The film I Swear is a British drama based on the true story of John Davidson, a Scottish teenager who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 15 at a time when it was little known and misunderstood (It is thought that Mozart also had the condition).

The film follows John’s journey from being misunderstood in 1980s Scotland to becoming a passionate advocate for the condition as an adult. It explores how he navigates challenges, stigma, and misunderstanding, and finds his purpose in raising awareness and acceptance.

Featuring outstanding performances from Robert Aramayo, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson and Maxine Peake, I SWEAR is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community.

**Warning: Contains extreme profanity as part of the story of Tourette Syndrome.

Friday DECEMBER 12th 7.45PM

This used Ibach upright piano from before 1900 comes in good working condition and includes a piano stool. With keys in original ebony and ivory, 2 brass pedals, and a vintage dark oak finish, this German-made instrument shows quality craftsmanship. 

It was reconditioned in 1995 and has been regularly tuned and kept in good repair over the last 30 years. One key – top G – has been unable to be repaired but all others work with no sticking or delay. There are some minor scratches on the wooden casing.

The piano stool is also dark oak, with an upholstered hinged lid and storage for sheet music.

Sadly looking for a new home now the piano players in the family have moved away. Free to a good home and we will help with moving it locally.
