IRVING SHULMAN AND LORD SYDNEY LING.


















Ibiza knew many special foreigners and cosmopolitans, even in the very early days. You had the elite, the entrepreneurs, the businessmen, the stars (incognito) and international personalities who all came from time to time, or had their second homes on Ibiza. This already started way before the hippy epoque. Quite a few pioneers, artists, writers, painters and bohemians were already in town in the fifties. The 1960s were the real top-days, followed by the 1970s.

The young Sydney (in the old days) was also the youngest confidential consultant and communicator to quite a few Hollywood studio heads and other personalites of that epoque. The Stein lunches of Irving, Sydney, David and Jules were not always limited to El Olivo, San Telmo, Alfredo"s on Ibiza but, would also take them to quite a few Parisian bistros.
