I'll try to update my blog as soon as possible. My 6 days in England and France were amazing...an unique experience !!

They will be playing in Chicago this summer and I plan to attend. Have only gotten to see them once here in the states. Incredible band. Thanks for sharing.

Bring back Fish....

Does Marillion do Fish-era songs these days? Would be cool to hear Rothery play regardless. The heir apparent to David Gilmour, for sure.

They played Kayleigh in Birmingham and eventually they play Sugar Mice, Warm Wet Circles, Slainte Mhath, Garden Party and even Jigsaw. I agree with you about Rothery. Great guitar player and also a great human being. I was introduced to him and after that he went to the stage and returned with a guitar pick and said to me: - This is a reward for coming from too far!

They will be in South America in October. I'll be there for sure!

I couldn't miss that opportunity...Battersea was the first place I've visited in my trip.

Glad you like it! There's more to come...I'll post as soon as possible.

I haven't seen them since the Holidays In Eden tour. Planning to see them in Philly in few months.

They will release a new album this year. I can tell you they put a great show. They changed a lot since Holidays in Eden, but the musicanship and their passion for music are the same.

I went there too. But I had to ask strangers to take the photo. It's not as good as yours...but I'll post tomorrow, anyway...

+1 Rothery is another of the underrated GREAT guitar players out there. Love his playing.

His solo on Easter is probably one of most beautiful solos I've ever heard in my life...
