 Marillion Weeend '09. |
Marillion will support Deep Purple during their 13 day tour in Germany (November 2010). Info at:
Gig List.
Two big Marillion announcements this week. First off, the band have announced another convention weekend will take place in 2011. Like in
2009 the event will take place in the Netherlands and a couple of weeks later in Canada. Timeline is roughly end of March, early April and at present there is talk of moving to different locations than the 2009 conventions.
The second big announcement is that Marillion will be headlining the 5th edition of the Night of the Prog festival on September 4th. It will be 22 years since Marillion's legendary performance at the Loreley amphitheatre.
An interview with Pete is on line (from October 2009).
Fish- vocals till '88;
Steve Hogarth- vocals from '89,
Steve Rothery (25-11-59)-guitar,
Mark Kelly (9-4-61)- keyboards,
Pete Trewavas (15-1-59)- bass,
Ian Mosly (16-6-53)- drums.
Mick Pointer - drums (till medio '83)
In '81 the group has found his members and his style. Fish, John-William Dick, is the strong lead-singer who knows how to use his enormous body and his voice (a resemblance with Peter Gabriel is easy made) to make an act. End '82 an EP The Market Square Heroes
conquers each market place where they performed. Script for a Jester's Tear ('83) is
the best debut album, made ever I believe. (Sorry Mike Oldfield). Whole Great Britain is
lying on their feet. A mister Wilkinson is responsible for the great artwork; it's a shame
that ceedees are so small! Drummer and founder Mick Pointer leaves the group in May '83,
followed very shortly by Andy Ward
(Camel), John Marter, Johantan Mover
(later in GTR with Steve Hackett)
and then Ian Mosly (Steve Hackett,
Trace).
With Fugazi ('84) Europe is taken by surprise. Real to Reel ('84) is a good
live-registration of the bands efforts.
Brief Encounter ('86) is another EP. Bootlegs circulate
in big amounts in the stores, with funny titles such as; Selling England for 5 cent.
Misplaced
Childhood ('85) contains the hit-single Kayleigh and a wider public is reached. On
Clutching at Straws ('87) the group leaves the symfo-trail and the single Incommunicado is
not a success. With the background singer
Tessa Niles. B-sides themselves ('88) is for all the audio fans who didn't had a all their bootlegs and remixes first
singles on ceedee. When it's announced that Fish breaks with his lads the fans are disappointed.
Steve Hogart (ex-Europeans) takes the roll as lead-singer, and it must be said he seems to satisfied a great part of the fans.
Seasons End ('89) is an proof that the group will survive even without Fish.
Holiday's in Eden ('91) is not selling well, followed by the strong concept album
Brave ('94)(with a great rol for Steve Rothery). Strange Engine ('97) seems
to be a highlight again and live they perform well. The other ceedee's don't reach the level
of to be mentioned...
John Wesly
is their support-act from '92 till '98 and then he goes working with Fish! In the meantime
Steve Rottery and Pete Trewavas do some
session-work for/ with: Iris,
The Wishing Tree, Arena and
Hogarth makes an solo-album;
The Ice Cream Genius ('97). A bunch of albums are made in the meantime: Brave,
Afraid of Sunlight, Radiation and many best of albums.
They like to follow the commercial music business with; Unplugged at the Walls ('99).
Marillion.com is an disappointed album from '99. Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) produced 5 songs of this site. Followed by three albums for the freaks; The single box, Fracted and a X-mas album.
Anoraknophobia (2001) is a new album that will sell good.
Steve Hogarth - voice, trainspotting, morris dancing, base jumping,
Steve Rothery -guitars, car numbers, star trek,
Mark Kelly - keyboards, fossil collecting, brass rubbing,
Pete Trewavas - bass, stamp-collection, tv repairs,
Ian Mosly - drums, ornithology, taxidermy.
A few dvd's came out: The Single Collection and Brave Live DVD.
Marbles is the excellent (double) ceedee and more dvd's are seeing the daylight!
The album Somewhere Else will be released on April 9th 2007 through the band's own Intact label.
The album was preceded by a single See It Like A Baby on 26 March 2007.
Steve Hogarth - vocals, occasional piano, percussion,
Steve Rothery -guitars,
Mark Kelly - keyboards,
Pete Trewavas - bass, occasional guitar, acoustic guitar on "Faith",
Ian Mosly - drums,
Michael Hunter - all sort of things while the band was out,
Sam Morris - French Horn on "Faith",
recorded, produced & mixed by Michael Hunter.

The Friday night was for my friends from the Reasoning,
chatting and having some beers...
After seeing the Wishing Tree (with Steve Rothery) (nice ambient show) it was time for the Reasoning to support them, awesome! But i already knew tAT.
Marillion Saturday evening.
My last time i saw them was in the eighties and i saw them a lot then. But wen Hogarth came i lost interest. Sorry.
But after i saw the live dvd from London, i was interested again and yep the last album "Hapiness is the road" is Top.
Saw i witnessed a perfect show, great musicians who deliverd a perfect set. And even for me who didn't knew the songs it was high tea time. Hogart is
good frontman and fills in his role with souplesse and some dramatical movements.
Abslutely worthed to see and enjoy.
Lightshow and sound was great, was really great.
