roys1 Group: Members Posts: 12 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: May 24 2006, 11:42 have a look at this taken from the OMD website:- OMD will be performing as part of the forthcoming Nokia Night Of The Proms later this year. The event combines pop and rock acts backed by an orchestra and has become a very popular event in Europe. Other acts joining OMD on the set list include Mike Oldfield and John Miles. Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: May 24 2006, 15:12 I did some checking, and as I suspected it had nothing to do with high-school dances. Does it have anything to do with BBC Proms? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: May 24 2006, 15:43 Hmm..of course I am now searching the kids savings jars and turning out the cushions of the couch for spare change. Germany here I come. There have been many "Last Night Of the Proms" type shows by orchestra's around the world, mainly consisting of light classical, maybe some popular film themes, finishing with flag-waving bombastic crashes. But from what I've read so far, this show seems to be a league above that kind of thing. Are there any rumours as to the part Mike will be playing? Will the orchestra play any of Mike's compositions, or will Mike be a (very over qualified) band member, or perhaps just a guest spot? <edit> munich just sold out whilst I was browsing the ticket web site! -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: May 24 2006, 18:17 It would be good for Mike to do this if they stick to his works that lend themselves to a classical makeover plus his already orchestral pieces, Mont St Michel would be amazing live. However I hate it when they do naff orchestral versions of popular music so I hope he doesn't try to do an orchestral Moonlight Shadow for example. This could amazing though, if there is one popular composer who could really do something interesting with this its Mike. Back to top
