Mike Oldfield took the world of music by storm at the age of 19 in 1973 with the release of his debut album "Tubular Bells", which hit the No.1 spot in numerous countries and has gone on to sell in excess of 16 million copies worldwide. A naturally shy man it was not until the end of the decade that he began to play live on a regular basis. In 1981, by now a confident stage performer, he embarked on his European Adventure Tour which took in the Montreux Festival in July, where he performed in front of an enthusiastic sold out audience.
