They've been recording at Real World and by all accounts it's sounding very good.
Dave seems really excited by what they've done so far.
The 4 Fish led albums, along with B Sides Themselves are simply wonderful to my ears. Jigsaw, Incubus, Fugazi, Forgotten Sons, Grendel, Cinderella Search. Oh the list goes on. I bought the book of artwork and it conjures many memories.
I think Misplaced Childhood and CAS obviously had a different vibe, but still excellent. Vigil is the album Marillion should have recorded next, but obviously that was not to be.
Season's End and Holidays in Eden I loved, and a lot of Brave too. But for me, the melodies disappeared on both sides of the split.
Field of Crows was good from Fish, and I quite like the Feast of Consequences given the whole back story. But I will love those first 4 albums forever. They are too ingrained in my youth to be anything other than perfect. :-)

I'm way more excited about seeing Rothers and getting his album than Marillion though... I'll still check them out but my days of preordering everything they release are in the past unless they start writing songs with hooks (and solo's!)
The Vigil one was double booked and they ended up playing in one of the Hotel the pubs instead borrowing the band's playing there gear, great night.
The PA blew up IIRC.
We got a nice Xmas card from him and Tamara apologising for the cancelled gig, some man altogther.
He did a really intimate gig in Inverness at the Hayloft bar (now gone) even going behind the bar to pour beers for the craic whilst singing still.

Yes recent output is not of the same quality and a part of me wishes they could integrate Fish back in and keep Hogarth too and have two sets one with Fish and after the break Hogarth.

I'd rather see Fish close the night out ;-)

My mate (massive Marillion fan) got all his vinyl signed, then went to the Spar round the corner to buy a bottle of milk so he could get that signed too.
As a matter of fact me too, as good as Hogarth is Fish has a certain energy and the frontman factor.

That is spot on it was the State of Mind tour for the Vigil album.
When they played Pharoahs in the Ice Rink Inverness it was not very long after they released Market Square Heroes which puts it at 1982/1983 and Pendragon had been going since the mid 70's and I was sure that they topped the bill at the Ice Rink.
Having said that most of the late 70's and early 80's I tended to be chemically enhanced and occasionally had some blood in my alcohol system, so I may have been very, very drunk at the time.
Missed the Elgin stuff @DiscoStu due to having to work away at the time, bah!
