Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells for Two Assembly George Square

HHHH

Half-way through their show, Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts stop to "turn the record over". They're joking. These Aussies aren't miming. Quite the contrary; they're working their fingers to the bone, pressing flesh to frets, keys and drumstick, often two of them simultaneously. And while they have access to technology that wasn't available when Mike Oldfield toiled over Tubular Bells in the days of ye olde LP, their realisation of this album is a physical as well as a musical feat.
