Personaly I would`ve went for Maddy Prior before the wee flame-haired scottish songstress.But I do like Maggie all the same admittedly.Anyway I`ll go for Mr Phillips,he`s a great drummer and he and Mike seemed to work very well together.Plus if Mike was working with a real-life drummer,then it would be a fair bet that Mike would be plugging in and playing some "real" instruments himself.One can dream.

I thought this thread specificaly requested a kidnapping?.. "Excuse me Miss Reilly,but would you mind awfully if I threw you into the back of this van and tied you up for a while"? Yeah on second thoughts I probably would go for Maggs after due consideration.Nothing untowards there you understand.It`s just that Phillips looks like he might be a little handy. Back to top

dazzler Group: Members Posts: 103 Joined: June 2009 Posted: June 27 2009, 17:00 I think we should kidnap Mike himself and force him to record with Simon and Maggie again. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: June 27 2009, 17:22 Ironically Maggie still guests now and then on TV shows performing... guess what... "Moonlight Shadow". Even if someone kidnapped her, I don't think she'd ever accept to appear on stage with Mike in one of his big shows... she's too fat for that. The music that Mike is making right now doesn't need Simon Phillips' explosive drumming, so we'd better leave him alone IMHO. I would kidnap one-time Mrs. Oldfield, Anita Hegerland, and have her sing "Islands". Also Kevin Ayers. Indeed, a live-with-orchestra concert performance of the full Islands album would be great. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Isn't that Bonnie's song? How about bringing Bonnie in to sing "Islands" and Anita for "Northpoint" (..have you ever been to Northpoint..). You might have to tie her up and gag her though to get her on stage with Mike. These days she might not even care whether or not he's been to Northpoint (..to spend his time and pray..) - she does ask the question very beautifully though. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.

If Mike is making the kind of music right now that he made on MOTS with a full-scale orchestra.Then all I can say is he must have one hell of a bloody sized boat.Just as well we don`t need to kidnap all those guys,we`d never get them all in the van.Not to mention the amount of rope & chloroform you`d need.

Well if we can get Matt on the job - he knows how to handle Anita, and then we might not need the rope and chloroform... -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Silver Negus Group: Members Posts: 357 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: June 28 2009, 10:22 I considered Maggie Reilly, but I think all three of the oldfields-Sally, Terry and Mike should make one album together, then continue being solo artists.  But i'm not sure if they would be able to work together without rebelling against eachother, in a light hearted way though.

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: June 29 2009, 11:05 If you could i'd like to see Mike work Pierre Moerlin again.Such a shame he's no longer with us.But i think Simon Philips pips it over Maggie.As much as i love Maggies voice someone else her noticed that after Simon left the fold Mike's drum tracks are a bit naff.See guitars for all the proof could want.Synths and computers do not sound as good as a real drummer.They may be difficult,need to be fed raw meat and be on the whole disfunctional as normal human beings (they want to hit things for a living for gods sake)but they sound better than any machine. Drummer jokes.... Q)How do you tell if the stage isn't level? A) The drummer only dribbles out of one side of his mouth. Q)What's the difference between a drum a machine and a drummer? A)You only have to punch the information into a drum machine once. Come back Simon. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top
