149. MUSEUMS/GALLERIES: A lighting technician’s dream at London’s Albion Gallery. Walking into the Albion Gallery, part of a new Norman Foster complex, is a little like being in an architect’s model.

155. CABARET: MEET THE QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN'S CABARET. BARB JUNGR.

Diva Barb Jungr is a living legend. She is larger than life on stage. She is witty, captivating, warm and boiling with musical lava and unsurpassed vocal virtuosity.

Jungr's cabaret is happy, vivacious, filled with joy and hope. They compared her to Ute Lemper, Juliette Greco and Edith Piaf.

The musical productions were either super extravaganzas or daringly intimate and sentimental.
