Freed Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Gurfateh ! Here is a video from the Alpha etc TV programme 'Pardesan Vich Punjabi' it was shown in 2004. It shows a talk at the Wallace Collection given by Nidar Singh Nihang. The Wallace Collection is a proper hidden gem - it houses an unrivalled collection of Arms and Armour. It also has walls lined with Paintings by Old Masters - Titian , Canaletto ,Rubens and Van Dyke - including the very famous 'Laughing Cavalier' by Frans Hals as well as a world class collection of Furniture and porcelain - All this and it's free ! The Wallace Collection is housed in Hertford House in Manchester Square W1 London. Just around the corner from Oxford Street - The nearest Tube station is Bond Street. With the Christmas Shopping Season around the Corner it's well worth popping in - if you're in the area!! The Video gives you a glimpse of the Arms collection - and Nidar Singh does a piece to camera - showing he is human - and doesn't eat small babies for breakfast - as some believe !! - the video also includes an esteemed member of SA !! - I'll let you guess who !! Enjoy !

Enjoy ! Click on the link ; http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...16&hl=en-GB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
