Marillion
Were the biggest
thing out of Aylesbury for years and by the mid eighties were filling huge
arenas. Fish left the band in 1988 and has since released a considerable
number of solo albums and is still touring as at 2012. Marillion employed Steve
Hogarth as their new singer and 20 plus years on, retain a loyal and big fanbase which paid for one album to be made in return for credit on the
sleeve. Their style has changed with only an occasional nod back to the
Fish era.
n 2007, Fish headlined
Aylesbury's Hobble on the Cobble annual event, finally being able to
sing Market Square Heroes in the Market Square. What made this
particularly noteworthy and indeed very newsworthy was that he replaced
his band for this song with Messrs Kelly, Rothery, Trewavas and Mosley making this the
first 'classic' Marillion performance in nearly 20 years
Marillion came back to
Friars in 2013, selling out again and drawing an audience from all over
the UK and beyond
Marillion were inducted into the Friars
Heroes hall of fame in 2009.
