Ian McCulloch (Greg Preston, Survivors<\/em>) is appearing at the Welsh international horror film festival Abertoir<\/a> (@AbertoirFest) being held at Aberystwyth Arts Centre<\/a> in Ceredigion, 11-16 November 2014.<\/p>\n

On Saturday 15 November McCulloch will join director Luigi Cozzi<\/a> for a screening of their 1980 Italian cult sci-fi horror Contamination<\/em> (one of three Italian horror movies McCulloch starred in shortly after finishing work on Survivors<\/em>).<\/p>\n

On Sunday 16 November, special event An Evening with Ian McCulloch<\/a> will see the actor and musician in conversation and performance:<\/p>\n

Acclaimed actor Ian McCulloch will be taking to the stage for a light-hearted evening looking back at his elaborate career in film and television. Best known for his leading role as Greg Preston in the 70s BBC TV series Survivors<\/em>, we of course love him for his iconic appearances in three Italian horror movies: Zombie Flesh Eaters, Zombie Holocaust and Contamination<\/em>. His horror work also includes Hammer House of Horror <\/em>and The Ghoul<\/em>, and other work includes Where Eagles Dare<\/em>, Cromwell<\/em>, The Professionals <\/em>and Doctor Who<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We’re delighted to have lured him here to Aberystwyth where he will also be joining us for a Q&A after a screening of his film Contamination <\/em>on 15th November.<\/p>\n

A wealth of entertaining anecdotes takes us through his acting career that Ian promises will be accompanied by video clips, stories and the imminent threat of his guitar!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
