    Marillion/Separated Out – The Complete History 1979-2002

    Marillion’s first date of 1982 was back at the Marquee, supporting a band called Spider. This had two impacts, not least the fact that Nigel Hutchings, the manager of the Marquee, was so impressed, that he offered Marillion a headline on the 25th of the same month. “Word spread quite quickly, before long we were packing it out,” says Mick. More exciting still was the presence, unbeknown by the band, of Tony Wilson, who was producer of the BBC’s Radio 1 Friday Rock Show at the time. According to Mark, “Spider‘s manager was a girl called Maggie Farren, Tony Wilsons’s girlfriend.” A fortunate coincidence indeed, leading directly to the offer of a slot on the show.

    • "The Green Man Pub in Leytonstone. Following my first experience of Marillion at Friars, this was my next chance to see the band as they travelled to east London in December 1981. Turned out to be my most surreal Marillion gig ever. That evening it was snowing quite heavily. I drove myself and a friend to Leytonstone, slipping & sliding the whole way. Ended up with four of us in the audience watching five guys in the band! Understandably, they just used the evening as a bit of a jam session."

    Marillion/Separated Out – The Complete History 1979-2002

    After Marillion’s first Marquee headline (25.01.1982), the band was invited to the BBC Studios at Delaware Road, London to record a session for Tommy Vance’s show. The recording took place with Tony Wilson at the production helm, to capture old favorite The Web, as well as two newer tracks – Three Boats Down From The Candy and Forgotten Sons. The broadcast was made a month later on 26.02.1982, a significant event, in that marillion’s trademark sound had: for the first time, left the Thames Valley and reached the furthest points of the United Kingdom. It also proved to be Diz’ last recording, though he didn’t know at the time.

    In February 1982 the first issue of Marillion’s official fanzine The Web was released. Written by Tim Hollings, its first words were, “Hi, this newsletter is designed as a means of expression for both the band and you, the people, who have supported Marillion in the past and, we hope, the future.” Little did anyone know at this stage, that this means of expression would still be published 20 years later! The Web proved its value very early on, as a request in an early edition encouraged fans to request the Friday Rock Show session again. The BBC were inundated with requests, leading to a repeat of the session in May “by popular demand”. As the popularity continued to grow, Mick’s girlfriend Stef Jeffries was brought in to help Tim write the fanzine.

    In Session Tonight – The Complete Radio 1 Recordings

    Fish: "We were playing small clubs everywhere in summer 1981, and then did our first date at the Marquee in October. About the same time we tried Tony Wilson out with a couple of tapes, and then he came down to a gig, and the session was on. You had to be fully rehearsed to do those sessions, there wasn’t time to mess about, and I think that’s very good for encouraging professionalism in bands. I remember getting lost with all the FX we could get on the vocals.

    The broadcast itself was one of the key career moments for the band: basically, we were able to turn professional in March, and headlined a tour in Scotland on the strength of the session shortly afterwards. We weren’t signed to EMI until September that year, and until then, having done the radio session was a major feather in our cap, in promoting the fact that there was a definite buzz about the band."

    • January 1982: Photo Session for Sounds by Justin Thomas
    • “It was a cold, wet afternoon in January. I’d just done a photo session with Marillion in Trafalgar Square, which was for Sounds, and we’d popped into the old Joe Lyons coffee shop to dry off. I asked a couple of passing waitresses if they could drape themselves around the made-up Fish while I photographed him. Laughing, the girls asked whether “the guy” was famous or just some sort of clown. To be fair, Fish wasn’t all that comfortable with the shot. But Marillion were a great bunch of guys to work with, always professional, eager to please and full of enthusiasm. Which are qualities that helped to eventually bring them their deserved success.”

    "OK – I’m going to tell you a story how it all started for me!

    One Friday in February 1982 myself and my ex-girlfriend set off for Paris, on a charity hitch-hike as part of Loughborough University Rag Week. We very quickly got to Scratchwood Services on the M1, but then got stuck. We stood on the exit slip road for almost two hours before a tatty old blue ex-laundry van drove past, then reversed down the hard shoulder to offer us a lift. We nearly said no, as the van had only one seat – the driver’s – and there were five or six scruffy long-haired blokes and a couple of girlfriends scattered around perched on round boxes and flight cases. However, after nearly two hours standing in the p***ing rain and cold, watching nice big comfortable luxury cars go flashing by with just a suited driver inside, I persuaded my very posh partner to get in – at least it was dry!

    Within minutes of the journey, we arrived at a roundabout (the northern part of the M25 didn’t exist then), with a Police car waiting at the next exit for us to go past. The driver immediately shouted an instruction for us all to hit the deck, and I remember being grabbed by the scruff and pushed down onto the floor! After that initial scare, the folks inside introduced themselves as a rock band from Aylesbury (my home town, as it happens) called Marillion!

    Although I was a huge rock music fan (from Status Quo as a teenager to The Stranglers – to Deep Purple and Pink Floyd at that time), like most people in early 1982, I had never heard of them. The van had no music, so they couldn’t play anything, but one of the band members (I think it might actually have been Fish) very kindly gave me the three-track cassette that I still treasure today.

    I remember taking a detour to drop Fish off at Cricklewood Tube station, as he had a meeting with either a record producer or a broadcaster. We then continued to their destination in Romford, but I don’t remember too much about the conversation except for an invite backstage at Friars Aylesbury (which I duly took advantage of and have even less memory of, due to the quantity of free booze on offer!)

    So that’s how my lifelong interest in Marillion (Fish era) started, and those first four albums are still my favourites of all time (I also really like The Thieving Magpie). As an aside, a year or so later I worked in a camera shop in Aylesbury and sold Steve Rothery a camera, as well as taking in all his films for processing on a regular basis. He is a really good photographer too!

    PS. I know Fish doesn’t remember this, but I’ve often wondered if anyone else in that old van does?"

    Fish

    “Chelsea Monday was written roundabout January or February this year. The lyric idea was spun by seeing a number of people walking about Chelsea on a very, very early Monday morning. And it was this sort of actors that you don’t know their names. And they were going down buying the morning Daily Expresses, it was a ritual, and they were looking at themselves in the window, as if to buy the paper was actually a take, it was part of some formal play they were in.

    It was also about young ladies, who often, sort of like me, live in their bedsit apartments, and they’ve got their Marks & Spencer’s duvets and their collections of books and things. We put the two ideas together and confirmed that with the dreamers that you often get down in London that think that the paths are actually paved with gold. And we came up with this, again typical Marillion depressive vibe thing, where you’ve got the girl in the bedsit. She’d love to be an actress, but she’s never got the guts to sort of make that jump from standard 9-5 into the great big world of entertainment industry. And rather than face the prospect of failure, she decides that she’s going to commit suicide and go out in a blaze of fame. It’s one of those nice, sad, depressing vibes.”
    (Fish @ Radio Forth, 14.09.1982)

    Jason Hook

    I was also in a band myself, named MPH. We were a local rock act with a mixture of self penned songs and covers in our repertoire. We had a small following locally, which led to the local SU promoter asking us to support the then up & coming Marillion at the teacher’s training college in Bedford. This was a much larger venue which had hosted a few “named” bands over the years. We obviously jumped at the chance.

    My endearing memory of this gig was turning up at the college mid-afternoon in my Mum’s Volvo, with our drummers kit thrown in the back. Upon arrival, we were met outside the hall by a tall geezer with a Scottish accent who was having a crafty smoke I seem to recall. His first words to us were to offer to help carry the drum kit in through the side doors… it then dawned on me. It was Derek Dick himself, shorn of the makeup and stage outfit I’d only ever seen him in previously. Marillion were making headway in the media by this time, so it was a well attended gig, and I think I’m correct in saying shortly after this, Fish appeared in full face paint on the front cover of Sounds.

    Another memory from this gig was the sound check. Our drummer was well known locally for his proficiency on the skins, and he had the cheek to ask if he could have a blast on Mick Pointer’s sizeable kit. The sound guys/road crew allowed him a bash, only for him to leave them gobsmacked by his natural ability. He was a showman, to be fair.

    That was the last I saw of Marillion in intimate venues. The next time I saw them, they were on a huge stage at Reading. Script is my favourite Marillion album, and the songs from those early days still resonate with me today."

    Marillion/Separated Out – The Complete History 1979-2002

    By March 1982 it was time for a second twist of the knives: it was Fish’s long-time friend, Diz, who would meet the sharp end. “We couldn’t have a band with passengers,” explains Fish. “The band had come to me and said, he wasn’t good enough. I couldn’t argue my corner, I don’t think, the band would have happened like it did with Diz still in it. That was a tough for me, he was one of my best friends.”

    Meanwhile, not so much passenger but driver, Guy was realising, that his own time with the band had reached the end of the road. “With the numbers of gigs, I was finding it more and more difficult to get time off,” explains Guy. “Besides, once the band had found an agent (and then a manager), I was becoming more and more sidelined.” And that was that for Guy, well almost: he went on to perform a similar role for Andy Glass’s band Solstice.

    Fish had heard about a “pop” band called The Metros, who were on their last legs, but who also had a pretty good bassist. He turned up at a Metros gig at The Kings Head in Aylesbury – in fact a leaving party for the bar staff, before the place shut down for refurbishment. To quote then-bassist for The Metros Pete Trewavas, “There was quite a big occasion being made of it, we did a whole evening of rock and roll, which seemed to go down quite well!” The stout Scot chattered to the diminutive bassist about Marillion’s predicament. Fish played his cards quite close to the chest, explains Pete, “He told me, that they’d held some auditions, but he wasn’t sure, how it was going to go. They had a tour coming up, and he was asking me if I knew of anyone.” Pete, who had already seen Marillion play, quite fancied the job for himself. “I’d been into pop and new wave as that’s where the work was, but Marillion were very different!” Despite being unsure, if he would be taken seriously (or if Marillion would be taken seriously, as he remarks, “I wasn’t sure, there was room for it in this days and age!”), Pete asked for an audition. “I felt they were going places, just purely because of the way they acted and put themselves across,” says Pete.

    Whilst Diz holidayed with Helen, Pete was secretly auditioned in the garage at the back of Victoria Street. The audition was a bit uncomfortable – remembers Pete, “I had very short, slightly red hair at the time and was wearing white trainers, which was a bit of a no-no! They asked me what music I was into, I told them, that I’d been listening to Haircut 100 and their eyes got wider and wider! If I’d said, that I had a load of Caravan, Pink Floyd and Genesis in my collection, maybe they would have taken me a bit more seriously…”

    Pete pressed on regardless, plugged in (he recalls being told, “You can use Diz’ amp, he won’t mind”) and started tuning up. “We were so impressed by his tuning up, that we gave him the gig there and then!” remembers Mark. Nearly true – the boys had one more person to see, but Pete was pretty much in. The decision was made in a well-concealed pub at the end of an alley off Market Square, known as The Dark Latern. “We decided to go to a pub, we’d never been before, so we wouldn’t meet anyone we knew,” recalls Mark. Ironically, it was here, that he bumped into Suzy Coleman, who would become his future (ex-)wife. “She came over, ‘cos she recognised Fish,” says Mark.

    Script For A Jester’s Tear (Remaster 1997) – Sleeve Notes

    The next weak link was Diz, whose bass playing was becoming suspect mainly due to Mark’s contribution, raising the overall standard. As the shadow loomed over him, I’d come across Pete Trewavas. Although I knew him from the local music scene in Aylesbury where he’d been the bass player with the Metros, a relatively high profile pop band (which included Robin Boult in its line-up). I’d never seen him play until one night in a local pub in March at a benefit gig, and I was immediately impressed by the bubbly, outgoing bassist, who proved he was a lot more than a good-looking pop musician. He came along for a rehearsal in the garage behind the house in Victoria Street where I now stayed, ironically with Diz.

    It was all over, and I was reluctant to fire my best friend at the time and a guy without whom I wouldn’t have even met the band – but the unit had to come first. It was left to me to deliver the news before a show at the Starting Gate, Milton Keynes, one of our strongholds. Needless to say, a four piece played that night and next day rehearsals began with Pete for the forthcoming Scottish tour, a 29 date extravaganza that would mark the band finally turning fully professional.
    (Fish: Sleeve Notes in Script For A Jester’s Tear – Remaster 1997)

    Marillion/Separated Out – The Complete History 1979-2002

    The axe fell at what was reputed to be the band’s 100th gig: 26.03.1982 at the Starting Gate, Milton Keynes. Unbeknown to Diz, the band had invited another bassist (according to Diz, from a Saxon-like band in Northampton) along to the gig, so he could check them out. Diz got wind of things and asked Steve Rothery, what was going on – before long it had all come out. Fish broke it relatively gently, but Diz did not take the news well. “Fish said, “you can hit me if you like,”” says Diz. “I was devastated, but having been involved in Brian’s departure, I couldn’t say I had no blood on my hands. As an observer, I can see, why they did it. My standard of musicianship and my style did not fit with the others, but I’d poured all my energy into it, emotionally and physically.” Asking the others to ensure his equipment was returned (it was already on stage), Diz went home [10 min.] before the performance. The remaining four managed to cover for the missing bass line, coping admirably for a one-off.

    Back home, other loose ends had to be tied up, including the fact, that Fish, Mark and Privet shared with Diz and Helen at the time. Priv stayed on, “I was still there even after 1983, when we went to America for the first time!” he laughs, but before long Mark and Fish moved out to Rothers’ place at Ingram Avenue, Aylesbury. Steve describes it as, “A semi-detached house on quite a nice estate. The locals saw it as some sort of hippie commune.

    The worst was yet to come for Diz, when he found himself written out of history, 1984-style. He never claimed to be the artistic key player of the band, but when he found, that his contribution was to be annulled (not to mention his take on any rewards for it), it was more than he could bear. “Fish told me, they’d rewritten the bass tracks with Pete, and I wasn’t going to get anything. Having known, I did contribute to various tracks, I felt totally abused, my trust was violated completely. That was the bit, I found, by far the hardest.” It would be four years before an out-of-court settlement later recognised both Diz and Brian’s input. “The driving force was never financial, it was to get a co-writing credit,” says Diz, “They said, I was there as a passenger, that always galled me!”

    Marillion/Separated Out – The Complete History 1979-2002

    On 22nd April (1982), at the Inverness Ice Rink, Marillion met a young fan called Avril Mackintosh. “I’d won a competition on the Tony Ferry show on Radio Scotland,” says Avril. “The boys were really friendly, but Fish was a bit funny.” Avril took the opportunity to seek some advice from Mr. Hedge (who was on no mean learning curve of his own). “I went to Priv and asked, how do I become a sound engineer?” recounts Avril. Whatever he said, it triggered the first step of a journey that let to Advision Studios, six years later, where Avril assisted the mixing of Clutching At Straws. It’s a funny old world.

    Photo by Fish

    "As you know, I’ve been going through dusty boxes as I sort out the studio control room and I came across this photo from 1982. This was taken at the car park at South Queensferry overlooking the Forth Road Bridge. I reckon this was taken on 22nd April as we headed up North Scotland for the first time on our way to a gig at the Inverness Ice Centre.

    From left: Pete Trewavas, Chris "Privet" Hedge, slightly obscured by Sounds journalist Phil Bell who came out with us for a few days and who was an early champion of the band writing one of our first reviews in Sounds, Mark Kelly, a fan who’s name I forget but think it could have been Ian Bruce who helped us out as an unpaid "roadie", Mick Pointer and a distanced and seemingly disgruntled Steve Rothery.

    They look like a bunch of Fagin’s raggedy ass kids who’ve been promised an ice cream, but the van didn’t show up in the viewing car park that day. I’d booked the entire tour myself on the back of the Radio 1 Rockshow session, and this was to be about our 10th gig in less than salubrious venues. There were a lot more to go, and this would be the tour that "broke" us in Scotland. Going from this photo, you might assume "mentally broken". 🙂

    We met Avril Mackintosh for the first time at the Inverness show. It was the gig that inspired her into getting involved with the music business, and five years later she was in the studio with us mixing Clutching At Straws with Chris Kimsey."

    • "Your site (as does every other site I have seen) lists the gig on 30th April 1982 as being at Alloa Town Hall. This is incorrect. That is where the gig was *supposed* to be, and all the tour literature refers to it as being there, but it was moved to a local leisure centre, the Bowmar Centre. I believe this is because the gig was supposed to be with Pallas who were to go on last and who already had a sizeable following in the area, but they pulled out for some reason. I suspect the gig was moved because Marillion were an unknown quantity and Alloa Town Hall is quite large (know this because I was brought up about 2 miles away from Alloa). I was at the re-arranged gig (with about 50 others) so the decision to move was probably correct."

    As the band toured, it drew the attention of both local and national press. Not all reviews were favourable, for example the Mayfair in Glasgow (reputed to be the best night on the tour) was reviewed by Andrea Miller in Melody Maker, 26th June 1982. “The band sound like early Genesis without the wit… going on and on, they do about five numbers but make them last an hour.”

    Other reviews, though positive, demonstrated early signs of the potential for rifts within the band. Fiona Dempster wrote in Scottish newspaper Gaudie that Marillion’s support of Pallas at The Venue was “a shining performance – it would be difficult to say who was better.” Fiona went on to note how “The rest of the band took a back seat to Fish’s eccentric appearance. This is not to say that the others are not accomplished musicians – they just lack the charisma of Fish.”

Only to be told that the gig was actually to be at Newbiggin Village Hall, just outside of Penrith! Great gig it was too!
