Years ago, in the 90's, I was driving home and there was an announcement that Fish would be playing at a local pub. I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and apartheid had just ended. We were starved of international acts, and very few local people knew who Marillion was. Even though I thought I had misheard, a friend of mine and I went down to the pub and bought a drink. The band playing was a local band, and there were no signs advertising a massive star was playing that night, so we thought I'd heard wrong, but decided to finish our drinks. We got chatting to a couple of Scottish guys sharing our table - they wanted to know all the essential tourist venues in Cape Town. After about forty minutes, they stood up and said "well, got to go sing for our supper". That's when I realised we'd been talking to Fish and his guitarist. There were about 200 people, maximum, in Bertie's Landing, and we heard Fish sing all the great Marillion songs. My friend and I could not believe our luck.

This is a nice story. Thank you. I grew up in East Germany. In 1988 Marillion was there for the first time and I couldn't see them. I was in Berlin, but with the Army and was not allowed to see it. I never was at a Fish gig. But Marillion with Hogarth sometimes. I´m at Marillion Fanclub Germany and I´m looking forward to the new, last Fish Album.
