Producer Martin Gernon described Oldfield’s Tubular Bells as “one of the most iconic pieces of 20th Century British music”.
“The audience will experience not only incredible music, but accompanying visuals and lighting that will create a feast for the senses,” he added. “It’s not to be missed.”
Brian Blessed added: “I must say it is a great honour to be part of such an iconic work of art. I first became aware of the legendary album in 1973 when I was appearing in I Claudius as the Emperor Augustus Caesar. I must confess I was mesmerised at the time by Mike Oldfield’s creation. I am thrilled to bits to be given the opportunity to work with Simon and the orchestra to bring this wonderful music to life”.
