This early British folk duo of Mike Oldfield and sister Sally were 'discovered' by PENTANGLE guitarist John Renbourn in 1967 when Mike and his sister were both still in their teens and playing acoustic music in regional clubs. The two recorded a lone album ('Children of the Sun') for Transatlantic in 1969, and disbanded shortly after following a brief tour.Both would go on to lengthy musical careers, Mike with hugely successful experimental music chart-toppers such as 'Tubular Bells' and 'Hergest Ridge'; and Sally as a less well-known but prolific folk artist. The brief carnation of THE SALLYANGIE also included PENTANGLE drummer Terry Cox and NICK DRAKE flautist Ray Warleigh, with arrangements by future JETHRO TULL keyboardist David Palmer (aka Dee Palmer). The album was remastered and reissued in 2002 with updated arrangements and several previously unreleased tracks.THE SALLYANGIE were a brief and early stepping-stone for both Mike and Sally Oldfield and, while not long-lived or well-known, but left a solid memoriam in the form of their lone studio release.
