Just seen this

Also a link from Sir Richard's Twitter account to a scan of the instrument hire list, with a promise of more about the visit.

That was a really nice article in the Bahamas Weekly. Very well spotted!

Thanks for posting.  :)

really heart warming to read this...I'm just indescribably happy for Mike...after all these years and all he went through to bring Tubular Bells out into the world...deeply personal stuff from very dark times...and to see all the joy, the inspiration and the happiness he has made possible....for so many people...and to sense a real place in the future too....with all the youngsters interested...(Tom Newman's project too in Ireland)...taking the music forward.... Just wonderful.

:) Makes me even prouder to be a fan (if that were ever possible!;)

happy times, sunshine always follows the rain

Very kind, Brad, although while I was acting on a Bahamian tweet, I saw one from Caroline Monk a few hours later from a few hours before I posted - I imagine that a forensic analysis of Facebook timelines will show others were in well before I was!

And very true, bee - always nice to see the moments that put a smile on his face!
