This is another one from my childhood. Always on the radio in the mid-70s, so has lots of fond memories for me.

Some music is just perfect for lifting the spirit and putting you in a good mood.

This is a fine example of such music.

I needed this today !

Definitely picking me up on my drive to work. Amazing guitar playing Those runs you do so consistently and smooth and you hear every freaking note. I've got to imagine in the day of MP3 recording emails all the collaborating that we do here there has to be some session work out there for a musician as fine as you.
This is a fun piece and it really shows what a tasteful player you are. Rock on!

On that you can rely

I was a HUGE Oldfield fan back in the day (I still have TB, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn on the Piepod), so approached this with a thrill of anticipation.

Not disappointed - Oldfield plays so cleanly and, as the others have said, so do you.

Excellent and nice to hear on a slow Thursday in March....

Excellent version Johnny - every time I head an Oldfield tune, I can't help thinking of the Blue Peter episode when he recorded the theme tune - I'm sure that had a big influence on me, and probably why I love recording now.
