She'll just be a model who they employed because she had the kind of looks they were after (good choice too), but I don't know her name - for that, you'd have to find someone who was connected with the making of the video (or somebody who recognises her from somewhere else). I certainly understand you fine, oriel Back to top

oriel Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: July 2003 Posted: July 17 2003, 02:56 Thank you for high answer. But you write: the vocalist on To Be Free, Jude Sim I thank, that Sally, Oldfield's sister, was recording vocice on other studio, and Oldfield mixed this with his music. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: July 17 2003, 03:36 Well, I can't say much, other than that Jude Sim is the only vocalist credited on the single, as 'lead vocalist'. If you read between the lines (and there may be no lines to be read between...), it leaves open the possibility that there could be other vocalists taking lesser roles on the song...but if any vocalist was going to be picked to appear in the video, it would be the lead vocalist - that's why Anita Hegerland is in the Pictures In The Dark Video and not Barry Palmer...but that's not really relevant, as it's not Jude Sim, Sally Oldfield, Amar, or anyone else I can think of!

In fact all those indications that you can hear: "Welcome", "return to the origin", "the Earth Spirit is watching you", "find the ring"... and some of those can be heard too at the record (that's why she is credited, but maybe she did some backing vocals too).
