Visit to Germany by Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge 

Both the British Council and Their Royal Highnesses William, The Duke of Cambridge, with his wife Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge, share the same passion about strengthening the intercultural and international links between Britain and the world. During their visit to Germany, Prince William and his wife Catherine learned what makes Berlin such a strong magnet for artists from all around the world - especially for British creative professionals. The couple met and heard from the city's creative minds on 20 July at a cultural evening at Clärchens Ballhaus, a 19th-century Berlin ballroom.    

Highlight of the evening event was a gig by Sam Hall aka DJ Goldierocks. See pictures from the party.

Each week she brings us the brilliance and diversity of British music, promoting the sounds, talents and musical culture of modern Britain to an international audience.

With years of DJ experience and a theatre degree from Goldsmith’s university behind her, Sam is known for her theatrical flair as well as her cutting-edge playlists. She has stage dived, rocked out and propelled herself off various stages around the globe having DJ’d her unique blend of eclectic house, world beats, mash up electro & bass heavy remixes to thousands across five continents. She continues to pave the way for female DJ’s and females in broadcasting- being an avid spokes person for equal rights and at the forefront of groups like Sound Women, as a mentor for the Student Radio Association & National Prison Radio Network. Sam works with Oxfam and the Syrian refugee appeal and is currently writing her first book 'Around the World in 80 raves'. It’s no wonder that the Evening Standard says of her ‘…she could be the most influential woman in pop’.
