Tubular bells spectacle

Ask anyone who grew up in the 70s and they will be able to tell you exactly where they were when they first heard Tubular Bells. It was the first release on Richard Branson's fledgling record label, Virgin Records, selling over 40 million copies - kick-starting the Virgin empire - and later becoming the soundtrack to the cult-classic film, The Exorcist.

Tubular Bells for Two is an intricately choreographed thrilling piece of tightrope theatre. The duo are literally rushed off their feet as they dash around a sea of instruments. Things can go wrong at any moment, and the slightest mistake or misplaced limb can bring the entire show crashing to a halt.

Regardless of whether you are a Tubular Bells virgin, or long-time fan, Tubular Bells for Two is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Don't miss your last chance to see it!
