[A] [E]
[G] Oh, that's a great surprise to me.
Michael Oldfield is with us this morning, as is Joyce
the Juice Walker from the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Mike, you mentioned earlier that what you
like most of all is playing music, not talking music.
Can we let you fulfil that desire?
If you like it.
[Em] Is it an acoustic [B] guitar?
[G#m]
Oh yes.
Good [Bm] man.

Oh, that's lovely.
[G] You can hear the orchestration in that.
Can you?
Yeah, you sort of write like you're an orchestra,
don't you?
You can put this
A walking orchestra.
Yeah, well you are really.
You [D#] can't still play tubular ballads, [F#] can you?
I think so.
[Em]
[F#] [D] Oh, that's beautiful.
Thanks very much.
That's really great.
And [G] you've brought out the new
video album.
Was I right in saying that there's a whole [D] video album coming out?
Yes, a whole video [G] album.
Why do you call it a video album instead of
an album that's supported by videos?
[D] Because they were conceived at the same time
as music [G] video.
And have you been part of the video [B] conception,
as it were?
Yes, well I approach the video the same way
as I do the music, which is like a one-man operation.
You don't do it yourself then, do you?
You make the video yourself.
Yes, I have a video studio.
It's really complex stuff, what we saw [Dm] earlier.
Well, you people have been doing it for a while, haven't you?
We don't do things like
I mean, you [G] had Kevin Ayres sitting there at a table
with a little postcard on the table, and suddenly it sort of wadded up and
floated away.
We don't [N] do that.
We try.
It's easy when you've got the right machine.
Fascinating.
By the way, if you break [G] a thumbnail, you really get [G#] into it.
Can [G] you show
Test for any cameraman here, I'm afraid.
Turn it round.
[N] That's it.
That's fine, the thumbnail.
Why don't you use the ordinary sort of

So if you [B] actually broke one of your thumbnails, you'd be in
So you can get a plastic one, stick it on with glue, I think.
It's not much good.
[G] There's living proof that you don't just push buttons.
Because that's what you were accused of once upon a time,
just being a sort of electronic wizard.
[F#] You [G#m] can do it with your fingers.
That's terrific.
It was great to hear it.
Thank you very much.
Is it time for Giles?
[F] Because there's this man
sitting on my left with this enormous scarf, and I [G] thought,
probably Giles behind me.
Good luck with the video album.
Thanks very much.
And when it emerges, when?
It [D] should be in the shops today.
In the shops today.
And the Harlem Globetrotters were there at Wembley
on June 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and [A] 4th.
And the 5th.
And the 5th.
Greatest basketball show on earth.
Thank you both for [G#] joining us this morning.
