Whos the Master of Ceremonies on the live Tubular Bells on Airborn?
Although it sounds like Terry Jones it is in actual fact John Gorman of Scaffold fame. The connection is that Mike appeared on Tiswas (probably the best ever Saturday kids’ show) the day before the concert and John Gorman was a regular on that show. This was on the 5th May 1979 and the Birmingham concert was on the 6th. So Airborn has the only released recording of a part of that Birmingham NEC concert (not on Exposed). If you look inside the gatefold cover of Exposed – at the picture just above the words “Extract from Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow” – you will see John Gorman and his megaphone.
