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.

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."

- Review by Phil Hall
-
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 favourite 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.

- 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, aways professional, eager to please and full of enthusiasm. Which are qualities that helped to eventually bring them their deserved success.”

Info – Pete’s Audition (by Jon Collins)
-
By March 1982 it was time for a second twist of the knifes: 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.

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 [10min.] 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!”

On April 2 Marillion played the General Wolfe in Coventry, Pete’s first live date. It was also Priv’s first performance, as he recited the prayer in Forgotten Sons while Fish “mixed”. “He sat by the mixing desk drinking beer,” says Priv. “I was utter crap, the reviews were scathing!”

22.04.1982 – Ice Rink, Inverness
Setlist unknown-
On April 22, 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.

30.04.1982 – Bowmar Centre, Alloa
Setlist unknown- "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, June 26 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 Gaudia 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.”

08 Margaret- "The Marillion gig listed for 08.05.1982, states Newton Rigg Collage at Penrith, is not quite correct! That’s where the band thought it was going to be and turned up accordingly… as did we! Only to be told that the gig was actually to be at Newbiggin Village Hall, just outside of Penrith! Great gig it was too!
- A few days before the Penrith gig Marillion were supposed to play a gig at Micks Club in Carlisle (28.04.1982). Me and a mate turned up but the band never! Apparently their van broke down on the way from Edinburgh! The owner of Micks Club gave us our money back and vowed that he’d never help out struggling bands ever again! He was furious!!"

Somebody forgot to turn the telly off when Marillion played its first Manchester gig, at a venue called The Gallery. A fan called Simon wrote in The Web that Mark appeared “hesitant and nervous” – unsurprising as Clint Eastwood’s “High Plains Drifter” was showing above his head.

-
First to try on the shoes of manager was long-time friend and ally of the band David Stopps. Clearly experienced in running clubs such as Friars, David had frequently been approached by Fish to take on the role of Marillion’s band manager. “He was the big fish in a small pond,” remarks Fish. “I was very reluctant, but I could see they had potential, it was quite an honour to be asked,” adds David. “The band were quite organised, this was a train that was already moving, I was impressed with how the band (and in particular Fish) were getting things together. They had a loyal following and it was obvious it was growing!”
By the end of May 1982, David finally gave in and immediately got to work. He contacted 15 recording companies and sent them copies of the demo recording, posted out numerous press kits, fixed meetings with agencies and generally put his back into the thing. He also offered to put in some money to buy a PA, rental of which was a major expense for the band.
Unsurprisingly, success wasn’t handed on a plate. Most labels returned the requisite rejection letters, but one did not: EMI (in the shape of Ashleigh Goodall, who had seen the band play at the Marquee at the beginning of July) agreed to let the band record a demo or two. Rumour has it that two A&R men at EMI drew lots for the privilege. Recounts Pete, “Ashleigh had just changed jobs, leaving Dave Ambrose and Hugh Stanley-Clarke. They tossed a coin and Hugh lost!” The demos were recorded at the end of July, in the basement of EMI’s Manchester Square studios. The selected songs were:
01 Market Square Heroes
02 He Knows You Know
03 Chelsea Monday“They were quite happy with the results though they would have liked more time,” Tim reported in The Web. Not quite true – according to Pete, “They weren’t very good!”
It was a very busy time for David, who was also seeing Friars grow from strengh to strengh. “I think Fish expected me to drop everything but I couldn’t,” he comments. With events like a 3.000 ticket gig at Stoke Mandeville stadium with The Clash, and a string of dates at Friars including gigs by The Police and Joe Jackson already in the pipeline, David could not give Marillion 100% of his time. “We had a lot going on. It was a very busy, magical time,” continues David. “My intention was to cut back on Friars and make a slow transition.” Maybe so; meanwhile there was an impetuous band gagging to take on the world and it didn’t want to hang around. Comments Fish, “We became concerned that we’d put on an anchor rather than wings.” Concurs Mark, “We panicked, we thought he was being too relaxed and we were getting nervous!”
Just five weeks after his recruitment, with plenty of regret on both sides, David was asked to give back his horsewhip. The spokesperson was, of course, Fish. “He came and saw me, he said he’d talked to the other guys and Marillion didn’t want me to be manager any more.” Following a heated debate (after all, David certainly hadn’t been idle during his tenure and, according to his notes, “A manager has to be able to manage, and not be a tea boy”), the relationship was over. “I was really annoyed that I’d been fired, as I knew I could do really well for them,” says David. “David was very upset,” recalls Mark. “He went on to manage Howard Jones. We thought it was to prove to us that he had the ability to break an act!” Not only had the band lost a good mate, but also a supportive promoter – it wasn’t until March of the following year that the band would play Friars again.

Info – John Arnison (by Jon Collins)

In stepped John Arnison, a young manager who had previously worked for Quarry Management. Quarry was based on Wardour Street, directly opposite the Marquee and John was a regular in the Marquee bar. “There was nothing quite like it, it was where all the agents and music company people used to hang out,” recalls John. A few months before, he had gone to the Marquee to meet with Sony about signing for John Cooper Clarke, when a new band happened to be taking the roof off the place. What most surprised him was the following: “These weren’t old Genesis fans, this was a new band with a new audience!” John stopped for a chat with Marillion’s press officer Keith Goodwin. Recalls John, “I said, listen, you know my numbers, any help or advice, give me a call.” And that was that, until a few weeks later. “There was a phone call from Fish, out of the blue. He said, ‘I understand you’d be interested in managing us, do you want to meet?'”
John met the band at the Prince Of Tech pub, on Earls Court Road in London. Laughs John, “They all got up and went to the loo together, but came back without having made a decision. I don’t know who wasn’t sure!”
John went home with low expectations. Having followed the band himself for some months, he had a good idea of where they could go and how he could get them there. “I liked the music first and foremost,” comments John. In addition he could bring to bear his many contacts with the Soho elite. The next day the call came through from Fish: “Congratulation, you’re Marillion’s manager – if you want to be of course!”
John’s impact was, according to Fish, “dramatic.” He was quick to pursue the relationship with EMI, first proposing new demos, so the band went to a house in Hayes, Middlesex, for another try. The second batch was still pretty mediocre – according to John, “They were made in a shed in the back garden, the band played live and nobody was producing them so it’s no wonder they weren’t very good!” An alternative plan was agreed with Hugh Stanley-Clarke – to pack out the Marquee and invite the senior executives to attend. “They’d already spent money on us so they came along,” remarks Pete. “They saw us at a packed venue and decided they’d be mad not to sign us.”
According to John Arnison, “Everything moved unbelievably fast from that point on.”
