Tubular Bells Live, the celebration of over 50 years of this iconic piece of music, came to The Forum in Bath recently. Jenna caught up with Robin Smith, Musical Director of the tour, who transcribed and reimagined Tubular Bells for the 21st century. Robin's written songs for, produced, and worked with some amazing characters from Phil Lynott to Elaine Page, from Earth Wind and Fire to, of course, Mike Oldfield.
The conversation is a real mix of interesting industry stories, tales of musical collaborations that weren’t supposed to happen, and dreams that came true! Plus of course, a fascinating insight into Tubular Bells from one of the two people who truly know it inside and out.
Just press play to listen, and celebrate Tubular Bells 50th anniversary.
