Mike Oldfield'sTUBULAR BELLS FOR TWOHIT THE IMAGE ABOVE TO WATCH VIDEOWINNER - BEST MUSIC - 2015 ADELAIDE FRINGE ARRANGED BY AIDAN ROBERTS & DANIEL HOLDSWORTH Exposing Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells is perhaps the most unlikely smash hit record ever to be released. The beautiful and sprawling progressive Celtic - folk -rock opus shot to number one in album charts around the world in 1973, throwing its young composer into the international spotlight and kick-starting Richard Branson's Virgin Empire. The original masterpiece required more than 30 musicians to perform it. Now, 40 years on, performed by just two massively talented Australian musicians with over 20 instruments on stage, this thrilling show recreates the album on stage, in real time in a unique and compelling theatrical experience. Tubular Bells for Two burst onto the international scene at the Sydney Festival and was the smash-hit show of the 2012 & 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringes - winning a Herald Angel Award and garnering several five star reviews for its mix of theatricality and skilled musicianship. Join us to witness this herculean feat as multi-instrumentalists Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts recreate the beauty and playful lunacy of one of the most important albums of the 20th Century with just four hands and four feet. Herald Angel Award Winner 2012 “Two man orchestra bring soundtrack of 70s back to life... an intensely focused race around every twist and turn of Oldfield's quirky masterwork” The Times ***** “A live music experience, a virtuoso performance from two musicians at the top of their game.” Edinburgh Evening News ***** “The musical equivalent of the triathlon – with bells on.” The Scotsman “A musical tour de force. Mesmerising to watch” Sydney Morning Herald
