If you’re visiting Berlin this winter season, a great show to visit is Gayle Tufts’ Let it Show! at the Tipi dinner theatre in the central Tiergarten park. Gayle is an American Berliner, and an entertainer who presents a cockle-warming winter show with new versions of songs by artists like Madonna, Prince, Paul Simon, The Beatles, as well as her own work. The songs are interspersed by banter in her trademark ‘denglish’ language, which foreigners would have difficulty understanding, but the music makes up for that. This is no Christmas show although Wham does slip in at the end; Gayle uses her two hours on stage for a passionate plea to embrace the dark cold days of winter, and make the most of it. On our visit this week, the crowd loved the show and the artist, her backing vocalists and rocking band all visibly enjoyed performing.

Gayle Tufts performs Let it Show until 25 December, and from 2-15 January. For tickets and information see www.tipi-am-kanzleramt.de.

The result was made available to the public at large today: maps.inyourpocket.com

Every city we cover (and the list is growing all the time) is now available as a map-led guide, with seamless links to our main website inyourpocket.com (which, recently named by the Guardian as one of the world’s best 50 travel websites, has been upgraded and given a bit of a facelift to incorporate the maps) and back again.

To all intents and purposes you can now choose how you want your In Your Pocket online city guide: text-led or map-led.

We hope you like it.

The problem arose from this article published in the latest issue of Poznan In Your Pocket, which appeared under the headline Local Heroes instead of Local Heroes & Villains.

Here is the (offending) article:

Local Heroes & Villains

Now, call us biased, but we think that even if the headline was Local Heroes there is no suggestion of us liking Nazis.

No, what happened was a mistake. An error. When taking a title from one place and transferring it to another, part was lost. It happens. That really ought to be the end of it.

Besides, do we really need to point to the other features we have written about Poznan over the years?

For those who fell
The Great Escape
World War II Poznan

Or what about our extensive report on the role of Poles in cracking the Enigma code?

We leave readers to make up their own minds as to whether we have Nazi sympathies or not.

In Your Pocket’s iPhone apps have been exclusively developed by Meta4Labs, a Geneva-based start-up specialising in bespoke apps for publishers.

Our apps preserve the best features of In Your Pocket city guides, from reliability and accuracy of information to our witty writing style, while incorporating the latest technology offered by the iPhone.

In Your Pocket apps include thorough hotel, restaurant, bar, club, transport and directory listings, as well as video and location data. They are all fully searchable.

We think they are the best travel apps available on the market right now. Buy one now and see, or take advantage of our introductory offer: you can download the Berlin app for free for a limited time.

We’re certain that once you see ’s-Hertogenbosch you’ll understand why we selected this little jewel, that the Dutch visit in droves and that foreigners are only now discovering.

We have our usual full guide to the city – updated every three months – which you can pick up locally in Den Bosch, or download for free here.

We have video over at our You Tube channel, including a tour of the city’s canals: the canal tour Dutch people (who would not be seen dead on Amsterdam’s canals) take.

We have a chapter devoted to Coffeeshops, as well as a rundown of the dos and don’ts when it comes to high times in Den Bosch.

There is a word form the mayor, a bit about the city’s most famous son, and everything else you have come to expect from Europe’s leading publisher of locally produced city guides.

No wonder they call us essential.
