Sweep Group: Members Posts: 61 Joined: Sep. 2011 Posted: Aug. 11 2016, 20:35 Thanks - I didn't see this at the time, and didn't know it existed. As Sarah has this clip to post it seems reasonable to think she may have what followed as well. I suppose you could ask her about posting the entire clip by replying on YouTube. She also runs a David Bedford account on Twitter. If you feel at all awkward about asking her (there's no reason why you should), I'd be happy to. She probably doesn't remember me, but she was kind enough to make a comment about my piece Bradnor Hill on YouTube, which I wrote in memory of her father. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

I did consider dropping Sarah a line via YouTube, but it did cross my mind that if she had the complete clip, why she didn't post it in the first place. I was just curious as to Mike's involvement, especially when an electric guitar is sat invitingly on its stand I know that David Porter (Airborne) used to frequent this forum and knowing him like I do, I'd be surprised if he didn't have the answer. However, it seems like he may not visit here very much these days... Cheers Pete -------------- Author "Music from the Darkness - Mike Oldfield 1953-1993" Back to top

Airborne Group: Members Posts: 192 Joined: Sep. 2006 Posted: Sep. 05 2016, 17:06 Yes Peter, I don't visit very much these days and I do have an answer. Sarah Bedford is only interested in promoting her father's work and quite rightly refuses to pander to Mike Oldfield fans for clips of their hero. The material still has a BBC copyright and she only had access being a direct relative and now having copyright over the music performed, but she still had to pay quite a lot for the contributor access copies. I was surprised to see that the Nationwide video had been released in part as initially only stills were posted. Perhaps in the fullness of time the rest of the performance will surface, but not if Sarah is bombarded with requests. I'm also interested in seeing the rest of the show myself but prepared to wait until that treat is unveiled. Back to top

That clears things up nicely, and it's a timely warning. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

Many thanks David... trust your well my friend and appreciate you filling in the gaps I fully understand Sarah's stance, as well as the BBC copyright issues and am happy to wait until it finally gets revealed. Out of idle curiosity, do we know what Mike played/contributed to the rest of the performance? -------------- Author "Music from the Darkness - Mike Oldfield 1953-1993" Back to top

In which case they would most likely perform with Mike the "Rio Grande" piece from that album. The concert recording itself is generally available. Back to top
