Born 21 March 1943 - singer/songwriter, musician, author, poet & wit, Vivian Stanshall, founding member of Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band who had the 1968 No.5 single 'I'm The Urban Spaceman'. Viv announced all the instruments on side one of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells album. #VivStanshall #TubularBells

Mira no!!! #tubularbells no es mejor que #tubularbells2 y podéis matarme. El 1 es un discazo que fué innovador y novedoso en su momento. Y por eso se quedó en el corazoncito de todas/os. Pero el 2 suena impresionante y los temás están redondos musicalmente. Ala, ahora lo sigo escuchando.

At 19 Mike Oldfield was planning to defect to Russia before fate intervened Mike Oldfield on how fate intervened with his career: “It’s fortuitous that Viv Stanshall was there – and what a good idea to put the tubular bells in”

You’d think adding meaning and emotion to music you already know and love all your life would be difficult? Well it was done with 8 musicians playing #MikeOldfield - extended sections of #TubularBells II and III, and the entirety of TB1. A joy and thrill from beginning to end. #Prog #ProgRock

If you ever wondered (I mean who didn’t) how many people it takes to play #TubularBells by Mike Oldfield when he isn’t playing all the instruments by himself, this is how many.

Songs that bring me joy that I think you should hear too, because we all could use more joy. #musicsky #MikeOldfield #tubularbells . Guess who is the "Master Of Ceremonies"? Hint: he was a confirmed Slytherin. youtu.be/uDp-xpN7Xqg?...

Here with your Halloween / Samhain #TOTP content; #RubyFlipper had two male dancers, and was the immediate predecessor of the all-female #LegsAndCo, which took over in 1976. #TubularBells by The Champ's Boys Orchestra:

Mike Oldfield was 19 years old when he created this masterpiece. Genius.

My fab music teacher / tutor Mr Pullin played this to us when it came out - he'd write the mini - movements / instruments in chalk on the blackboard with timings.

We'd beg him to play it over and over. We couldn't afford the record - had to commit it to memory. #TubularBells

The problem is Side 2. Maybe it’ll grow on me this time after - bloody hell - 52 years. #TubularBells

It’s fucking cathartic
