Interesting thought, since Morris Pert (a percussionist) has worked for both,
on many of Mike Oldfield's later albums and on HOL w/Kate.  Can anyone remember
any other musicians both have used in common?  BTW, Morris Pert worked with
Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel (we know he and Kates connection).  I saw
Mike Oldfield live in Germany in '83 and Morris Pert was a member of the 
Mike Oldfield band.  He's very interesting to watch play kettle drums (it
looked like he was making love with them!)

Just more trivia....
