Surely Mr Oldfield wrote the part with him in mind?

It’s a long story, but I once, innocently, took a job from a company which was owned and run by the cult which Mike Oldfield was part of. If you google Oldfield and Exegesis you’ll see the sort of thing they got up to (we were management consultants . . . long story!)

It always sounds to me like he was thinking about these chaps.

I walked up Hergest Ridge on Friday. I believe Mike used to go up there on horseback.
