Last year Neil Brand delighted audiences with his live piano accompaniment to Buster

Keaton’s masterpiece The General. This year he’s back with Keaton’s most influential and

daring film Steamboat Bill, Jr. The best way to enjoy any silent film is to experience it as it was

originally intended and Neil brings the last true Buster Keaton film to life with passion and

talent. Prepare to be transported back in time to the wonderful era of classic silent films.
