Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Mar. 12 2006, 14:37 I've got this picture from oldfieldmike.de (which doesn't excist anymore unfortunately). The title is "Mike with V". Does somebody know who this is? Also, does somebody know where and when this picture was taken? It seems to me the recordings of Orchestral Tubular Bells, but I'm not sure. http://www.xs4all.nl/~schaatsb/Mike_Oldfield_with_V.jpg -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

vanframboos Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: Mar. 2006 Posted: Mar. 13 2006, 11:36 This is the conductor Vernon Handley. It's a strange pic of him (and M). (By the way this is my first post here - hello!. It was probably taken at the sessions for David Bedford's 'Star's End', and I guess is a really unique picture. Thanks for posting it! Vernon Handley (normally nicknamed 'Tod' is one of the best-loved conductors of English music, most famous for his recordings of music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Arnold Bax, Elgar, Delius, Holst - and has made hundreds of 'classical' recordings. 'Star's End' was made early on in his recording career, before his really great albums were made. Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Mar. 13 2006, 12:32 So I looked it up and this picture would probably be in Barking Town Hall, August 1974 were Star's End was recorded. Or it could be the Manor... but the Manor looked different from the inside right? -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Poor Mike, why is everyone being so horrible to him   . At first I thought the other bloke in the picture was perhaps an older brother of Charles Kennedy, until recently leader of the Liberal Democrats (UK political party) , an opposition party to the government,  now I know he's the renowned conductor Vernon Handley. BTW I happen to like that pic of Mike, must be that long hair   . Thanks for sharing it Blue Dolphin.  BTW like your avatar pic, where do you keep finding all these pics of Mike? -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Thanks for sharing it Blue Dolphin.  BTW like your avatar pic, where do you keep finding all these pics of Mike? Yeah, Mike looked the coolest with his long hair. It's groovy I've got long hair too. But about the pictures: they're all from the (now gone) oldfieldmike.de website. So thanks to the webmaster to that! But it's a big collection, maybe I can put it online? -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: June 08 2006, 00:53 Oh my God, poor Mikey. While I adored his 'Jesus' look he looks so miserable in this photo. Obviously consumed with panic attacks and an inability to cope with his new found fame. He looks like he has not slept for a month or has just polished off two bottles of vodka or has been punched in the face. I know which is most likely closest to the truth but I would not like to say. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top
