Mike ("clean-shaven"! ) took part in the 'Whale Festival' organised by Friends of the Earth, apparently Sunday 25 June 1978 ("last Sunday" according to the article). Link: Record Mirror archive page Interesting that he played (only?) D. Bedford compositions, accompanied by a choir. Presumably this was post-Exegesis and pre-Incantations. Anyone else have any more info? Thanks. -------------- "...inside, and the positions are reversed..." Back to top

I suppose at this point he had only actually played Tubular Bells (of his own compositions) live in concert, so no surprise I suppose that he only played David Bedford stuff. I would guess it was something from The Odyssey, given the fact he took part in the big concert of that a couple of years before, and it has a choir. Pre- or post- exegesis? Hm. Someone with a better knowledge than me of the timeline might know. I'm guessing post- due to the haircut. Are you on the Mike Oldfield fans facebook group (or one of them anyway)? Do you mind if I share this on there? Also maybe with the David Bedford page on Facebook. Back to top
