According to his website, acoustic guitar player Richard Durants current concerts include a "unique solo take on Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells played to footage of the Apollo Moon Landings".

Anyone heard him in action?

I saw him earlier this year purely 'cos the advert mentioned Tubular Bells.

Was a small show, all seated and people of a certain age! Around 100 in the auditorium.

He's a great guitarist, chats between selections.

I would definitely recommend seeing him. The TB bit was quite short, main riffs overdubbed live on stage so quite cleverly done.

The answer is 42 - but what is the question?

Ah, did he have one of those Roland pedals where you record a short passage, you loop it & you play on top of the loop, then you make another loop and so on? :) They're cool. An Italian blues (acoustic) guitarist named Alex Britti does wonderful things with that sort of stuff.
