TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: June 22 2006, 22:19 Well I've bought my tickets already for the Sat night concert on the 16th to see the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra play Orchestral Tubular Bells Part 1 along with a little Brahms and Mozart. I have never been to a concert like this so I am quite excited about it. Will be going with my partner Michael (I am still in shock he said he would go), my son Brett and my Mum Florence so it will be a real family affair. Also hope to meet up with Matthew Sorrell on the night who recently appeared on the tv quiz show The Einstein Factor. Tickets at BASS for $67. We'll be in Row H, seats 3, 4, 5 and 6. Hope to see you there! ARE THERE ANY OTHER SOUTH AUSTRALIANS ON THIS SITE? Also, can't recall the date but Aled Jones is performing in town too. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

Well over on the Amarok Mailing List, several Aussies, even people from other states are organising to get together for the Concert and a Barby or to meet up at the Pub afterwards. It's a great oppprtunity for Australian fans, esp South Aussies to meet up. So any Aussies here, or international fans are of course very welcome, but if I was in England or Europe I would no doubt wait until December to see the real thing. This is great timing, a little taste of Mike for those of us who live on the other side of the world to Germany. Don't forget, if you are interested in coming to the Concert and/or meeting up with other Aussie fans, check out the details on the Amarok Mailing List. Tracy -------------- I hate getting up early.

First_Excursion Group: Members Posts: 279 Joined: Aug. 2012 Posted: April 10 2014, 17:58 It was fantastic. Possibly lost on the ASO season ticket holders who I suspect comprised the majority of the audience; but for the Oldfield die-hards it was very special indeed. Considering it was the closest most of them would get to seeing Mike perform live the enthusiasm was abundant. Whilst I like the OTB album I never really counted it among the cream of the crop but to see it live is something else altogether. Back to top
