Hi Everyone, I found out that yesterday (3rd October) Mr. Lee was at the Oxford Union to give a talk/Q & A....He even sang 'Man of La Mancha' (Mr. Lee sounds wonderful!)You can hear him on a video clip on YouTube (link below)...

Without a doubt... Sr.Lee were heard, they had a wonderful time.

And us, Helen, we only dreamed..... do you agree?

Hello everyone,

Many thanks for posting up the information and the links to this, Helen. It looks like a really wonderful occasion, and I am sure that those who were fortunate enough to be in attendance would have had a brilliant time there. Mr Lee and his voice were in fine form, as always. Great to hear him singing "(I am) I Don Quijote". Thanks again. Take care:

Warmest regards,

Andrés

Thanks for the links Helen; brilliant that you can tell us what's happening in our own Country all the way from Colorado. If anyone's a member of 'Live Journal' it might be nice if a message was posted on our hard-working student's blog to let her know that her clip's a hit on the Christoper Lee website. Or maybe she is already a member of this site, in which case 'well done' and thanks for sharing the experience.

Amazing how far we have come.....From 'Around the World in 80 days' to Around the world in nanoseconds! What is the quote from the film 'Dune'?...."Traveling without Moving".....

Though I have to say, I prefer 'visiting' England (and other places)!

I appreciate all of your 'Thank You's' though they are not required....Just my small way of contributing to this wonderful Website.....

Mr. Lee did sound wonderful; the acoustics of the Oxford Union were great! I would love to hear Mr. Lee perform in an 'acoustically perfect' 'Grand' Theatre...

Take care everyone.

Cheers,;)

Here's a very nice article/blog on Mr. Lee's appearance at Oxford :)

Asgeir, Thank You So Much for posting the link....Wonderful article; it will be nice if they do indeed post some pictures in the near future...

Cheers,;)

That is a very good article to read.
I am happy when I read comments of Mr. Lee and of like him goes to the work friends. It is pleasant to know that he conserves friendship with Mr. Moore. And I say without doubts that I began to observe more Johnny Depp because of Mr. Lee's words.

Hello everyone,

Many thanks, Asgeir, for posting the link to that article. A thoughtful and well written piece which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Like Helen, I too hope that the photographs will follow in the not too distant future. It was clearly a great event, and I would have loved to have been there. Thanks once again. Take care:

Warmest regards,

Andrés

That certainly looks like a great day. I would have expected, however, an announcement on this site prior to the event or did I miss it ?

Matt, You didn't 'miss' any announcements; However, I don't know if it would have 'helped'(or been warranted) . Mr. Lee's presence at the Oxford University was part of the 'Fresher's Fayre' where University Clubs provide information and 'membership' application for the students.

From what I have 'learned' (briefly), The Oxford Union is/was a 'debate' society and now has quite a few 'lectures' and special guests.

So in this case (not personally having any experience with 'Oxford'); I don't know if Mr. Lee's 'visit' would have been 'open' to the general public....

Regardless, it was a wonderful opportunity for the students at Oxford....

Cheers,;)

Helen
I doubt very much if it would have been open to the public. I simply thought that it was an interesting piece of news which would certainly have warranted a mention on the official site prior to the event.
