' classic times. dassic times. he ' classic times. he was in the four classic times. he was the slow—moving area of low pressure. it will not ship very quickly over the next few days. already brought —— head to the course of the night, heavy downpours, showers across southern counties of income. quickly heavy and persistent for the south—west of england and later tonight into south—east wales. some localised flooding possible here. looking at double figures, not as cold as it was last night across the north of scotland. through monday we have got more cloud across england and wales, some scattered showers and the odd thunderstorm first thing in the morning. later in the day, some sunshine breaking through in the south. as temperatures rise we are set to see scattered showers and further thunderstorms. will be hit and miss, we won't all see them, but further north many posts having a fine and dry day, temperatures up to 22 degrees on the one response and they will continue to rise in the north as we had to the next couple of days. —— the warm response. if you're planning on watching

wimbledon, they may be affected by some rain at times, especially on monday and tuesday. monday evening and overnight will continue to see heavy downpours and thunderstorms. could be localised flooding, with some heavy showers for southern england. elsewhere looking largely dry. tuesday, fairly cloudy, critically for the southern half of england and wales. lots more sunshine in the north. it will feel warm for northern ireland and scotland, temperatures up to 25 degrees. because there where you have heavy showers, 18 degrees there in london where it stays unsettled. eventually we will start to lose the area of low pressure, drifting off towards the east. probably by thursday, higher pressure as we enter a working week right across the uk. the outlook then for the next five days, we are going to see some fairly heavy showers at times, but from round wednesday looks drier for many areas, perhaps a more showers by the weekend. goodbye.

hello, and welcome to the show. now, if you're still dreaming of packing a suitcase and heading off on your travels, although you probably can't do thatjust yet, stay with us for the next half—hour and hopefully we'll give you some inspiration as we take a look back at some of our favourite films and destinations here on the show from the past few years. and this week, our choice definitely has a musical note, as the team attempts to play a tune or two.

let's kick things off with a trip rajan made to the deep south of america in 2016. now, he was there to learn about a style of music called zydeco, but little did he know that he'd end up performing in front of thousands before the day was over. so, let's take a look at how he got on. that is new orleans, exactly how i imagined it. a brass band going down the street a the whole crowd following and getting into the vibe. fantastic. now, the city might be best known for jazz, but you can also find a type of music here that i've never encountered before.

chubby carrier is a grammy award winner and a third—generation of legendary zydeco—playing family. the music, zydeco. tell me about it. zydeco, a lot of people get mixed up with cajun music, but if you hear zydeco, you hear more of blues, r&b, soul and rock �*n�* roll, mixed into one. this, he says, is the expression of louisiana's black creole community. that's a bit of african, a bit of french and some caribbean all mixed up. and apart from the accordion, chubby says the essential instrument in the zydeco sound is the one that evolved from his grandmother's washboard. this was my grandmother's washing machine! a washing machine? this was a washing machine back in the day. and you hear the rhythms? the buttons on your shirt would make a sound like that, and my grandmother was washing clothes at the time, and thought, hey, that sounds good!

it might fit with the accordion. bring it over here. she said, you must be out of your mind. this is how i do my laundry. you should try it, man, yeah. yes, yes, yes. it's our percussion in zydeco. you have the rhythm going like this, man, that's it! that's it! yeah? when you hit the board, you lose it. why? i don't know. laughter. the streets are packed and there is a jubilant atmosphere here. i feel lucky to have a ringside view. because when we point that camera to ya, i want you to shaking your booty like your mama gave it to you. cheering. we're going to bring this

to monday and let �*em now how we do it in new orleans! yeah! and then, after my frankly disastrous ten—minute lesson, this happened. bbc travel here. well, i've got to say, rajan didn't do a bad job there,

or perhaps the crowd werejust being kind. laughter. next, we're off to denmark, a country famous for its annual roskilde music festival, where over 100 bands usually take to the stage every year. now, unfortunately, the festival has been cancelled this year due to the pandemic. but to keep you going, why not submerge yourself in this film from denmark with christa, filmed back in 2018. just a word of warning: please don't try this one at a home, without a snorkel! this is the group between music. their latest show is the first in a 4—part series called aquasonic, which aims to explore who we are human beings. and it begins with our time in the womb. we are so often divided between you and me, them and us, different

religions, different cultures. but here is something that i think we can all get to know something about. we have ourfirst nine months, covered by this water filter. so i think somehow the audience — they are there, at least on an unconscious level. they will have a flashback to hearing those sounds. so, as performers, how does it feel when you are underwater, performing to an audience? it gets really, somehow... someone says a loneliness to it. that there is not only a visual loneliness to see humans in the tanks but also the sound has a loneliness to it. 0h?

so, here goes, one deep breath and... well, actually this is quite nice. amazing. you are doing good. it's warm. this is great. so, if you take this microphone... and then you hit this bell plate. this one here? yeah. and then you take the microphone... 0h! can you hear the effect? then you can sort of play with it. i'm beginning to think i'm a bit of a natural! and then maybe you should put that in the front window. and then you can sort of — if you hit it with the hammer, and then you can, like, close the sound with your hand. another thing, if you take the — there's a small stick. yeah.

exactly. and you can use that for the ring over there. 0h, 0k. that is so cool! you're making music! woo hoo! applause. it's amazing. you have these hammers that you hit and you feel it resonate through the whole tank and you feel it in your chest and your whole body. it's amazing. it's a totally different experience than just banging a bell with a hammer. yep! christa there, getting her a avant—garde groove on back in 2018.

well, stay with us, because we've plenty more still to come here on the travel show. i'm m ixin 9 ! including the time ade raised london's ministry of sound nightclub. and rajan�*s knees took a battering at one of the most bizarre festivals we've ever seen. well, nightlife around the world have taken a massive hit during the pandemic. in many places, nightclubs were almost the first to be forced to shut down and look like they'll be among the last to finally reopen again. now, if you're missing your clubbing fix, take a look at this. a film from back in 2017 when ade got the chance to learn how to master the decks at one of the most famous clubs in the world. ministry of sound is reaching 25 years. i can't believe it because i came here in the early days. this place first started off as a small club in a derelict garage, and has now become

a massive global brand. at one stage it owned the biggest independent record label in the world, selling over 70 million records. ministry of sound was london's first—ever super club, and has survived a number of attempts to shut it down. justin berkmann is one of the founders. he is also one of its resident djs, so i am in good hands for this dj lesson. you have your volume controls here, your high, mid and low, so this is the big bass knob. sibilance, strip it out, bring that down. with the technology today, it gives you much more flexibility to take risks and do things that you couldn't do in the old days with vinyl. so could you put a classic opera track with some hip—hop? yes. beethoven wrote most of his music at 120 bpm,

so he was one of the first house dj. beethoven knew what he was talking about, he dropped beats. he did, a lot of his stuff was dance music. all right, let's do this then. one, two, three, four. bingo. i'm m ixin 9 ! now time to see if all that training has worked. it's the moment of truth. i tell you what i will say, it is very loud in here. dance music plays. i am in the dj box with gavin mitchell, the resident dj and promoter for the gallery, which takes place every friday at the club. fortunately, it is still early, so the pressure is off a bit and i am getting the hang of things.

by the end of the night i have the house rocking! i think all clubs have their nemesis moment where there comes something along that wants to close us. it is usually residents, and it is the balance between city and the fact that it needs some form of entertainment. you can't have one without the other, because a city full of bedrooms is no fun, so you have to have nightclubs, have to have restaurants, you have to have bars and entertainment. ade at the ministry of sound back in 2017. time now for something a little more sedate. back in 2018, carmen headed to taiwan to explore a gigantic new art centre about to reopen, claiming to be the biggest in the world. and in amongst the massive performance and exhibition spaces, she got to fulfil one of my childhood dreams,

playing one of those huge dramatic pipe organs. yeah, i'm pretty jealous of that one. this is the weiwuying, taiwan's new national art centre. the centre has been built to become a fixture of the international performance circuit. this might look like a big empty warehouse, but we are actually backstage at one of the more intimate auditoriums here, that can seat around 1,200 people. the centre will stage its own performances, and host international touring productions. the weiwuying has four main stages, an opera house, a concert hall, a playhouse and a recital hall.

this splendid venue can seat over 2,000 people. after rehearsal, organist tony kindly offered to show me the pride of the concert hall. tony, that was amazing. thank you so much. what does it feel like to play such a magnificent instrument? it is very exciting because i can make any kind of music in here. and... the high pitch here. 0h! like birds. and the very low, we do have the very low pipes. you can hear it all vibrating. how many keyboards are there here,

there are five keyboards, 127 buttons, not to mention all these cords down the bottom. i do have to spend a lot of time to practise. this one is brand—new organ, and i believe it is the biggest one in entire asia's concert hall. wow, the biggest pipe organ in asia. what a privilege to play it. do you want to play it? i haven't played in 20 years. plays heart and soul

thank you, tony! you are such a good sport, to humour me. carmen roberts accepting bookings to play to packed concert halls all around the world as soon as travel kicks back in. well, maybe after a bit more practice. to finish off this week we are off to germany, where, back in 2016, rajan headed to bavaria to learn how to play one of the strangest musical instruments i have ever seen. if you are thinking about taking this one up, i would highly recommend some earplugs and kneepads. you will see what i mean. the festival takes place in the town of rinchnach, and celebrates the ancient custom of herdsmen ringing bells to scare wolves away. hello! hans is one of the organisers.

these other famous bells have heard about. tonight, hundreds of local people will form teams of bellringers, and i am joining in too, a rare privilege for a non—bavarian. first, i need the right outfit. and what is the point of these twigs? i look like a christmas tree. the headgear pales into insignificance once i realise i will be lugging this 20kg bell around. so heavy, it's ridiculous!

ok, so i am taking this bell over here and i think this will be the bavarian people doing it as well. did you hear me coming by any chance? so you two are also taking part this year? fantastic. how big a night is this for you? i think it is the biggest night of the year, something like this. nowhere else is something like this, and so yeah, we're very proud of it, and we also want to take part. have you ever thought about wearing earplugs? oh yes, i have them! you have them! you have to. it is impossible without them. i will bear that in mind,

that is really good advice. i join the rest of the team as we head towards the town centre. nothing could have prepared me for the incredible din that is generated, heaving these enormous bells around. i am trying not to use my knees but it is almost impossible. they feel battered and bruised already. we are greeted by a huge crowd of tourists and locals. hans' son dominik is the flamboyant leader, rousing the troops, leading the beat...

and conducting the cacophony. luckily for me, after half an hour, dominik calls time for a much needed break. wow! that was one of the most physically intensive things i have ever done. amazing. tribal, but great. and i deserve this.

rajan in 2016, and those bells looks just crazy — i'm sure there is some new form of exercise routine just waiting to be invented, because it looks like a total workout carrying those bells strapped to your waist, let alone playing them. that's it for this week, but do join us next week if you can, when it's my turn behind the wheel of our travel show van for the next stage in our road recovery trip across the uk. i will be in wales, exploring cardiff and beyond, and finding out how this very rodent is helping the fight against climate change. that's next week, but don't forget to check us out on social media for a whole host of inspirational ideas of things to see and do when we can travel again, which hopefully won't be too far away. till next time though, from me, lucy hedges, and everyone else here on the show, it's goodbye.

good evening. sunday brought us a day of mixed weather types across the uk. for many areas, blue sky and sunshine. this was the glorious picture a little bit earlier on whitley bay. certainly much warmer and brighter than it was there yesterday. but look at this — cornwall, a lot of rain, a lot of cloud, and we are going to continue seeing that north—south split to the weather over the next few days. dry with sunny spells for many northern parts of the uk, whereas further south, closer to an area of low pressure, showers or thunderstorms in the forecast at times. so here is that slow—moving area of low pressure. it's not going to shift very quickly over the next few days. it has already brought some heavy, showery rain to parts of south west england, and as we head through the course of the night, heavy downpours,

showers and some thunderstorms across many southern counties of england, but particularly heavy and persistent for the south—west of england, and later tonight into south—east wales as well. so some localised flooding possible here. looking at double figures, not as cold as it was last night across the north of scotland. so, through monday, then, we have got more cloud across england and wales. some scattered showers, the odd thunderstorm first thing in the morning, i think. later in the day, some sunshine breaking through in the south, but as temperatures rise, we are set to see some scattered showers and further thunderstorms. they will be hit and miss, we will not all see them, but further north, many places having another fine and dry day, temperatures of 21 or 22 in the warmest spots. and that continues to rise in the north as we head through the next couple of days. but if you are planning on watching the action in the championships at wimbledon, they may well be affected by a bit of rain at times, especially on monday and tuesday. so in the evening and overnight, we will continue to see heavy downpours and thunderstorms, there could be some localised flooding with some of these really heavy showers for southern england in particular.

but elsewhere is looking largely dry. into tuesday, another fairly cloudy day, particularly for the southern half of england and wales. lots more sunshine in the north, light winds, sunshine, and it really will feel quite warm for northern ireland and scotland. temperatures 2a or 25. cooler where you have got those heavy showers, about 18 celsius there in london, where it stays unsettled. eventually we will start to lose that area of low pressure, drifting off towards the east probably by around thursday, higher pressure as we enter the working week right across the uk. so, the outlook for the next five days, we are going to see some fairly heavy showers at times, but from around wednesday, it looks drier from many areas, perhaps some more showers, though, by the weekend. bye— bye.
