In the lead up to the new Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn releases, hergestridge2010.com has been launched. It includes information on the new releases, as well as details of a launch event and a special promotional offer. We expect a similar site for Ommadawn to follow soon. Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: April 01 2010, 11:02 The pizza is inspired by the COVER of Hergest Ridge - what kind of pizza is that then? Green, with spinach, funghi and meat (dog) perhaps - yummy  . -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: April 01 2010, 11:30 Woo, I've just seen the picture of the pizza...it looks tasty - spinach, green olives and anchovies! -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: April 01 2010, 12:10 I think at least one of has to try and make this pizza! I might try lamb instead of bootleg the dog though, lots of sheep grazing in that part of the country. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

tubular_trekkie Group: Members Posts: 366 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: April 01 2010, 12:26 Is the whole thing a joke then? It had me going for a second until I spotted the Pizza promotion! The rest of it seems fairly in-keeping with the style of the TB2009 site though - even down to the god-awful repeated image background!! I quite liked the sound of the model glider flying and being able to sample "the local beers and cheeses"...   Too bad the real promotional folks at Mercury would probably never think of anything so cool in a month of Sundays!!   -------------- "The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - from 'Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib' by the Princess Irulan Back to top

The girl is the one that appears on the home page of the no-more-existing Mikeoldfield.com.

whetstone Group: Members Posts: 8 Joined: May 2009 Posted: April 01 2010, 18:19 This was a good gag well done - but wouldn't a fan meeting on the Ridge on 22 May be a great idea - come on foot or come on horseback! If there was enough of us we could hum a mass choir version of the driving guitar passage on part 2.  Altogether now...nah nah nah, n'nar nar nah NAAAR Back to top
