It's getting nearer and surely the musicians all have to meet up occasionally. Hope it's all OK, and really wish I could go to the concert. It's sure to be amazing. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Oct. 21 2006, 22:57 What about the musicians who are going to play with Mike? I've read a rumor that Mike's band can be the very same band from John Miles,sounds very strange to me,since we all know Mike's requirements for a musician to be part of his live band   -------------- "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

There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

I'm sure that's a comfort to Mike!! He's less stressful now as he already found the triangle player!   -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

New World Man Group: Members Posts: 20 Joined: Dec. 2005 Posted: Oct. 28 2006, 05:43 What would happen if all Mikes band was suddenly struck down with a "mystery" virus after a dodgy curry during the rehearsals? I think all registered users of tubularnet should announce their musical skills so that we are there in readiness in case Mike needs to call us? I for one play a mean barrel organ - my only problem is that as I get towards the end of my 15 min solo I tend to get really excited and start to throw it about aka Pete Townsend! But anyway Mike - If you need me I'm here. So thats 2 of us - me and bee on triangle, good start, but maybe we need some back up? Who else wishes to stand up and be counted?

Hey, I am from Antwerp. Are you saying that the rehearsels will take place in Antwerp ? And would Mike be present there ? He certainly is not playing here in Antwerp. And believe, I checked immediatly when I heared that Mike was performing the NOTP in Germany. -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us ! Back to top

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: Oct. 28 2006, 06:31 The reason Mike is in Antuwerp is the fact that the NOTP season has just started there and he needs the orchestra,the choir and John Miles' Electric Band to rehearsal for the german leg of NOTP   -------------- "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

I'm living less than 5 km away from the place where Mike is rehearsing something he is going to perform in another country   And my company is situated less than 2 km from that place. I could walk over there during my lunch time just to say hello !   I think you should all start a petition which orders Mike to perform at the same place where the rehearsels take place.   -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us !

I could walk over there during my lunch time just to say hello !   I just spotted this, are you really that close? Wow! Have you seen anything interesting? Imagine, just walking down the street and noticing a familiar figure walking towards you. Would you recognise Mike if you were not expecting to see him? I wonder. Could you have walked past him in a crowd? Hope the rehearsals are going well for all concerned and that you lucky people with tickets are looking forward to the concerts. Not that long to wait now. bee -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning.... You heard me before Yet you hear me again Then I die Till I call me again Back to top

Just listen to his voice on A Cask Of Amontillado on Tales Of Mystery And Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe. But now back to the rehearsals. They actually took place on Saturday, October 28th in Antwerp. Firstly Band with Mike, then Orchestra only and finally Band, Orchestra and Mike. The music was said to be 'heavenly'. Further details aren´t known for I wasn´t there. But I think we can expect something very special.   Back to top
