Marillion live in London

Yes, they do still exist and no, they don't play Kayleigh any more. The big Scottish bloke has left, but the band continue to release quality music to a largely oblivious public. Did you know they had a UK top ten hit in 2004?

Anyway, last Monday I found myself in the Kentish Town Forum watching a great band play a great show. Sure, it was a little less intimate than their Vicar St gig last year, but it was a pleasant surprise to see 2000 souls come out on a cold December night to see a band that most people would probably cross the street to avoid. They weren't promoting a new album, so the set was culled from all their albums since the aforementioned fishy one left, and hearing them in a venue with good views, reasonable sound and a bigger light show than they would usually be under (in Ireland, anyway) made me glad that there were still real musicians out there, and hope that their day will come again. If Radiohead played some of these songs, they would be huge.

Anyone for a game of Marbles?

I can´t remember the title but they had an album probably in 1997 or so that I thought was fantastic. Was kind of a reddish cover. I liked the voice of the then new singer a lot.

That was probably Radiation from 1998 (well, it's got a reddish cover anyway).
