I first heard Tubular Bells in about 1977, so I’ve been following Mike Oldfield’s varied career for nearly 40 years … more than anyone other than The Beatles, ELO and Boney M, I guess.
It’s often overlooked that Oldfield is a consummate guitarist – his guest performances for other artists allows him to have a much freer and more fluid playing style and are well worth seeking out.
