ONE album, two men, too many instruments! Two crazy barefoot Aussies wield over 20 instruments to faithfully recreate Mike Oldfield’s epic 1973 masterpiece in Stroud this September.

It's a thrilling, tightrope piece of music theatre not to be missed. Following sell-out seasons around the world and an appearance at the 2015 Adelaide Fringe Festival where it was given the Best Music Award, Tubular Bells for Two returns to tour the UK fresh from its third run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where it previously won Herald Angel and Bobby awards.

Tubular Bells for Two is the recreation of the original album performed as faithfully as possible whilst accepting the challenge of undertaking such a large piece of music with only four hands and four feet. But most importantly, rather than simply mimicking Oldfield’s multi-tracked arrangements, this show captures the soul and emotional journey of this remarkable folk-rock epic.

Tubular Bells for Two started as an idea conjured up over a bottle of wine and two guitars by Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts. After arranging the music of this classic rock album by ear for acoustic guitar, more and more instruments were added to create the current stage set-up of keyboards, guitars, bass, mandolin, glockenspiel, loop pedals and of course tubular bells, forming a mathematical and acrobatic musical rollercoaster.
