273: Lyn's Cinema Memories

Throughout 2025 we have been bringing you shows where people share their memories of picture palaces.  We have a few more of these planned for the year, however for this show in that unofficial series we have something a little different for you. Lyn Williams is a life long film fan, and film music aficionado, who also happened to be, for many years, a cinema manager.  In this podcast Lyn shares with us his love of films, some of his earliest memories in wonderful cinemas now sadly long gone, and some incredible stories of his time managing cinemas. You will be entertained by Lyn’s tales about: - Working late in a haunted cinema - How to stop a fight between rowdy patrons on a cinema stage - How he avoided serious injury when part of a building collapsed - How not to bring a generator into a cinema. - And much, much more!  You may also detect another voice in the background.  That is Lyn’s wife Merril, who gives some lovely pointers to make sure we stay on message.  Indeed, meeting people face to face is something we don’t do that often in these days of computer teams linking.  It was an absolute pleasure to meet them and thank you very much for feeding us.  And as if that is not enough, Lyn, who still goes to the cinema a couple of times a week, gives us his views on some of the 2025 releases. So, if you are a listener in South Wales and you are a regular cinema goer, you well see Lyn At The Flicks. Until next time….
