Tubular Brass

Mike Oldfield’s classic album performed live in the spectacular setting of Leeds Grand Theatre’s Howard Assembly Room by Tubular Brass - a 28 piece brass band featuring some of the UK’s finest players

“It’s called Tubular Bells. I’ve never heard anything like it in my life” John Peel, BBC Radio 1, 1973.

Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells is one of the great icons of electronic music. Released in 1973, it became one of the biggest selling albums of all time and famously stayed in the UK charts for an incredible 279 weeks. It regularly appears in Top 100 Albums of All Time lists across the world. In the beautiful and atmospheric interior of Leeds Grand Theatre’s Howard Assembly Room, Tubular Brass will be presenting a new score for brass, by acclaimed composer, conductor and arranger Sandy Smith, of this pioneering sonic masterpiece.

Plus a very special performance of Mary Casio by Hannah Peel, a specially commissioned work that combines 70s analogue synthesisers with brass to stunning effect. A Music Net performance presented by Root Music in association with Band on the Wall.
