Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Aug. 23 2003, 14:47 There is also a singer from (South?) Africa called Wendy Oldfield. Definitely no relation, though. Plus, (maybe this is the right place to tell this curiosity at last ) in my school there were two English teachers called Mr Oldfield and Mr Bedford. Note that this was in Germany! A really strange coincidence if you ask me. Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 24 2003, 07:20 Yeah, that's funny and weird at the same time Holger! There is also a programmer working at Sierra (game software company) called Doug Oldfield. I remember playing all these games like Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry and Quest for Glory, seeing this name flying by. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 25 2003, 03:43 I think there are plenty of Oldfields around the world, and maybe there also are plenty of Michael Oldfields. Back in 1992, when I had just started getting into Mike's music, I met a guy called Michael Oldfield during an English course I attended in Toronto. I don't know where he ended up, but as he was the same age as me (22) I don't think that he went back to England to compose and record wonderful music. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Aug. 26 2003, 13:39 You've got to remember that although Oldfield isn't a particularly common name it's also not hugely uncommon either, a quick look in my local phone book revealed about 6 or 7 Oldfields in this small part of Scotland alone. That coupled with the fact that Micheal is a hugely common name would suggest that the name Mike Oldfied is not by any means a rarity. Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Aug. 26 2003, 14:44 Well,if you see Mike´s parents full name,you can conclude that his name is Michael Gordon,and Oldfield as last name! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Oldfield... and there is another composer  called Gareth Oldfield, as far as I remember...! -------------- 'Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around' 'Send me your dream, one more to believe in Send me a dream, realities lost and unseeen.....'

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Sep. 08 2003, 08:31 Yes, Terry Oldfield is Mike's brother, a rather well-known New Age composer. F. Oldfield is Mike's wife Fanny. I haven't heard of Gareth Oldfield. Back to top

Tieò_mesaèného_svitu Group: Members Posts: 88 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 08 2003, 15:56 And there is also a writer called Elizabeth Oldfield. Few months ago I borrowed her novel "Perfect Hero". It turned out to be a sentimental, painful love story. Although I hadn't read it, I brought it back to the library. Unfortunatelly, not all Oldfields are talented... Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 08 2003, 16:28 I guess Mike will have quite an extended family of his own. I don't know if his sister Sally has any kids but I know that Terry does I think have have about 3 children all round about the same age as Mike's oldest lot. So there will be quite a cluster of Oldfields of the musical variety. Back to top

Gilliana Group: Members Posts: 75 Joined: Aug. 2003 Posted: Sep. 09 2003, 09:06 What does New Age composer means? I mean, what genre? Sorry, my english is not perfect Ps.: If we talk about Mike's family... Noah's mom is also Anita Hegerland? -------------- 'Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around' 'Send me your dream, one more to believe in Send me a dream, realities lost and unseeen.....'

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: Sep. 10 2003, 09:46 Actually, New Age is a genre name... I'm not an expert on it myself, but I'd say it's generally meant to be relaxing, meditative music and mostly utilizes a lot of synthesizers, although Terry also plays flute and panpipes. Things like whale song and chirping birds are often incorporated... that kind of stuff. Mike himself sometimes gets put into that category, though he's expressed his disapproval of that (and I agree with him, although he does come close to this style with albums like The Songs Of Distant Earth, Voyager, Tres Lunas, and parts of The Millennium Bell).
