Actually both Aidan and Dan are very successful musicians in their own respective rights. Dan's music recently featured in a movie presented at the Sydney film festival and then on TV. You should check out their other work!
TB42 is proving so popular, they are playing 80 shows over 4 months with audiences around 500 per show (sometimes less, sometimes much more - like 900 in London last month). Do the maths! That's nearly a million pounds in tickets! They are back at Edinburgh with the same show for a second year by popular demand. By all reports, the audience is not just the Oldfieldian afficionados but also family members and friends, sometimes being dragged along, and discovering some great music by great musicians.
Not bad for an idea that evolved over a bottle of wine, in front of the fire, with the aid of an old tin box.
