when the call the greasepaint becomes to strong!
