No, it certainly isn't quite Christmas yet, but it certainly feels that
way - thanks to everyone who has already visited our auctions on Ebay to
Benefit the Hurricane Katrina relief fund and your outstanding
generosity.
We've just added a load more items, but this will be the last lot, so if
you're interested in picking up a piece of Marillion history, head over to:

Now that the loft is cleared out, we've been able to make room to start
setting up for rehearsals for the 'Not Quite Christmas Tour' this November
and December. We've decided to go back once again to the Aylesbury Civic for
a warm-up show before starting the tour proper. Tickets for all shows, and
the full list of dates (including a visit to Luxembourg for the first time
in 8 years!) are all available at www.marillion.com/tour
And this Friday we'll be celebrating Christmas early as we take the cover
photo for out annual Web Christmas CD - this year's offering is a special
live acoustic radio session of 'Los Trios Marillos' recorded at the XM Radio
studio in Washington, DC this past June; PLUS our own seasonal re-recording
of Marbles I to IV. All current Web fan club members will get this CD for
free later this year - for more details of how to join The Web in your
country, and more information about the Web Christmas CDs visit
