Yearly Archives: 2012

In a new interview published in the Telegraph today, Mike has revealed he is working on a rock album, which includes a song about domestic violence. More information in his Personal Facebook Group

We hope you managed to see the Olympics Opening Ceremony - we’ve been itching but unable to share for months! We (and it seems the rest of the World) were mightily impressed with Danny Boyle’s incredibly diverse and humorous presentation of Great Britain, made all the more special because Mike's World-class, timeless and epic work has finally got the recognition and exposure it deserves. It goes without saying that Tubular Bells, Two Sides, QE2 and Platinum are all much higher in the Amazon charts than they were yesterday! Mike's contribution is available in full on the Isles of Wonder album. Hats off to all involved!

Mike has met Johnnie Walker in London and will contribute to his Radio 2 Show Sounds of the 70s, to be broadcast this Sunday at 3pm

On the eve of the Olympics Opening Ceremony, which features Mike's music and the World's largest harmonically tuned bell, Mike has been spotted in London. We suggest you may want to watch the Opening Ceremony tomorrow at 9pm (BST)!

In addition to Mike recently announcing he is working on the "project of a lifetime" (more on this here, but more still to come), Platinum and QE2 Deluxe editions and a self compiled career restrospective are to be released on 30th July.

Terry Oldfield has finished work on the recording of his new album Journey Into Space featuring Mike on guitars. It includes a track called Flight of the Eagle, which is an arrangement of a piece that Mike and Terry used to play live in Barefoot, their pre Tubular Bells band.  This track also features Mike on guitars. Further details are available at Terry's website.
