Marillion are one of the UK music scene's best kept secrets; purveyors of soulful, powerful, and often deeply-moving music, whose blistering live shows leave their audiences breathless.

When Fish, Marillion's original lead singer, left the band in 1988 after four albums he was replaced by the charismatic Steve Hogarth.

Predictions of doom were swiftly dispelled, as across a further NINE albums, Hogarth - along with existing members Steve Rothery (guitar), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass), and Ian Mosley (drums) - reinvigorated and constantly redefined Marillion's sound. They forged into new musical territories with a succession of inventive, emotional albums, displaying little regard to the vagaries of The Musical Fashion Police, or the bandwagoneering of radio playlists.
career.

Thanks to their pioneering embrace of the Internet, Marillion have developed a unique and intimate relationship with their fans. From sponsoring entire tours of the USA to funding the recording of recent albums, Marillion's global fan-base is unique in its affection and dedication.

As a result, such passionate, wholesale support has allowed Marillion to step outside of the conventional music industry and find their own path.
