I’ve renewed my interest in listening to Mike Oldfield again…so I’ve started off with
First
Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells 2003
You will notice Mike Oldfield, has been removed from the cover of the 2003 edition, and it’s been re-worked, as Mike Oldfield, was unhappy with the original 1973 recording, stating it was rushed and out of tune!
Second
This is the 2000 Digitally Remastered edition.
Third
This is the 2010 Digitally Remastered edition.
it’s been many years, since I listened to this album…..
..and it still sounds good
Are you up all night…….
fantastic….you will notice a Supertramp rift in the song from the later 70s!
I’ve just returned from a excellent, fantastic gig by Midge Ure, at Pocklington Arts Centre. A brilliant gig of all his great songs, and especially a fantastic rendition of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes – so very true due to recent events!
Not to put a downer on the event, the gig was fantastic, but to be honest and truthful I did have tears in my eyes, and found it difficult to hold them back when meeting Midge this evening. (due to recent events!). A very emotional evening.
Midge did comment “that he does write bloody miserable songs!” and wished us all the best.
A truly sureal moment, growing up in the 80s and listening to Midge Ure/Ultravox and then to meet Midge in person.
Thanks to Midge, Berenice (and my Dad!)

Hey, things are looking up, I’ve won tickets to see the Manic Street Preachers, the only issue, I’m double booked, at a Wedding!!!
Tickets for Manic Street Preachers
Another fanastic concert by Marina and her band. The University union gig was packed in like sardines in a can. A cross section of the public from teenagers to Mums and Dads escorting their children, or Mum’s escorting their children! (got to be careful what I write, as there’s children reading the blog!).
This video is also available in HD, as it was shot in HD, on a Cisco Flip HD! Just change the you tube options, if you’ve got the bandwidth!
Bootleg DVDs available of the Marina and the Diamonds, Leeds University 5th November 2010 ‘Burger Queen Tour’ gig at a £5 donation towards DVD and p&p (UK), and electricity required to transcode and burn the DVDs!

I wish! Off to see Marina and the Dimaonds again tomorrow night at Leeds University Students Union on the Burger Queen Tour 2010 . Again, same rules apply – mid life crisis – billy no mates, going on his own! But I had to pay £15 this time! Must charge flip camera and digital camera!
Are you satisfied with an average life ?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life ?
from the Song – Are You Satisified? – Marina & The Diamonds
Marina & The Diamonds@Leeds Met 31 May 2010 – A few videos
the sounds quality is appalling because the high volume from the PA at the gig overloaded the camera’s internal microphone. but here are a few videos captured live at Leeds Met on the evening of 31 May 2010.
But the Gig was FAB! Thanks Marina!
Outsider and I Am Not A Robot
Oh No
Numb and Obsessions
Just back from Marina & The Diamonds@Leeds Met – Fantastic Gig
Marina & The Diamonds @ Leeds Met 31 May 2010
Marina & The Diamonds @ Leeds Met 31 May 2010
An artist to watch for the future, excellent voice, excellent lyrics, plays piano, writes own songs, attractive……very Kate Bush! (maybe!)
Videos are rendering upload soon….
My ticket has arrived to see Marina and the Diamonds at Leeds Metropolitan University Student Union on the 31 May 2010, Lindsey thinks I’m having a mid-life crisis, it’s been about 26 years since I last purchased a ticket to see a pop group that was charting for a mere tenner! Lindsey didn’t want to go! So billy no-mates is going on his own!
