Nope, I've been a fan since I was 9 or 10. ;)

But there was another one on this forum who was much younger. I believe it was Korgscrew, who listened to Oldfield when he was about 5.... check the rest of the forum, I started this disscusion a long time ago. :)

No this little guy is the youngest- i should know i'm his father !
It's true he was rocking in his pram to tubular bells 2 as a baby. In fact we played some Tubular Bells and Ommadawn during the labour ! it seemed to calm him down a bit too.
At his school disco last friday he requested Man in the Rain and to the surprise of his mates boogied around to it.

I started listening to Mike in about 7 (Q.E.II. - generally Taurus I (my favourite)).

I'm not sure when I first heard Mike Oldfield. I can remember being around 12 or something and listening to Tubular Bells, but I had heard it a lot by then.

when I was 10...

All three daughters (ages 8, 10, 15) listened to MO in utero (zinc--I suspect your son did, too, eh?). HR, Incantations, Ommadawn (and for the youngest) TBII accompanied us in the hospital. The 8 and 10-year old are still fans, especially of the vocal stuff, and absolutely WHINE (yikes!;) sometimes for MITR and MS. They've also been know to get into fights over which one to play first. They, along with two other young MO fans (daughters of someone on the Amarok ML) sang "TBF" in the car while we were driving around Chincoteague and Assateague Islands (Virginia) this past June.

My 15-year-old is into other music; in fact, she has been known to tease me about being so in love with MO music. Earlier this summer, she flew off on a music tour, and one of the last things she said (out of the blue) before departing was, "Mom. Just want you to know. I really don't think MO's music is all that bad. I kinda like some of it."   Guess if something had happened she didn't want me to go through life thinking she didn't like the music. ??? <-:

All three seem very interested in playing MVR, so now that our summer is calming down a bit and we have the key, I imagine they'll begin playing very soon. We're in the US, so perhaps though I'll not be able to be online at 11 am local time (ah, the sacrifices of working <-; ), you might run into the three of them. If they can agree on an avatar. <-;

At 27 I am not the youngest, but I admire younger people than me that also enjoy Mikes music.

I can remember seeing a music video of, what I think was one of Mikes. It was played on the ABC in Australia before Dr Who 6pm'ish.. in the earlier 80's. I loved it.

If it was Mike that means that without the prompting of parents or surounding adults, I was listening to Mike when I was about 5 or 6 year old.

The clip had men who were flying all sorts of contraptions and a dog ended up sitting listening to a gramaphone. Was this actually a MO clip? Was Mike in this clip?
