Aidan Roberts and Daniel Holdsworth will attempt the impossible when they recreate composer Mike Oldfield’s album Tubular Bells live for Freo Royale with the help of more than 20 instruments between them, including stints on keyboard, guitar, tin whistles, kazoos, drums and of course tubular bells.
Holdsworth said they had been performing together since they were teenagers and liked doing unusual projects.
“Our mate John Pinder coined the phrase, ‘One album, two men, too many instruments,’ and I think that pretty much sums up what Tubular Bells for Two is all about,” he said.
“We were listening to Tubular Bells and thought, ‘wouldn’t it be fun to try play all of the album live with just the two of us’, so that’s what we set out to do.

Tubular Bells for Two will be at the Fremantle Town Hall from February 4 to 7.
