Don Cohn, one of the founding members of the Textile Society of Hong Kong, first moved to Hong Kong over 25 years ago, though he now spends most of his time in New York city. Living and working here allowed him to indulge his passion for collecting rare, antique and beautiful embroidery and folk art during his various travels and adventures. He is well known as a Chinese scholar, collector, tour guide, journalist and expert in all things Chinese. With his knowledge and love of Chinese culture, Don was one of the pioneers in the field of bringing Chinese textiles to the attention of the wider world. From the early 1990s, he has led specialist tours to China to study rare textiles in the backrooms of the museums and to meet important scholars in the field. Please drop in to see his eclectic and fascinating collection, and to ask him about things Chinese. This truly is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to purchase some beautiful pieces to treasure."
Sat, Dec 10, 9pm, Island Bar: "Greetings, one and all! Consider yourselves invited down to ye olde Island Bar, this Saturday, for an evening of musical entertainment courtesy of Garoupa and Transnoodle, the freshest, tastiest new addition to Lamma's musical smorgasbord. Things kick off at around 9, so get there early, and remember -- the more you drink, the better we'll sound. See you there."
We're playing all original music, penned by the good
Mr Saeki, and I guess it can best be described as Lamma-inspired Ska
with Latin roots. This will be our debut gig, and there are no
pics as yet, but hopefully we'll get some good action shots on the night.
Transnoodle will be playing first, knocking out about half a dozen tunes,
followed by Garoupa. Pretty scant info, I know, but the best I can do at the moment. Come along and check it out. Thanks for your superb promotional tomfoolery".
