  • Mark Knopfler 2015 Veranstaltungsort Westfalenhalle Einlass Ca. 18:30
    17.06.2015 Mark Knopfler 2015 Veranstaltungsort Westfalenhalle Einlass ca. 18:30 Uhr Beginn 20:00 Uhr Ende 22:45 Uhr Veranstalter Dirk Becker Entertainment GmbH Mark Knopfler hat der populären Musik mit einigen ihrer besten Songs immer wieder wichtige Impulse geliefert. Als genialer Gitarrist, Sänger und Songschreiber von Dire Straits, die sicher zu den größten Rockbands aller Zeiten gehören, erlangte er Weltruhm. Seine neun Soloalben knüpfen an die von ihm begründete Songtradition an und verbinden beide Schaffensperioden zu begeisternden Live-Erlebnissen. Mit rund 120 Millionen Alben zählt er zu einem illustren Kreis von Interpreten, die überragender Erfolg und bleibende Bedeutung auszeichnet. Auf den mehrfachen Grammy-Gewinner trifft die Bezeichnung Superstar wirklich zu, obwohl er sich nie als solcher geriert. Seine Musik bezeichnete ein Kritiker treffend als „Gegenentwurf zum hektischen Popzirkus, der selbst zum Welterfolg avancierte“. Mark Knopfler präsentiert seine aktuellen Songs, eine Auswahl aus seinen Soloalben und selbstverständlich einige markante Hits der 20-jährigen Dire Straits-Ära auf einer Europatournee, die ihn auch nach Deutschland führt. Salem, Hamburg, Dortmund, Mainz, Mannheim, Köln, Bad Kissingen, Stuttgart, Hannover, Berlin, Leipzig und München sind vom 31. Mai bis 11. Juli die Stationen. Sein neues Album „Tracker“ wird Anfang des Jahres veröffentlicht. Mark Knopfler, der kreative Dreh- und Angelpunkt der Dire Straits, wird von vielen Experten als Schlüsselinterpret der Rockgeschichte eingestuft. Er prägte einen einzigartigen Gitarrenstil und den für ihn typischen Sprechgesang, der dennoch eindrucksvolle melodische Züge trägt. Er gilt als ironischer Geschichtenerzähler, der ein Schicksal in drei bis vier Strophen auf den Punkt bringen kann. Sein Œuvre spiegelt Vielseitigkeit und Schaffenskraft des in Glasgow geborenen Musikers, der in Englisch promovierte, Vorlesungen hielt und seine akademische Karriere schließlich gegen die Gitarre eintauschte.

Secondly, homebrewed beer can be every bit as good as — if not better than — a lot of commercial beer, with more flavor and character than most. In fact, avoiding mass-market beer was the original inspiration for homebrewing. Thirdly, homebrewing is a hobby that pays many dividends, from having your own house brand of beer to hanging colorful award ribbons on your wall to earning the undying admiration of your beer-drinking buddies. (Warning: Admiration can be addictive.) In this chapter, I give you an overview of the topics covered in detail in the rest of the book as well as a bit of the history of homebrewing and its recent surge in popularity. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Homebrewers Abound! Becoming a homebrewer means you’re in good company. According to the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in Boulder, Colorado, an estimated 1 million homebrewers are brewing in the United States. That’s a lot of brewers. And the hobby continues to expand every year. Recent estimates indicate that over 1,000 homebrew supply retailers and several hundred homebrewing clubs have popped up in response to homebrewing’s growing popularity.

    NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company 1 Welcome to the annual Nielsen Music Year End Report for Canada, providing the definitive 2016 figures and charts for the music industry. And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on. And yet, despite the sadness of these losses, there is much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall consumption of album sales, song sales and audio on-demand streaming volume is up 5% over 2015, fueled by an incredible 203% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. 2016 also marked the highest vinyl sales total to date. It was an incredible year for Canadian artists, at home and abroad. Eight different Canadian artists had #1 albums in 2016, led by Drake whose album Views was the biggest album of the year in Canada as well as the U.S. The Tragically Hip had two albums reach the top of the chart as well, their latest release and their 2005 best of album, and their emotional farewell concert in August was something we’ll remember for a long time. Justin Bieber, Billy Talent, Céline Dion, Shawn Mendes, Leonard Cohen and The Weeknd also spent time at #1. Break out artist Alessia Cara as well as accomplished superstar Michael Buble also enjoyed successes this year.

  • Canada's Public Space
    CBC/Radio-Canada: Canada’s Public Space Where we’re going At CBC/Radio-Canada, we have been transforming the way we engage with Canadians. In June 2014, we launched Strategy 2020: A Space for Us All, a plan to make the public broadcaster more local, more digital, and financially sustainable. We’ve come a long way since then, and Canadians are seeing the difference. Many are engaging with us, and with each other, in ways they could not have imagined a few years ago. Our connection with the people we serve can be more personal, more relevant, more vibrant. Our commitment to Canadians is that by 2020, CBC/Radio-Canada will be Canada’s public space where these conversations live. Digital is here Last October 19, Canadians showed us that their future is already digital. On that election night, almost 9 million Canadians followed the election results on our CBC.ca and Radio-Canada.ca digital sites. More precisely, they engaged with us and with each other, posting comments, tweeting our content, holding digital conversations. CBC/Radio-Canada already reaches more than 50% of all online millennials in Canada every month. We must move fast enough to stay relevant to them, while making sure we don’t leave behind those Canadians who depend on our traditional services. It’s a challenge every public broadcaster in the world is facing, and CBC/Radio-Canada is further ahead than many. Our Goal The goal of our strategy is to double our digital reach so that 18 million Canadians, one out of two, will be using our digital services each month by 2020.

When our families embarked upon this journey, we never imagined the potential for Gord’s telling of Chanie’s story to create a national movement that could further reconciliation and help to build a better Canada. We truly believe it’s so important for all Canadians to understand the true history of Indigenous people in Canada; including the horrific truths of what happened in the residential school system, and the strength and resilience of Indigenous culture and peoples. It’s incredible to reflect upon the beautiful gifts both Chanie & Gord were able to leave us with. On behalf of both the Downie & Wenjack families -- Chi miigwetch, thank you for joining us on this path. We are stronger together. In Unity, MIKE DOWNIE & HARRIET VISITOR Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund 3 Introduction The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) is part of Gord Downie’s legacy and embodies his commitment, and that of his family, to improving the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada. In collaboration with the Wenjack family, the goal of the Fund is to continue the conversation that began with Chanie Wenjack’s residential school story, and to aid our collective reconciliation journey through a combination of awareness, education and connection. Our Mission Inspired by Chanie’s story and Gord’s call to action to build a better Canada, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) aims to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
