Original song by Tom Newman.
This version performed and recorded by John Chivers in May 2021.
Inspired by Tom’s recent recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEP1OCsOyv0) of the song he originally recorded in 1975 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK7lK4OUC58).
Tom Newman was heavily involved in and responsible for getting Mike Oldfield started and he (co-)produced multiple Oldfield albums, including of course Tubular Bells (spot the t-shirt).
But it’s clear that Tom’s also written some cracking music of his own.
His own latest version of this track, involving collaborators Rob Reed and fellow Oldfield stalwart Les Penning is available from https://www.tigermothshop.co.uk/store/Tom-Newman-c99137009.
