| Marillion eWeb Newsletter : Easter, Here Again... |
| Hello and Happiness, |
| Just a quick "heads up" from the singer as we've noticed that our
eWebs tend to get a little orientated too much in the "give us your
money" area and not enough in the "we're alright - how are y'all?" area.
Well we ARE alright. We've been busy since the beginning of '06
jamming in the studio and trying to write some new music with the
intention of being ready to release our next album (14!) early next
year. |
| The elves in the back room can be heard hammering, sawing and
generally toiling on a mission to put together the next Convention at
Center Parcs, Port Zeeland in Holland next February. Although it's a
long way into the future, there's much preparation to do here. They
also told me that it's selling out fast and some important updates
have just been made to the website, so please check them out at
www.marillionweekend.com |
| Perhaps we should start a new company called Racket Travel Agents. We
seem to have gained the necessary expertise, so do call us if you
need a skiing holiday in Verbier or want to cruise the Indian Ocean.
I'll be ship's doctor and God help you. |
| In the studio, the band can be heard muttering in between loud busts
of chaos as we attempt to distill music and words from the ether.
Michael Hunter is now in the Producer's chair adding his inimitable
Liverpudlian dimension to everything. The process has so far been
painless and uplifting (I hate writing, so this is quite something
for me to say). It's still too early to give you any fine detail as I
haven't really got any to give. The boys in the band are feeling good
about it though and, as it comes together, we'll try to make regular
monthly reports to you. |
| Writing a song is like playing a movie backwards of a planet exploding.
It starts with a lot of very fine particles a long, long way from each
other which slowly (almost imperceptibly, in our case) get bigger and
closer until, at the very last moment, are sucked at colossal speed
into existing as a single solid living thing. Is this making sense to
anyone except me? I often have this feeling and ask this question.
If you don't understand me then there's obviously something wrong with
you and you should see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. |
| In between all this I have been "moonlighting" at weekends playing "h
natural" shows (just me and a piano). Big thanks to all who came to
these and contributed to the magic (see the h guestbook at
www.stevehogarth.com for the vibe). I still have another handful in the
offing in Dublin (Apr 29), Warsaw (June 11) and Lille (June 17), so
perhaps I might see you soon.. |
| There's also a possibility of Marillion playing a single FREE
festival in Poland in the summer. More news of that as soon as we
have it.. |
| Talk to you soon.. |
Love and handstands
