I can see it in Alex's website, but I don't speak German... http://www.oldfield.de/index.php Thank you -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Sep. 19 2007, 06:30 I don't speak German either but translating the text using Babelfish suggests he was there in good spirits and answering some (not very good?) questions. Anyone with some German language skills or who was there themselves care to elaborate? -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

In Alex's website, there are also links at the bottom of the article that lead toward french and english translations. Anyway, my level in german doesn't allow me to understand more than 70% of the text, but the only very interesting question I found is the one about his next project an the answer is (approx.) "why not another classic album, if people are pleased with this one - now I know how it has to be done" It's also told that Mike's presence (5 minutes) was a surprise and that he left with a little boy -probably his son- and maybe his wife. -------------- Mike Oldfield - Blog d'une passion http://www.mike-oldfield.net Back to top

alexander.schweigert Group: Members Posts: 80 Joined: Jan. 2000 Posted: Sep. 19 2007, 14:57 I  telephoned with the man who interviewed mike on the stage. Mike was very happy and he loughes when there was a question beginning with "why". The audience knows that you shoud never ask him a question beginning with "why". oldfield was very funny and makes a "event" because of the many questions with "why" on the beginning. all were lucky and the interview was good. The Interwiewer told me that ALL of the Audience knows his Mistake and Oldfield were very professional and funny about it. He was in a funny condition and made a very good job ;-) after the interview mike was going away. it was a nice interview and all was ok. Regards Alex P.S.: I didnt get more informations but a pic.

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Sep. 19 2007, 16:19 Thanks for the info Alex, I understand now the bit about the "why" question which I had misinterpreted from babelfish as poor questioning! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Sep. 19 2007, 18:27 Good picture, but why does he have "25" written next to him. Is it a lot number and he's for sale -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

He must be doing something right! -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top
