Meanwhile back in 2016 – I’m not sure if we can get Ip Wischin ( Lovely genius that he is ) back to Cardiff – but we live in hope !
We are promoting a weekend in celebration of Silent Film Comedy – Charlie Chaplin , Buster Keaton , Laurel and Hardy , Harold Lloyd and more – on offer is a weekend workshop run by my dear friend and excellent teacher Mr Ip Wischin from Vienna – this will be his third visit to Cardiff.
and on Saturday 18th June 2016 @7.30pm there will be an evening of Films with live piano accompaniment by Mr Andrew Wilson-Dickson
Please can you pass this information on to your contacts – I have no time or money for any fancy advertising – social media is supposedly the best way of reaching out to people . I’m not so sure ,as people seem to be overloaded with cyber information. Any way if you can help out ? Many thanks.
