It could take me a few months to plough through every forum, but try I will. I am 44 hailing from Rotherham S.Yorks, but living in Amersham Bucks since 1990. My first awareness of Mike Oldfield came in a junior school assembly. Our new headmaster played a snippet from Ommadawn pt one and told us a little about Mike,Tubular Bells and this beautiful newbie Ommadawn. It started with the glorious recorder/fanfare at 6 minutes in. I was hooked. Christmas 1976 Ommadawn and Tubular Bells duly arrived. I have to confess that I did also love Agnetha of Abba and shortly afterwards Kate Bush, but for pure musical joy...Mike. No one at school my age gave tuppence Ha'penny for instrumental music so I had Mike all to myself. Years go by and I also love Tangerine Dream,Bjork,Yes,Renaissance,Goldfrapp,and many others but it is Mike Oldfield 1972-1983 that is my great love.THere are of course many gems that followed this era.
I have worked as a Nurse for 25 years in total, stress a plenty,It is very fortunate to have Argieres Wonderful Land Ommadawn etc . Best wishes to everyone who contributes or simply enjoys this website. Chris.
