I went to the concert this evening.
This all happend in Verdens teateret" town Sandefjord.
Then on the stage, they all arrived.
The tunes was dark and there North Point came.
Lovely played and so strange too see..
It was so unreal in someway. I have never seen Mike in my life, and it is very rare to hear his music.
Now suddenly in my town, Anita Hegerland and her son Noah Oldfield plays North Point, just 15 min walking from my house!!!
Noah was nervous but i think he did a great job! Some few mistakes is nothing compares to what they gave us on stage.
I think they rocks!!
Set list: (mike songs)
North Point
Innocent
Moonlight Shadow
Family Man
Shadow on the wall
Pictures in the dark

It was very focused on mike songs :)
I have filmed some solos and they will soon appears on youtube!

But!!!!!!!!!! :D

But!!!! :D

As soon the concert was over they all was gone..
The audience was really good. Anita gave the audience the real attention, she talked to us and was singing with real eye contact (me include!! )

Anyway..
after some waiting after the concert i suddenly saw Noah on stage again. He stood there with hes guitar or something; anyway, i speak to him  :O
Im a very shy man so it is not easy.
I said he played very well on stage, and it was funny to see Mike music's been playing her in my town. Of course i had to mention that i was a big fan, i also told him about this site, but he had never been here. Maybe he have now he he.
It was so nice, and i was lucky to have hes autograph.
Nice boy and very alike hes father i must say.
Many times during the concert he's solos and style was like his father. I really hope a new musican from the Oldfield family is on the road soon.  
But after getting his autograph on Earth moving and Islands i ask  were Anita was. Then suddenly he show me the way backstage, and there the girls was!
First i saw was Anita smiling, she was so open to me and very glad. She thanked me for comming to this concert.
Then i saw Greta too. I must confess; she is lovely. I feel warm inside when i think about her now. Wow!
Both Anita and she was there, and Anita signed Earth moving and islands while we was talking about the music and the magnifican album Islands. (the real great thing is that they talk norwegian, thank God! )
Greta was curious. Maybe, because i told that i was a huge fan of mike. She mention the new book and i said i had it. And i mention that i hope Mike will tour soon. She talks about Night of the proms, but i had to say i was unlucky to miss that. But as soon he his on the road he can count on me.
Greta was a smiling charming girl. She really charmed me, that is true for sure.
Anita was also very kind and happy. I was so suprised over the kindness they gave me. Like they understood all i said.
It was a quite strange Mike atmosphere. All that was missing was him in a way.

Wow...ha ha! That's some neat story you have there Tubularman. :D
I'm glad that Noah is Mike alike...I really hope that he doesn't have to go through the same misery, but that just maybe he will have some of Mike's musical composing skills somewhere.  ;) Good to see them in such great spirit.

Brilliant clips Kay! Fantastic.

I never was a fan of "Islands", but the North point version was very good. I might even get the album out and blow the cobwebs off it for a play now.  :p

Was that Anita forgetting some of the lyrics to Northpoint I saw ;)

good to see all the posetiv comments!
I don't know if she forgot them because she was singing like that in the whole song... I thought that too in the beginning, but im not sure :) She also had the song text in front of her...

It was nice to see and hear this rockier version of Innocent. I'd be love to hear a cover version of it in this style.

Thanks, Kay! :)
