on Tuesday 17th April. The event starts at 19:00pm.
Marillion have released 18 albums over 38 years. Known for continually defying expectation (the band were early pioneers of album crowdfunding) Marillion deliver “a beautiful, distinctive sound” (Progradar) that is hard to define. Marrying experimental rock with “politically-charged lyrics …and rich, layered instrumentation” (The Guardian), Marillion has been likened to Pink Floyd, late-period Talk Talk and Van der Graaf Generator. Far from slowing down, these unsung heroes of British rock “remain truly at the top of the prog game” (echoes and dust) and their latest album has been named their finest release in 20 years.
