LORD SYDNEY LING, THE IBIZA WONDERBOY OF THE BOHEMIAN DAYS.

That Ibiza has a strange magnetism for creative talents is a fascinating reality. It's no secret that Ibiza boasts the greatest concentration of international talent on a tiny island. They have found inspiration and fulfilment from the simple, spiritually enriching, Ibicenco way of life. 'Tranquilo', the most popular Ibicenco word, means 'Finding Inner Peace in Harmony with Nature'

Sydney, the young gypsy- flamenco performer playing one of his incredible fast gypsy rhumbas,


as if you were listening to seven instruments in the same time. The gypsies came to him for extra


flamenco and rumba lessons.



He spoke in a combination of 13 languages at eight years old and had the greatest contacts in the world. The elite and the Ibiza bohemians and artists of those days always took him serious in everything he said and did, they always followed his advice. Child prodigy Sydney was an amazing boy with a great sense of humor who cured them physically and mentally with his amazing natural light-energy, helped them, introduced them to eachother and fixed the unfixable for them in business and private. A young boy with a character but, who understood life very quickly and knew where he was going, the world had never seen a child like this before! He was the youngest private consultant, communication PR wizard and artist on our planet. Ibiza itself as a center of the world was Sydney's best school in life and during the 1960's he also became the representative of the so called "School of Ibiza" the artgroup representing quite a few international and Ibizan artists and painters. From youngest pioneer communicator, mock-bullfighter and flamenco performer to painter, to youngest showproducer, the youngest filmproducer, director and writer in the world. The Ibiza papers , Diario de Ibiza and La Prensa published many articles, pages and stories over the years on Sydney and his amazing activities and adventures during the old Ibiza days. (Also see item The golden Ibiza days) Sydney was also the youngest personal and confidential adviser to quite a few personalities of the 1960s and 1970s and one phonecall from this boy could change people's life or careers inseconds. He was known for having some of the best quality contacts in the world as a young boy and at many levels of society. It was also on Ibiza where he build up his first international communication and solution base in consulting and guiding leading indiviuals, families and companies. Sydney has amazed many people over the years (Also see other publications or the Guinness books of records over the years for other records) he started his amazing multiple activities and careers on magic Ibiza during the golden epoque of the sixties and became the mascot of the elite, artists and bohemians not only on the white island but, all over the world. He was able to interact with nature and people in the most natural way. Sydney' said' I am glad that I didnt waste to much of my time by going to school or all these international schools. I did a few and went to the best ones but, there was nothing they could teach me I didnt know yet. Life itself and specially Ibiza was my best school in life, life itself. I did realize that I was a bit different compared to other children or a bit much.. I also know that I was born with several unusual talents but, it was the natural Ibiza magic that gave it the extra pusg I guess, it worked for me, the rest is history.
