Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 15 2002, 19:52 During a BBC Radio 2 interview, Mike said he already has an agreement with the person who will be the Master of Ceremonies for the re-recording of Tubular Bells and that it's not Tony Benn, Rowan Atkinson, Cilla Black, or Richard Madeley. On Aug 22, it has been confirmed during a TV interview that John Cleese will be the next MC. (Source: Amarok Mailing List) Back to top

Se2ra Unregistered Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 18:25 Can somebody explain me WHAT is a Master of Ceremonies? Is he the conductor of the performance? I have no idea Thanks! Back to top

Tubular Cobra Group: Members Posts: 43 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 18:29 The Master Of Ceremonies Is: -Heard in Tubular Bells 1, and 2(i dont know about 3).- Its When The Master of Ceremonies Say a name of an Instrument and Mike Plays it. Such As When he Says "Plus, Tubular Bells" And Mike Plays Tubular Bells. After The Master Of Ceremonies Part it will be the Girlie Chorus Singing and then Mike Plays a Guitar and That Ends Tubular Bells Part 1! -- I Think Tom Baker Might Do it. I Dont Think He Will Or Not!-- -------------- ooo! Look at my Pretty Black Stripes! :D and btw - Mike Oldfield Ownz You!(Well Not Really) Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 20:33 ...so,what´s the main reason that you´ve got a poll about this subject @ Dark Star,since Mike´s getting in touch with some people who he´s looking to be the MC? Fact file: According to the poll,Mike is #1 to be the MC for TB 2003...I want him as MC too! -------------- "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

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 20:59 If I had a say in things, my advice would be not to pick someone well known, but someone who's really right for the job. Patrick Moore's a good idea, though -  trust me Back to top

James Group: Members Posts: 39 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Aug. 17 2002, 21:53 Actually I would like to hear Mike do the mc thing himself.Afterall he will be doing virtually everything else himself!If not I stand by my choice of Patrick Moore.I appreciate some people from distant shores may not know Patrick.His vocal qualities and the fact that he is an intelligent and traditional English Gentleman he will compliment the bells no problem.

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Aug. 18 2002, 03:41 Yeah, Captain Picard is Patrick Stewart. He does have an amazing voice, and he's my choice.  Mike himself would also be a good idea (he is leading the poll by quite a way) -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

Fox Group: Members Posts: 156 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Aug. 18 2002, 09:54 For something like this, Stewart would be great.  I'd be happy to hear him doing that. And who says the MC has to be a man? Forgive my ignorance, but is Margret Thatcher still alive?  Mike got an impersonater on Amarok...wonder if she herself would like to be MC  haha. Back to top
