The Hunchback of Notre Dame with David Briggs

On Friday 25th March 2011, Gillingham Methodist Church is offering a special cinema experience with a twist. We are showing the 1923 classic silent film version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, starring Lon Chaney, together with live, improvised organ accompaniment from international organ recitalist David Briggs.

Formerly organ scholar of King's College, Cambridge & Organist of Gloucester Cathedral, David Briggs holds a reputation as one of the most fluent and expert improvisers in the world.

This is cinema as it used to be with a musician trying to capture the mood as the silent movie's images flash across the silver screen. This will be a very special event as GMC transforms itself into the world of silent film and, accompanied by our Sweetland organ, will provide an exhilarating evening's entertainment.

Tickets: £12 in advance, £15 on the door. Closer to the time they will be available from the Church and local outlets but initially they may be obtained directly from me on 07817 379006 or online at www.wegottickets.com/event/104896.

Please support this unique event in North Dorset and bring as many friends and family as you can! I strongly recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance - last year's performance of 'Phantom of the Opera' was very popular and demand is again sure to be high. This is one not to be missed!
