Just as it all seemed to be over, Diz used one of our last coins to phone a number given in an advertisement placed in a weekly music paper &#8211; bassist\/vocalist required. Diz talked them into taking 2 members and tapes were exchanged along with the obligatory bullshit on how well both parties were making out and what connections and levels of success we had acquired. The gig was on and when we both eventually pulled up in the blue van outside 26 Weston Road, nobody knew what to expect but as far as we were concerned we were totally committed to this band. We had no other options, and there was no return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We drifted to the pub and talked warily over a clutch of warm pints. Present were Mick Pointer, drummer and founder member of the band previously known as <em>Silmarillion<\/em>, guitarist Steve Rothery who&#8217;d come down from Whitby in Yorkshire to join the band in &#8217;79, keyboard player Brian Jelliman, band &#8220;manager&#8221; <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" class=\"pic\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Guy Hewison - 1981.jpg\" title=\"Guy Hewison - Photo by Stef Jeffery Depolla\">Guy Hewison<\/a> and all round roadie and sound engineer Chris &#8220;Privet&#8221; Hedge. Diz and I couldn&#8217;t work out initially who was who and who did what. Brian owned the PA and had a Ford Capri. We had a van, Guy rented the house where Steve, Priv and Diz and I were to spend the next six months or so and was obviously the band&#8217;s friend and fan and general dogsbody who was taking care of the business and booking side that nobody else could or would do.<br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Fish: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160807044111\/fish-thecompany.com\/email\/stsfajt.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sleeve Notes<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/Marillion-Script-For-A-Jesters-Tear\/release\/6000835\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Script For A Jester&#8217;s Tear &#8211; Remaster 1997<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<strong>In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fish and Diz arrived in the wake of 1981 with their trunk filled with luggage and lyrics, penned for the instrumental track, convinced they would get the job. So they did, even though Marillion had intended to apply a singing bassist and not two persons. Nevertheless, they all entered a rehearsal studio in early January 1981 to rehearse and record, with Fish on vocals and Diz on bass. The three core members of Marillion, Mick Pointer, Steve Rothery and Brian Jelleyman &#8211; even more enthusiastic than before &#8211; had rented the <em>Leyland Hill Farm Studios<\/em> in early January for rehearsals and private demo recordings, probably just showing off to the two newcomers from the Scottish borderland. So the party travelled to the studio to test and get the feel for each other for the first time.<br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<strong>Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The next few days were spent back at <em>Leyland Farm<\/em>, where Fish performed a couple of songs by <em>Genesis<\/em> and <em>Yes<\/em> by way of audition. Showing off his ability to mimic both John Anderson and Peter Gabriel, he quickly impressed the rest of the band. Despite some reservations about Diz&#8217; bass playing, the two were recruited on the spot. &#8220;I was self-taught, and I&#8217;d only been playing for a couple of years, it was because Fish said, we came as a package, that was why I was there,&#8221; says Diz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">On the same day, Fish took the opportunity to record his lyrics over the top of the <em>Close<\/em> demo tape. Everyone was delighted by the close fit between Fish&#8217;s voice and the feel of the music. &#8220;We could see the potential in Fish, he had a really interesting voice,&#8221; recalls Steve. The final seal on the contract was made between Fish and Priv, who went out on the razz that evening. &#8220;We got blattered and fell into a ditch,&#8221; laughts Priv. &#8220;We walked back with no trousers on.

Next day we trundled in and Diz got through his run-through while I recorded vocals for the first time singing my newly written lyrics entitled <em>The Web<\/em> over an existing band composition written and performed with Doug Irvine singing a few scant verses of lyric. The song was called <em>Close<\/em> and sounded to my ears like <em>Camel<\/em>. I&#8217;d received a tape in Scotland and worked one of my existing lyrics around it. It was the first time the crying Jester was mentioned, an image I identified with as a fat teenager who turned class comedian at school to deflect an endless barrage of taunting from fellow classmates. The result of this early demo made everyone realise immediately that we had something magical. That night our dreams were charged, Steve and I sitting up till the wee hours going through the existing material and working through the possibilities of what we could salvage to create a brand-new set which the new line-up required to begin an assault on the London record companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We were based in Aylesbury, one of the spiritual homes of 70s progressive rock, with the renowned <em>Friars Club<\/em> run by David Stopps, providing focus for a vibrant local music scene which had hosted major and emerging bands for more than 10 years.

For Fish in particular, his job as the frontman in Marillion finally was a dream come through, and he immediately began to enthusiastically work as the band&#8217;s &#8220;manager&#8221; and &#8220;PR agent&#8221;.<br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<strong>Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The weeks that followed, saw the newly completed line-up spending the days reviewing, re-vamping and refreshing the old material, either at Leyland Farm or Anthony Hall. The first rehearsal with Fish and Diz at Anthony Hall gave the incumbents their first experience of Fish&#8217;s wrath &#8211; triggered by problems with the PA. &#8220;We hadn&#8217;t used it for ages, so it took a while to get it working, &#8220;says Priv. &#8220;And Fish started throwing his toys out of the pram. A roaring hangover from the night before didn&#8217;t help!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The audition of a proper vocalist enabled new possibilities, real songs, not just meandering instrumentals, could be put together. Commented Mick Pointer at the time, in an interview with Hugh Fiedler of <em>Sounds<\/em>, &#8220;Before they joined, we were a lot more laid back, although the style was similar&#8230; it was more pretentious, too. We could drag out an idea for about five minutes when it was really only worth about 30 seconds. When Fish and the others joined, it added that bit of punch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Out of this fervour came a much-required creative injection, which later yielded tracks such as <em>Garden Party<\/em>, <em>He Knows You Know<\/em> and <em>Charting The Single<\/em>. But Fish&#8217;s ambitions went way beyond the music, not to mention beyond the previous aspirations of the band. &#8220;Up to Fish&#8217;s arrival we were drifting, but we immediately became a lot more professional,&#8221; explains Steve, &#8220;Fish was so ambitious, so ruthlessly &#8211; all his qualities, that made him difficult to work with, also gave him his drive.&#8221; Guy concurs: &#8220;Without Fish&#8217;s pushiness, the band wouldn&#8217;t have had the measure of success it had. It probably wouldn&#8217;t have amounted to anything.&#8221; After all, most of the band had started with day jobs &#8211; adds Fish &#8220;Apart from Steve, we were the only ones, who had given up a lot, to come down. Steve really came through, but in the rest of the band there was still this weekend gig atmosphere.&#8221; With Fish and Guy manning the phones, it was only a matter of time, before the new line-up was ready to go out and play.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">After &#8220;three months of rehearsals,&#8221; according to Guy, the first gig was on 14 March 1981, in the back room of the <em>Red Lion<\/em>, Bicester.<br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/a>)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"headline\">Club\/College\/Pub Shows &#8211; Leg 1<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"toggle color1\">\n<li class=\"color1\">\n<h3 class=\"tgg-title\">March &#8211; July<span class=\"flagSetlist\">32 Shows<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul class=\"toggle1\">\n<li class=\"mar1\">\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">03.03.1981 &#8211; The Brittania, Aylesbury <span class=\"canc1\">(cancelled show)<\/span><span class=\"canc2\">(canc.)<\/span><span class=\"flagSetlist\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flag\" title=\"England\" alt=\"flag\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"margin-top: -3px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flags\/England.png\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul class=\"content-description\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-camera\"><\/i> <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Flyer - Aylesbury - 03.03.1981.jpg\" title=\"Flyer: The Brittania, Aylesbury - 03.03.1981\">Flyer<\/a>, provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/Marillion\/setlists\/markos-marillion-museum\/\" target=\"_blanck\" title=\"Marko\u2019s Marillion Museum\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marko\u2019s Marillion Museum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> This show was rescheduled to <strong>31.03.1981<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> The subtitle of this <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Demo - Practice Session - 03.03.1981.jpg\" title=\"Demo: &quot;Practice Session&quot; - 03.03.1981\">Tape<\/a> (Marillion &#8211; First Ever Practice Session &#8211; 03.03.1981) obviously makes no sense (Fish and Diz were in the band for two months at this point) &#8211;  the main title &quot;Practice Session&quot; is closer to the truth.

On the band&#8217;s third ever gig, he sported his first &#8220;full facial&#8221; &#8211; a Union Jack mask. &#8220;I thought, the Union Jack looked really good!&#8221; comments Steve. &#8220;Some of the others looked a bit naff, though!&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Speaking of personal experiences and general influences for lyrics, Fish later commented: &#8220;The girl, that I was with that morning we awoke under the boat at the beach at Brighton on 18th March 1981, said &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t it be romantic, if the boat had a name to remember the night by?&#8221; The boat ironically had a number, and the nearest with a name was the <em>Candy<\/em>. I looked on that as being a symbol of how far away I was from a genuine fulfilling relationship and my attitude to sex at that time.&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(The Company Scotland, Issue #5, August 1991.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, one may wonder what Fish was actually doing as far away as Brighton this morning, as the band had to play a gig 100 miles away on the night to come. Nevertheless, the self experienced lyric to <em>Three Boats Down From The Candy<\/em> was, as Fish explains it, written on 28th March 1981 in Aylesbury, the day after the forthcoming gig in High Wycombe. However, these lyrics were to be kept in the book for quite a while, which is a sort of common procedure for Fish, before they were actually assigned to the piece of music, we all know so well. The music for the track would not be completed until Marillion replaced their current keyboardist by the end of this year.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Diz Minnitt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yes, I remember it well! Tiny audience (less than 10) of hardened drinkers who were completely apathetic and disinterested in the band, which they clearly viewed as an irritation in their usual drinking. Consequently, as the gig went on Fish got more animated and progressively irritated with their behaviour and decided to incorporate them into the performance (in theatrical terms breaking the fourth wall) and so at one point he wandered over to one of the louder, more belligerent of the drinkers and kept time on the tambourine he was holding by using the drinkers head. Suffice to say that the passive\/aggressive disinterest stopped to be replaced by a begrudged silence during the songs and polite applause.

I supplied and worked the spotlights for those gigs and other &#8220;discos&#8221; that we put on there.

It was a daunting challenge for me to come up with a lyric and both Steve and I felt that we needed to add sections if we were going to come up with a curve in the arrangement and overall dynamic of the piece that would hold the listener&#8217;s attention and deliver the lyric which I&#8217;d decided to base on a book I had borrowed from Steve, namely John Gardner&#8217;s <em>Grendel<\/em>. The book itself was based on the <em>Beowulf<\/em> legend but rather than adopt the heroic angle he&#8217;d taken the perspective from the creature&#8217;s viewpoint, portraying the warriors as greedy, corrupt and evil and the monster as a sensitive, intelligent being. The juxtaposition of the moral standpoint intrigued me and I set to work. We were concerned about the similarity to the lengthy composition by <em>Genesis<\/em> called <em>Supper&#8217;s Ready<\/em> which also meandered and burst into sections, the end one in particular, which would add conviction to the many critics opinions that Marillion were more than influenced by <em>Genesis<\/em>.

Cooper-Clarke was out on the road to promote his 4th studio album, <em>Me And My Big Mouth<\/em>. For Marillion, this was their biggest gig so far and with the reception they got from the press and the audience, it was obvious to Friars&#8217; manager, Dave R. Stopps, that a bet on Marillion for further gigs there would pay off with certainty. After this gig, he had no doubt about signing Marillion for another support, this time on the main <em>Friars<\/em> stage, where the American band <em>Spirit<\/em> were to appear on 01.08.1981.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tFor this gig in May, their first &#8220;biggie&#8221;, they acquired a graveyard setting from the <em>Hammer Horror Film Company<\/em> and appeared on stage between the gravestones in monk&#8217;s habits, enrolled in a smokescreen of dry ice.

Can&#8217;t recall the name. The other two were made from wood that had then been plastered and painted grey. The more we used them, the more they fell apart, hence I suspect why we decided to get rid of them. We used to have a six-foot black cross as well, which originally came with a hook, so it could be hung upside down. Then of course there was the (plastic) rubber plant that Fish dismembered every show. No specific song reference for the black cross, it was a case of using as much of the <em>Hammer House Of Horror<\/em> props to create a whole stage set in time for the <em>Friars<\/em> gig in May 1981 in the Aston Hall in Aylesbury as we were aware that we were on stage at the same time as the main band who were in the large hall (<em>Art Noveau<\/em> with Nick Beggs in). We had dry ice, a smoke machine and pyro technics, and it was the first appearance of the sack cloth monks outfits (the cloaks with the eyes on were added later after, we realised that the sack cloth tops were completely seen through when the stage lights came on). Fish had face paints and other than the dismembered rubber plant very few other props. The exception being at one of the later <em>Friars<\/em> gigs when he introduced <em>Garden Party<\/em> as &#8220;the Great Cucumber Massacre&#8221; and chopped up a cucumber on stage which was full of tomato ketchup and handed out cucumber sandwiches to the audience.

Kay only stayed a few months before moving to Earls Court in London, the scene for a number of spats, that would lead to her immortalization in a song.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"toggle1\">\n<li class=\"mar1\">\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">06.06.1981 &#8211; Horn Of Plenty, St Albans<span class=\"flagSetlist\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flag\" title=\"England\" alt=\"flag\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flags\/England.png\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSetlist unknown\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-description\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-camera\"><\/i> <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Ad - NME - 06.06.1981.jpg\" title=\"Ad: NME - 06.06.1981\">Ad (NME)<\/a> with tour dates &#8211; Thanks to Mike Eldon<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-camera\"><\/i> <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Ad - St Albans - 06.06.1981.jpg\" title=\"Ad: St. Albans - 06.06.1981\">Ad<\/a> &#8211; Thanks to David Cresswell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"toggle2 lineup\">\n<li>\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">Line-up<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMick Pointer &#8211; Drums<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBrian Jelleyman &#8211; Keyboards<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSteve Rothery &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFish &#8211; Vocals<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiz Minnitt &#8211; Bass\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"toggle1\">\n<li class=\"mar1\">\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">07.06.1981 &#8211; The Bell, Maidenhead<span class=\"flagSetlist\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flag\" title=\"England\" alt=\"flag\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"margin-top: -3px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flags\/England.png\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSetlist unknown<\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-description heading\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> This show is confirmed by Diz Minnitt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Performing at <em>The Bell<\/em> in Maidenhead, the band opened the gig with a couple of minutes playback of gusty winds and ringing church bells.

I lived round the corner in North Ninth St. from 1980-83, so it was my local. It had two bars. As expected in MK it was a new building and both bars were very big by British pub standards. One was a lounge bar and the other a public bar. Both bars were frequented by British motorcycle enthusiasts, the public bar particularly so. Bands played in the public bar, and it was often absolutely jam packed. I can remember Marillion playing there many times and often had conversations with band members &#8211; they were a friendly bunch. It was a no frills pub and the band had to get changed in the men\u2019s dunny (toilet). It had something of a reputation as being rough &#8211; often two or three hundred, or so it seemed, motorbikes were parked outside. Members of several different motorcycle clubs would drink at the pub, but there was very little trouble there as none wore patches inside. There was a nearby office block with a very large courtyard in the middle and the regulars put on a concert there one Sunday with several bands &#8211; not sure if Marillion played at that one &#8211; the liquid refreshments having made my memories a little fuzzy. It was a good pub with a good crowd and did the traditional British pub things like darts and pool. I still have the trophy I won as part of the pool team which won the local pub league competition.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Kiwi @ The Union (Official Fish Forum) &#8211; 09.04.2015)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"toggle2 lineup\">\n<li>\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">Line-up<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMick Pointer &#8211;

His guidance and advice gave us a lot of hope for the future, and the results of the session gave us something to approach the major record companies with. <em>He Knows You Know<\/em> &#8211; a song about drug abuse, the lyric originally written while suffering terrible stomach cramps on a desk in the UBO. My personal excesses and the unwanted advice they attracted from well-meaning people with no experience of the subject were documented and the first version of this song, one we thought was a possible single, was laid on tape, <em>Garden Party<\/em> and another new song <em>Charting The Single<\/em>. A lyric with song sown well in cheek about the other side of my hedonistic activities which I was accused of continuing with by friends of my new full time girlfriend, whose presence in my life had calmed the beast within.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We sent the demo to every major record company in London and everyone including EMI rejected it &#8211; <em>He Knows You Know<\/em> would become a Top 40 single and <em>Garden Party<\/em> number 16 in the UK charts<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Fish: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160807044111\/fish-thecompany.com\/email\/stsfajt.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sleeve Notes<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/Marillion-Script-For-A-Jesters-Tear\/release\/6000835\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Script For A Jester&#8217;s Tear &#8211; Remaster 1997<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">By July, Marillion had counted its pennies and saved enough money to hire a studio, ostensibly to record a demo tape to send to gig promoters, club managers and record labels. Fish had been introduced (by David Stopps) to Les Payne, an established local performer, who was also training as an engineer at Roxon Studio in Watlington, near Oxford. Fish proposed, that Les produced the session, so one Saturday morning he took the band to Roxon. &#8220;It was a grey industrial kind of building with no sign of it, vaguely looking anything like a studio on the outside,&#8221; remembers Diz. &#8220;It reminded me of my father&#8217;s piggery!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Once inside, it was straight to business. Unforeseen circumstances (the planned engineer had been up all night and was falling asleep at the desk) led to Les engineering the session, which included <em>He Knows You Know<\/em>, <em>Garden Party<\/em> and <em>Charting The Single<\/em>. Everything went smoothly (despite this being Les&#8217; first attempt) and the final mixes were laid to tape on the Monday night. &#8220;It was surprising to hear the finished result,&#8221; comments Rothers. &#8220;It sounded pretty good!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The popping of corks at the beginning of <em>Garden Party<\/em> was in celebration of Stef&#8217;s birthday, which coincided with the record sessions. &#8220;We had all this Asti Spumanti!&#8221; smiles Diz. It&#8217;s no wonder, the recordings went so smoothly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Unfortunately, the tape did not cut any ice with the record companies, despite being sent to every major label in London. It was almost inevitable (and strangely prophetic, given events 20 years later) that the band turned to devolving its already sizeable live following instead. &#8220;We were defiant, we knew we&#8217;d get somewhere with it,&#8221; says Mick. &#8220;When you&#8217;re young, you can&#8217;t believe, you could possibly fail!&#8221; Fish concurs: &#8220;We thought, fuck it, it&#8217;s going to happen! It was absolute, total youthful arrogance!&#8221; As he noted in a 1983 interview with Jay Williams of <em>Sound<\/em>, &#8220;Every record company was saying, &#8220;We don&#8217;t want a band like you, we want singles&#8221; and the only way, we could sit opposite them and not be dictated to, was to build up a live-following.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">So they did. Promotion of the band continued relentlessly. Clubs were sent copies of the demo tape, along with a clutch of posters bearing a design by Diz. &#8220;I wanted to use an eye as part of the Marillion logo for a long time,&#8221; Fish wrote later. &#8220;We played around with Egyyptian designs, Diz drew the eye crying into the palm of the hand and feeding the root of the stem from which the eye grew, indicating a sort of self-sufficiency or symbiotic relationship.&#8221; The design, known as the <em>Saliva Tear<\/em>, was the mainstay of the band&#8217;s image right up to its signing to EMI.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">400 copies of the tape (author&#8217;s note: 213 of these are proven by invoices) were pressed and intended as promotional releases, since most promotors wanted to hear the band&#8217;s music before booking them. However, due to a demand from their fans, the tape was later sold at gigs also as promotion for the band.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Fish: &#8220;What&#8217;s happened is, that there were a lot of bands putting together good material, that just became totally disillusioned. They found, they weren&#8217;t getting the exposure needed, to get people to gigs. We&#8217;d found that by July 1981, so we employed a PR guy, Keith Goodwin, (Fish just stormed into his office in London one day and almost forced him) to get our name in the papers, make sure we were always in the gig guide, and that way we got journalists, radio stations interested. It built from that, but we&#8217;ve got to remember, that it&#8217;s still mainly down to the people that follow us.&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Interview with Marillion by Philip Bell, Kerrang! &#8211; 04.11.1982)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"lineup\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Looking back in perspective, more than ten years later, Fish commented on the recording of this demo tape and Marillion&#8217;s struggle to get under the wings of a major record company: &#8220;The first demo we ever put together as Marillion was in Watlington studios in &#8211; I think it was &#8217;81. And it had a song called <em>Charting The Single<\/em> on it, I think it was <em>Charting The Single<\/em>, <em>He Knows You Know<\/em> and <em>Garden Party<\/em>. Now, <em>Garden Party<\/em> was exactly the same arrangement, same lyrics&#8230; the whole bit as the same single that went to number 16 in the charts in 1983. <strong>That tape was rejected by every major label in the UK, including EMI.<\/strong> If you really believe, that you&#8217;re going to do it, you&#8217;ll do it&#8230; We were turned down by everybody, we were told: &#8220;give it up, your music is dead, nobody wants to hear that music anymore&#8221;, right? And you know, <em>Garden Party<\/em> was on an album that went gold! You know, we sold millions and millions of albums of a style of music that everybody said wasn&#8217;t going to happen. The record companies don&#8217;t know what will hit. They have got no idea. Nobody has until the thing goes out.&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Interview with Fish by Dickie Campbell, Radio Scotland &#8211; 27.12.1991)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"pic\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - MSS - 1981 - Roxon Demo - 1981.jpg\" title=\"Marillion-Demo: The Roxon Tape - July 1981\" alt=\"Marillion-Demo: The Roxon Tape - July 1981\" height=\"501\" width=\"834\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"mar2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" rel=\"demoRoxon\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Demo - Roxon Tape - July 1981 [Front].jpg\" rel=\"demoRoxon\" title=\"Demo - The Roxon Tape - July 1981 (front)\">The Roxon Tape<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Demo - Roxon Tape - July 1981 [Rear].jpg\" rel=\"demoRoxon\" title=\"Demo - The Roxon Tape - July 1981 (rear)\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"pic\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Demo - Roxon Tape - Les Payne.jpg\" title=\"Les Payne\" alt=\"Les Payne\" height=\"426\" width=\"834\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> Les Payne &#8211; Photo by <em>Les Payne Rocks<\/em>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"pullquote left\" style=\"margin-top:30px; width:100%\">Marillion, an Aylesbury five-piece, who freely admit the marked Genesis influence both in their writing and performance, release a limited-edition, privately-recorded cassette this week.

The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Marillion had a number of objectives before it could start to tackle finding a label or getting airplay. One was to headline at the <em>Friars Club<\/em>, considered by all as the most important venue in the region. Fortunately, having seen them in action during <em>Aylesbury Arts Week<\/em> in May, David Stopps was quick to book them again, offering the band their first &#8220;proper&#8221; gig at <em>Friars<\/em> in support of US band <em>Spirit<\/em>. The date was set 1st August 1981, with the stage once again being the Aston Hall. The now-familiar Les Payne suggested, they should all wear costumes of some sort, so off Fish went to <em>Hammer House Of Horror<\/em> TV studios at Hampden Woods. &#8220;The studios were closing down and Fish went up there and brought loads of stuff in the sale. The outcome was, that the stage was crammed with the stuff,&#8221; remembers Les. Indeed, it was &#8211; a full graveyard setting, complete with gravestones and dry ice. The performance started with the tolling of a bell, the band surprising even its hardcore fans by walking up to the stage from the back, through the audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Everything went as smoothly as a <em>Spinal Tab<\/em> outtake. According to Steve, &#8220;We went on in these long monk-style gowns, without trousers on. We had some floor level lighting shining up. During the gig, I turned around to see Diz. As I did, the lights came on and the material became transparent. So, there he was, stood in his undies. I thought, well, if I can see him&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t help but feel a bit exposed after that!&#8221; The stalwart players played on, undaunted, and all in all it was a great show. Fish reeled out some of his favourite party tricks, such as the ketchup-filled cucumber for <em>Garden Party<\/em> and the blood capsules for <em>Forgotten Sons<\/em> (during which he wielded the microphone stand as a rifle). By the end, recounts Diz, &#8220;We had about 400 people crammed into this tiny hall. You couldn&#8217;t physically move!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Everyone that attended Marillion&#8217;s <em>Friars<\/em> debut recognised, they had witnessed something special. &#8220;It was a bloody amazing gig,&#8221; remarks Priv. &#8220;One of those things where you didn&#8217;t realise, how important it was, until afterwards. More people came to see us than to see the gig in the main hall!&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t need a rocket scientist to work out why Marillion was invited back. Before long, the band had moved up the rankings, playing support to a number of acts (including virtuoso blues-guitarist Rory Gallagher) before becoming a regular headliner at the venue. Not only did this lead to even bigger gigs elsewhere, but the media was starting to pay attention to the band&#8217;s steady progress.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At this gig, Marillion learned, that supporting foreign bands was indeed different than doing just a &#8220;local gig&#8221;. They were scheduled for half an hour soundcheck before the doors opened, but they ended up soundchecking for the first 15 minutes of their on-stage time, after which they could start their gig. However, neither Marillion nor David Stopps, the manager of <em>Friars Earth Enterprises<\/em>, lost faith in each other due to that experience, he would continue to book Marillion at <em>Friars<\/em>.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211;

Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Margaret<\/em> was premiered at this gig, and yet another night in Milton Keynes was celebrated in style. A funny thing about <em>Margaret<\/em> is, it was actually &#8220;written&#8221; long before Fish and Diz joined the band. It has been performed as an instrumental piece when Mick, Steve and Brian gigged with Doug Irvine. Speaking about their adoption of the track, Mick Pointer explained in an interview: &#8220;The old keyboard player, Brian Jelleyman he&#8230; we were just playing around in the studio one day, and he started to play just the, eh, what was the name of the riff? &#8211; <em>Scotland The Brave<\/em> &#8211; and everybody started jamming around it. Steve, the guitarist, started just adding a few more riffs and other few jigs, and it just built on and built on from there, and it&#8217;s really, like a large jam. It has gone a little bit more organised now, and Fish added lyrics, well not original lyrics, but that&#8217;s what he&#8217;s got&#8230; It&#8217;s just a large jam&#8230; if the audiences enjoy it, we will keep it going, and keep it going, and keep it going. If not, we sense it and of course we stop it quite early. So really that&#8217;s the history of the track, it&#8217;s just a jam, it was just started as a jam, and that&#8217;s how it is now.&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Interview with Marillion &#8211; Radio Fourth &#8211; 12.04.1982)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"toggle2 lineup\">\n<li>\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">Line-up<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMick Pointer &#8211; Drums<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBrian Jelleyman &#8211; Keyboards<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSteve Rothery &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFish &#8211; Vocals<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiz Minnitt &#8211; Bass\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"toggle1\">\n<li class=\"mar1\">\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">09.09.1981 &#8211; The Brittania, Aylesbury<span class=\"flagSetlist\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flag\" title=\"England\" alt=\"flag\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"margin-top: -3px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flags\/England.png\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSetlist unknown<\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-description\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> This show is confirmed by Diz Minnitt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"toggle2 lineup\">\n<li>\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">Line-up<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMick Pointer &#8211; Drums<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBrian Jelleyman &#8211; Keyboards<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSteve Rothery &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFish &#8211; Vocals<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiz Minnitt &#8211; Bass\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"toggle1\">\n<li class=\"mar1\">\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">14.09.1981 &#8211; City Hall, St. Albans<span class=\"flagSetlist\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"flag\" title=\"England\" alt=\"flag\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"margin-top: -3px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/Flags\/England.png\" \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t01 Charting The Single<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t02 He Knows You Know<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t03 Garden Party<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t04 Forgotten Sons<\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-description heading\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-camera\"><\/i> Diz Minnitt&#8217;s <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Backstage Pass - St. Albans - 14.09.1981.jpg\" title=\"Diz Minnitt's Backstage Pass: St. Albans - 14.09.1981\">Backstage Pass<\/a>, provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/Marillion\/setlists\/markos-marillion-museum\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marko&#8217;s Marillion Museum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-camera\"><\/i> <a class=\"openfancybox-image\" href=\"\/Marillion\/setlists\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/Marillion - Ticket - St. Albans - 14.09.1981.jpg\" title=\"Ticket: St. Albans - 14.09.1981\">Ticket<\/a> &#8211; Thanks to Diz Minnitt and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morain.de\/Marillion\/setlists\/markos-marillion-museum\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marko\u2019s Marillion Museum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-plus-squared\"><\/i> Support Bands: As Above So Below<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-plus-squared\"><\/i> Supporting: Budgie<\/li>\n<li class=\"mar2\"><i class=\"icon-info-circled\"><\/i> Setlist by Mike Eldon<\/li>\n<li>&quot;My first time to see the band, albeit very briefly sandwiched in between the two other bands.

Brian eventually wangled me a job in his office, and I had to sign on a lot of young guys who&#8217;d been laid off in the local factories. Many of them intended to join the army, whose career office offered a far different perception of military service than the one I was aware of through my cousin&#8217;s experience. He&#8217;d been a career soldier and had served in the province. On his last tour of duty he&#8217;d been hurt in a riot and news of his plight was difficult to extract from the army. As we&#8217;d watched TV, it seemed that the Irish situation had lowered in the agenda of the media, and the deaths of soldiers and civilians there didn&#8217;t appear to be dealt with the gravity and respect they deserved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I can remember writing the &#8220;prayer&#8221; section coming down from an acid trip, sitting in the sunshine outside a damp, dank rehearsal room as the band assembled the music that swelled through the open door. There was a dark power trapped in the song that visited us again while recording the track for the album in the Marquee Studios. As we multi-tracked the voices giving us the immense monk like chant, the booth which was buried in the cellars of the Marquee offices went icy cold and a tangible presence entered the room. Everyone freaked and something happened to the tape, which now contained noises other than those recorded. The Marquee Studios are built on top of an old plague pit where hundreds of bodies are supposedly buried. It took me a while to go back into the booth. But we were a long way from an album.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Fish: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160807044111\/fish-thecompany.com\/email\/stsfajt.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sleeve Notes<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/Marillion-Script-For-A-Jesters-Tear\/release\/6000835\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Script For A Jester&#8217;s Tear &#8211;

you&#8217;d stick to the floor!&#8221; recalls Steve. Supporting US glam-rock outfit <em>Girl<\/em>, the band had left nothing to chance and, in now-habitual style, had booked a coach from Aylesbury for its growing entourage. The result, according to a gig review in <em>Sounds<\/em>, was to &#8220;give <em>Aerosmith<\/em> rip-off merchants a bit of a scare &#8211; it&#8217;s not often, a support act gets an encore at the Marquee.&#8221; Fortunately, as Fish was later to say, &#8220;<em>Girl<\/em> had a good attitude about it, they gave us congratulations afterwards.&#8221; The <em>Sounds<\/em> review also gives us an insight into the more devoted elements of the early fan base, which it described as &#8220;rather a large contingent of ageing hippy &#8216;eadbangers.

Steve and I enjoyed a number of these. Unfortunately they had failed to mention the full ingredients and so by the time we started to play we were very, very chilled out (and just a tad hungry), so the gig was somewhat more laid back for some of the higher energy numbers. This became most obvious when Steve started the intro to <em>Charting The Single<\/em> at half speed. Despite vociferous encouragement, Steve clearly felt it was possibly going too fast as it was, thank you very much, and it slumbered along at a gentle pace. So if anyone has a bootleg and thinks that there was a problem with the recording, it really was that speed.&quot;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Diz Minnitt @ Facebook &#8211; 26.11.2020)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&quot;I remember seeing Marillion at least twice at the <em>Horse and Groom<\/em> in Bedford, and <em>Solstice<\/em> too. A guy I used to hang around with, promoted most of the bands at the venue (a hall at the back of the aforementioned pub). I was roped in to do the lighting on one of these two (three) gigs, which, like the sound, was in house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It was a very basic set up back then, so an idiot like me was more than capable of adding effect to the visual experience of a live band. I was a fan of <em>Genesis<\/em>, so Marillion were on my radar anyway, if not for the media comparisons. One memory I have is of Fish, wearing his monks type cassock, wandering off the stage and meandering through the audience, gesticulating in his usual manner, microphone in hand. On his return to the stage, an audience member shouted out loudly &#8220;&#8230;hey, someone&#8217;s nicked my wallet&#8221; which was met with peals of laughter, but with obvious annoyance by Fish himself.

Two had the same name on because one had a crack in from being struck by lightning in whatever <em>Hammer House of Horror<\/em> film it was used in. Those 2 had arched tops. Can&#8217;t recall the name. The other two were made from wood that had then been plastered and painted grey. The more we used them [on stage] the more they fell apart, hence I suspect why we decided to get rid of them. We used to have a six-foot black cross as well, which originally came with a hook, so it could be hung upside down. Then of course there was the (plastic) rubber plant that fish dismembered every show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We had other &#8220;special effects&#8221; that we never used. A lever for the lightning scene out of one of the <em>Frankenstein<\/em> films, and also a large electrical device (which was effectively two squash bottles cut in half and the top halves stuck end to end).

poster. It was not quite as glamorous as the name would suggest. &#8220;We used to chuck everything in the back of the van and go off somewhere and play,&#8221; recalls Mick. The first &#8220;official&#8221; date (Marillion had already played 15 times in October) was at the Red Lion in Gravesend on 01.11.1981 and 20 further dates were played. However, Brian Jelleyman would not survive to the end of the tour.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Although handy with the keys to the others, it was apparent, that Brian&#8217;s heart and soul were not into the band. Explains Guy Hewison &#8220;Brian didn&#8217;t feel that he could give up his job.&#8221; &#8220;I never really put the practice in,&#8221; says Brian, &#8220;I can understand the frustration, Fish and the others felt at this time. I knew, my attitude wasn&#8217;t right. I knew, the band was destined for success, but I couldn&#8217;t become what was needed. Everyone needed to be as totally dedicated to the band as Fish was, and I wasn&#8217;t.&#8221; Brian carried on, hoping things would sort themselves out, while (largely encouraged by Fish) the other members of the band agreed to keep their eyes open for a potential replacement.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211;

I had a number of confrontations about his commitment to the band. During one of our East London voyages we were supported by a local band called <em>Chemical Alice<\/em> who had in their number an incredibly talented and good-looking keyboard player who was pointed out to me by Mick. We&#8217;d all decided Brian was out, and an approach was made on the quiet, resulting in the keyboard player meeting us pre-gig in Chesham a few nights later. Mark Kelly was in, Brian was out.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Fish: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160807044111\/fish-thecompany.com\/email\/stsfajt.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sleeve Notes<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/de\/Marillion-Script-For-A-Jesters-Tear\/release\/6000835\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Script For A Jester&#8217;s Tear &#8211; Remaster 1997<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Without telling Brian (though &#8220;it didn&#8217;t come as a total surprise,&#8221; says Brain), Mark was invited to attend Marillion&#8217;s 69th gig at Chesham&#8217;s Elgiva Hall, a performance held in aid of <em>Amnesty International<\/em>.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Jon Collins: <a target=\"_blanck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marillion-Separated-Complete-History-1979-2002\/dp\/1900924498\" title=\"Jon Collins - Marillion\/Separated Out - The Complete History 1979-2002\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; Chapter Two, 1977-1981<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mick: &#8220;We organised a secret meeting with Mark Kelly, and he had to make his way all the way across London. I think we organised the meeting somewhere in a hall in Chesham. I remember picking him up from Chesham station, he came with his girlfriend. I remember picking him up and giving him the gig there and then. I remember doing all the driving, cause I was the only person with a car. It was my car, I was the only one with a working car at that time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mark: &#8220;He knew something was wrong as soon as he saw me at Chesham. He recognised me and knew that something was going on. I was trying to keep out of the way, cause they had said: &#8220;Come and join the band, we&#8217;re going to sack Brian&#8221;, or Fish was saying all this. I&#8217;m like: &#8220;Well, I don&#8217;t know, really, because I&#8217;m at college&#8221;, and he&#8217;s going: &#8220;Oh, you gonna have to move to Aylesbury&#8221;. I&#8217;m thinking: &#8220;Great, I&#8217;d love to play in the band, but I don&#8217;t know if I can quit college just like that&#8221;. So I said: &#8220;Well, I&#8217;ll think about it&#8221;, and he said: &#8220;Well, come and see us play again to help make your mind up&#8221;. So I did, and as soon as Brian saw me, I think he just knew why I was there. And after the show I went back to Fish&#8217;s house, where him and Guy, who was the driver and did the lights and stuff, were living. We just stayed up all night listening to music and talking, and then the next morning Fish called everybody and got them round to the house, and said: &#8220;Right, we&#8217;re gonna go and sack Brian&#8221;.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Brian comments, &#8220;I was a bit upset at first, but we parted company as friends. Once it was over, it was quite a relief! Mark had been waiting in the wings and, to be fair, did a much better job.&#8221; Mark joined the band a week later on 27th November 1981, the day before Marillion played Aston Village Hall as a four-piece without the new, as-yet-unrehearsed player. There was to be no easy ride for Mark, Steve went to pick him up on 28th November in Romford, following which he spent a few days at <em>Leyland Farm<\/em> in intensive rehearsals, before playing his first gig at the Great Northern in Cambridge on 1st December 1981. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know any of the songs. <em>Grendel<\/em> was the main one.

Mark: &#8220;Well that mellotron, it&#8217;s a shame we sold it, really! I inherited Brian&#8217;s old mellotron, cause the band owned it, really. Brian had an Oberheim OBA and a CAP synthesizer, and I had a Farfisa Organ and a Yamaha synthesizer, like a lead synth, and the mellotron belonged to Marillion. So when Brian went, he took his keyboards but left the mellotron. I remember, it must have gone wrong or died or something, cause we ended up buying another one in the early days, which was quite a nice one, which we then sold once we got the deal with EMI, and we had some money to get some new gear, we got rid of the old mellotron, which is a shame.&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Marillion\/Separated Out &#8211; The Complete History 1979-2002<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mark&#8217;s welcome included the lack of warmth offered by the cottage in Aston Clinton with Fish and Guy: Steve, Diz and Privet had already left for better accommodation at Ingram Avenue in Aylesbury. &#8220;The shampoo used to freeze in the bottle,&#8221; says Mark.

And we had about 450 people in the hall, and I reckon that maybe 120 had come only to see us!

The track entitled <em>Madcap&#8217;s Embrace<\/em> was to be performed live for the very last time on this evening. <em>Three Boats Down From The Candy<\/em> may have been well received, as it was to become a regular in the set for the next year and a half. <em>The Institution Waltz<\/em> was written with Mark Kelly just prior to this gig. <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Fish: &#8220;The Institution Waltz was just that whole psychedelic period, when I first moved down to England, it just really makes me think of 1981, when I first joined the band. I mean, it&#8217;s <em>Pink Floyd<\/em>, <em>Ummagumma<\/em>, it&#8217;s <em>Grantchester Meadows<\/em>, it&#8217;s dropping acid, and you know, it&#8217;s just one of these songs. We didn&#8217;t really play it that much. I think we only played it about 30 times, and that was it. I can&#8217;t even remember seeing a demo tape, I don&#8217;t think it was even demoed.&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"recite\">(Claus Nygaard: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090415060940if_\/http:\/\/www.marillion.rocks.it:80\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In Shades Of Green Through Shades Of Blue &#8211; The Story of Marillion with Fish<\/a>)<\/span><\/div>\n<ul class=\"toggle2 lineup\">\n<li>\n<h4 class=\"tgg-title\">Line-up<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tgg-content\" style=\"display: none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMick Pointer &#8211; Drums<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSteve Rothery &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFish &#8211; Vocals<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiz Minnitt &#8211; Bass<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMark Kelly &#8211; Keyboards\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"pullquote left\" style=\"margin-top:30px; width:100%\">&#8220;Mark&#8217;s arrival made everyone aware of the limitations of the others,&#8221; remarks Fish.
