Delfín Group: Members Posts: 667 Joined: Nov. 2000 Posted: Oct. 31 2011, 16:06 Hi guys, I'm in the talks of forming a band exclusively performing tracks from Mike Oldfield's discography. I think there's no name yet, and I'd like to propose one. I haven't got a clue. Wouldn't be bad a bit of brainstorming, and a very early idea is the person that got the finally successing name would eventually receive a free copy of our first recording. So it is on now! -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top

A cover band needs to attract the "a little bit interested" crowd, not just us manic fans! Hmm.. "Get To France"? -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Cloth Eared Nincompoops??? hehehehe @ Ugo - That one is good as well... could be as well... 'Hey and Away'...   @ olracUK - Or even 'Poison Arrows'...    or even less obvious, 'Moonlight Show'... this one wouldn't be that bad...   Thanx to all for the ideas!!! -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top

I knew someone who was planning a Gong/Hawkwind tribute band and wanted to call it Gong with the Wind, but it didn't happen. Anyway, good luck with the band and let us know when you're making music. Just a thought: How about Exposed, or Exposure, as it's a live project. -------------- Website@: http://www.musicbysweep.com Twitter: sweep1 Bradnor Hill (in memory of David Bedford): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKeATjaMCgA Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Nov. 02 2011, 07:48 Seems a bit cheesy,but a MO tribute band with Tubular something on it is so catchy if you have big plans! -------------- "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

Would be suitable if we increase the concert ticket!!!! I think it's a winner. Are there any new TV show not featuring vampires? So you'd get teenagers, connaisseurs, and more importantly not Ugo to your concerts. Back to top
