The Best of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells I II & III

A concert built around the Tubular Bells albums of Mike Oldfield, the English multi-instrumentalist and composer, at The Alexandra in Birmingham.

Tubular Bells, released in 1973 by Virgin Records, was the first album issued on that label. Mike Oldfield wrote and recorded it as one extended instrumental composition in two parts, playing most of the instruments on the record, and it became a landmark of progressive rock. Its opening theme gained wide recognition through its use in the 1973 film The Exorcist.

The title refers to the Tubular Bells series, which continued with Tubular Bells II and Tubular Bells III. The programme draws on these three albums, so the evening suits listeners who know Oldfield's instrumental work or want to hear its best-known sections.

The Alexandra hosts concerts and shows in Birmingham, and this event is one of its music nights in the city.
