Tom Newman (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Newman (born 1943) is an English record producer and musician ( Rhythm guitar). Tom Newman was born in Perivale. In 1968 he played in a band called "July" whose only album, also called "July" (Major Minor) is one of the most valuable UK psychedelic albums.
In 1970, he began working with Richard Branson and helped building the The Manor Studio in Oxford. He met there the 18-year old Mike Oldfield, who lent him a rough demo tape of what should become a famous recording of the 1970s, Tubular Bells.
Tom Newman released some albums as a solo musician and produced several albums for other artists, most notably with Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells, Tubular Bells II, Heaven's Open).
