------------------------------

Subject: 5.1  Why is Fish called Fish?

Contrary to the rock 'n' roll legend, Fish was not so called due to his
drinking exploits (though these were many), but to an old bedsit habit.
His aged landlady would only let him have one bath a week, so he would
make a night of it by taking in sweets, cigarettes, cans of beer, and a
good book.  There he would sit quite happily for most of the evening.
Many a time friends coming to see him would have to wait hours until he
emerged as the landlady wouldn't tell him anyone was there.

According to the book "Market Square Heroes":  "Fish, says Fish, suited
him because of the nickname the friend had bestowed after waiting nearly
two hours for him to finish having a bath, and because it was also the
off-stage nickname of Chris Squire, the bass player of Yes, who Fish says
he greatly admired, and not least because it was the name of the leader of
a gang of romantic street-smarts in a TV show from Derek's teenage years.

'It was for all those reasons.  I identified with all those characters in
my head, the partying musician, the leader of the outlaws, and the lazy
slob lying in the bath for hours keeping his bottom warm.'"--p100.

This is why his friends called him "Fish"!

------------------------------

Subject: 5.2  What's this talk about a new book called "The Masque"?

Mark Wilkinson and Fish at one point were planning to release an artbook
called "The Masque". The book was to include _all_ the cover art Mark
Wilkinson has done for Marillion and Fish with explanations by Fish
himself on how each piece relates to the lyrics.

The book has supposedly been ready now for many years, but due to various
problems it has not yet been published.  First there were legal issues
with Marillion about the royalties, Then they couldn't find a publisher. I
don't know what the latest excuse is, but it's definitely not for sale
yet. As soon as it is, you'll read about it on the Freaks mailinglist.

------------------------------

Subject: 5.3  What does Fish mumble at the end of Vigil?

This is very difficult to hear on the album, but it's easier to hear on
live versions of Vigil. He says:

  "And the boy stood, and stared at the Hill,
   And the Hill stared back..."

------------------------------

Subject: 5.4  Doesn't the guy on the Vigil foldout look like Mark Kelly?

Only if you have the first pressing ;-) Look real close (much better
visible on the LP cover) at the picture that's on the inside of the
booklet, and you'll see three men sitting around a fire. They're sitting
in the middle of a lot of garbage at the bottom of the Hill.  The one on
the left is Mark Kelly, the one on the right is John Arnison (the manager
of Marillion).

And there's more: the car on top of the Hill has a license plate that is
very similar to Mark Kelly's license plate at the time...

On the barrel on the left of the picture, the one with the toxic waste
dripping out, it says: "Welcome Skyline Drifters". This was the name
Marillion used on several gigs in the eighties. Notice the jester cap
hanging out of the barrel. Now look at the Seasons End cover.

On later pressings the faces were painted black.

------------------------------

Subject: 5.5  Who is "Speaking in Tongues" dedicated to and why?

Speaking in Tongues (from the album "Internal Exile") is 'dedicated' to
EMI, on which his first album "Vigil" was released. Fish was not at all
happy with EMI and wanted to change to another record label. So he changed
to Polydor and wrote this song to express his feelings about EMI. Polydor
was not happy with this, but they let him put it on the album anyway.

------------------------------

Subject: 5.6  Does Fish have net access?

No. Although there once was a rumor, Fish does not have net access.  He
does know of the existence of this list and occasionally people have sent
him printouts of the digests. Fish said once that he'd love to join the
list, but don't expect it to happen. He doesn't have the time for it.

_IF_ he would join the list, some people say they expect a flame war
against Marillion and others were worried about posting any negative
comments on Fish.

------------------------------

Subject: 5.7  Fish the actor?

Fish has done a little acting, mainly some TV stuff. He also auditioned
(believe it or not) for a role in Aliens III.

He had a guest star role on an episode of Zorro, where he plays a farmer
who's persecuted for being a witch. The episode is called "The Newcomers".

In a mini-series on the BBC called "Jute City", he played a hired heavy,
who tried to kill John Sessions' character in the series (if only it was
for real and he had succeeded!). They also subliminally advertised Fish's
album eg. when he went in a pub, the song "Internal Exile" was on the
jukebox.

------------------------------

Subject: 5.8  What solo projects did Fish do?

Fish can be heard on a number of CD's from other artists, this list has
album title and the tracks Fish can be heard on. Also some singles he
participated in, mainly for charity.

Album: Soundtrack Quicksilver (Tony Banks)
     Shortcut to Somewhere

------------------------------

Subject: 5.9  What's the Funny Farm?

The Funny Farm is Fish's own recording studio in Scotland. He build this
studio, so he could write/produce his own music there. But also to promote
other Scottish bands, who can use the studio as well. The first result of
this is the CD "Outpatients '93", which features tracks from several 
unknown Scottish bands. To make the CD bit more interesting, Fish put three
of his own songs on it as well: 

   "Time and a Word" (with Steve Howe),
   "The Seeker"
   (These are two cover songs that didn't make it to "Songs from the Mirror")

   "Out of my Life"
   (An acoustic version of a tracks from the forthcomming "Suits" album)

Subject: 6.1  What books are there on Marillion/Fish?

This listing contains some information on the 3 books that are available
on Marillion and Fish (currently nothing on Fish solo).

Title        : Marillion in Words and Pictures
Author       : Carol Clerk
Published by : Bobcat Books: London, 1985
ISBN         : 0.7119.0768
Order No     : OP 43512
Other        : Softcover, 47 pages
Approx. price: US$5.95

     Exclusive distributors:
       Book sales Limited
       8/9 Frith St.
       London W1V 5TZ, UK

     This book is mostly color and black and white photos of the band,
     especially Fish, in concert and just hanging out. But it also gives
     a good overview of the band's history from the early days through
     the release of Misplaced Childhood. Some of its highlights are
     the recipe for Grendels, an explanation of the Fish/Derek conflict,
     and some insights into "The Web" and Misplaced Childhood.


Title     : The Script: An illustrated biography
Author    : Clive Gifford
Publisher : Omnibus Press, London, 1987
ISBN      : 0.7119.1113.4
Order No  : OP 44304
Other     : Softcover 96 pages
Price     : Approx. US$10.95

     Exclusive distributors:
       Book Sale Limited
       8/9 Frith St.
       London W1V 5TZ, UK

     The Script is an illustrated bio of the group by Clive Gifford.
     It's only 96 pages (with a lot of pictures), so it is not as
     extensive as "Market Square Heroes". This book was written after
     the release of "Misplaced Childhood," but before "Clutching at
     Straws." It has a complete discography of all of Marillion's
     singles, albums, videos, demos, bootlegs, promos, etc. with
     descriptions of distinctive features of the work (i.e. picture
     disk).

Title     : Market Square Heroes: The Authorized Story of Marillion
Author    : Mick Wall (foreword by Fish)
Publisher : Sidgwick and Jackson Limited
ISBN      : 0-283-99426-6
Other     : 310 pages

     Address:
       1 Tavistock Chambers, Bloomsbury Way
       London WC1A 2SG
       Great Britain

     Market Square Heroes: The Authorized Story of Marillion is probably
     the most informative of the Marillion books I've seen.  It has the
     least amount of pictures,  but those they have are of a historical
     nature.  I'd say it is the most honest of the various books -- it's
     a real biography, not just a cheap attempt to raise money off of
     the fans.  After reading the book, I felt I knew Fish, Steve
     Rothery, Pete, Ian, and Mark.  The book is tailored for the fan
     however -- Mick Wall's appreciation of the band and the songs are
     quite in evidence.

     It has on the back cover that "The main reason the band and I
     [Fish] wanted this book to be written, was because there's never
     been anything published that truly got to grips with the real story
     of Marillion."  I'd agree.

     If you are looking for facts on Marillion through the release of
     Clutching at Straws, I'd recommend Market Square Heroes -- if you
     want pictures of Fish and the band, go somewhere else . . .

Title     : Marillion: `The Thieving Magpie' (La Gazza Ladra)
Author    : Roger Day
Publisher : Wise Pulications, London 1989
ISBN      : 0.7119.1837.6
Other     : Order No. AM74758.


     This book contains scores for everything on The Thieving Magpie,
     including Freaks and the whole of Misplaced Childhood.

Title     : Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Author    : ? anyone know ?
Publisher : Chapell Music Ltd. 129 Park Strees, London, W1Y 3FA, UK
ISBN      : 0 86359 288 0

     Exclusive Distributors:
       Internationa Music Publications
       Southend Road

    This book contains the scores and the lyrics of the whole Mispaced
    Childhood album. First published in 1985.

------------------------------

Subject: 6.2  What videos are there?

Currently 7 videos exist, all of Marillion. Here's the listing:

Title : Recital of the Script
Time  : 55:00
     Script for a Jester's Tear/Garden Party/Chelsea Monday/
     He Know You Know/Forgotten Sons/Market Square Heroes

     Very good live video from a concert at the Hammersmith Odeon. It
     says on the back:

       "It was the night a dream came through - when two years of motorway
        madness, greasy spoon meals, and interminable club gigs suddenly
        all seemed worthwhile. Hammersmith Odeon - the oft-sought but
        seldom attained aim of every rock band. A capacity audience
        hanging on to every note and a massive stage for Marillion to
        present their stunning visual theatrics in spectacular style.
        Powerful, dramatic music; provocative lyrics and superlative
        musicianship.  A night to remember - for Marillion to savour with
        understandable relish as a major milestone in their career"

Title : Grendel/The Web (EP)
Time  : 29:00

     Contains: Grendel/The Web (live)

     This video has two live tracks; both were encores at the Hammersmith
     Odeon concert of "Recital of the Script". It says on the back:

       "'Grendel' was originally released on vinyl in October 1982 - our
        first ever release on EMI - and an unplanned third encore at the
        Hammersmith Odeon show in April 1983. 'The Web' has not been per-
        formed live since this show....."

Title : 1982-86 The Videos
Time  : 35:00

     Market Square Heroes/He Knows You Know/Garden Party/Assassing/
     Kayleigh/Lavender/Heart of Lothian/Lady Nina

     All the videoclips up to 1986. Some are very good, especially Garden
     Party is very funny.

Title : Incommunicado C/W Sugar Mice
Time  : 8:46

     Contains: Incommunicado/Sugar Mice (videoclips)

Title : Live from Loreley
Time  : 87:00

     Slainte Mhath/Assassing/Script for a Jester's Tear/Incubus/Sugar Mice

     Lavender/Heart of Lothian/The Last Straw/Incommunicado

     Good live video, recorded in St. Goarshausen (Germany) on July 18,
     1987. It starts with "La Gazza Ladra" as intro and some backstage
     shots.

     Sympathy/Cover My Eyes/No One Can/Dry Land/Hooks in You/
     Uninvited Guest/Easter (with Hogarth)

     Garden Party (with Fish)

     Once again a lot of videos, only the first 4 tracks were not released
     on a video before. Accompanies the CD with the same name. In the
     USA this video is called "Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other"

------------------------------

Subject: 6.3  What's a bootleg?

A bootleg is a record that contains an illegal or unauthorized recording
of the band. They're also called "ROIO's": Recording Of Illegal/
Indeterminate Origin. These recordings are used to make LP's and in the
last few years CD's. Most have a catchy title and a nice photograph on the
front. How about the first Hogarth-Marillion CD bootleg, which is called
"Something Fishy Going On"....

The source of the recordings can vary from someone who taped a concert
with his walkman, to an original DAT recording directly from the equipment
of the band. Sometimes a radio broadcast is used. Quality of the bootleg
can vary from very poor to excellent.

------------------------------

Subject: 6.4  How many bootlegs are there?

There are many bootlegs on vinyl (LP), but I'm not sure how many exactly,
but it is around 250 boots. Far less bootlegs are available on CD,
currently there are 56 known bootlegs for both Fish and Marillion.

A full listing of these CD-bootlegs is available from the listserver, see
question 1.7 for info how to get it.

This listing contains info on date, time, label and location. It also
contains tracklistings and a short review of the disc.

------------------------------

Subject: 6.5  Where can I buy bootlegs?

They're usually hard to get because bootlegs are illegal. But if you're
lucky, you can run into some at a record store. They're generally easier
to buy in Europe than the States.

Another way is to buy bootlegs is via mail-orders. Mail order companies
that carry Marillion and Fish boots are located in Germany and Italy, but
this changes often. Check specialized magazine's for ads, otherwise ask on
the list if anyone has more info. Sometimes bootlegs are even offered for
sale on the list.

The Marillion and Fish fanclubs also offer several 'official' bootlegs for
sale, more on this in question 7.3.

If you are interested in getting good tapes with live recordings, contact
Bill Frech (marilbil@ix.netcom.com), who offers hunderds (thousands?)
of live recordings for sale (both audio and video!). He has a comprehensive
list you can get for as little as $1.00 ($1.50 for Canada, $2.00 rest of
the world, USD only).  This list includes tracklisting and short comments
on source/sound quality. Highly recommended! His postal address is:

 Bill Frech
 3532 Fox Chase Drive
 Imperial, PA 15126
 U.S.A.
 (412)695-1699

If you're interested in trading, drop him a line, as he is always searching
for new material!

A source for bootleg CD's is John Young (jry@ufcc.ufl.edu), he has a huge
list with hundreds of bootlegs, including a number of Fish and Marillion
CD's. The list is available on request, but there's no info on quality or
tracklisting. Please get a copy of the bootlist for this info. I have no
experience with buying from him.

Subject: 7.3 What about the official bootlegs?

MARILLION:
Marillion have released three live CD's on their own label, called Racket.
The first one is called "Live at the Borderline" which was recorded at the
Borderline club in London at May 9, 1992. The second disc is called "Live
at Caracas" and was recorded in Caracas Argentine on September 30, 1992.
The Caracas recording is much cleaner and according to some better than
the Borderline disc. Others prefer the Borderline disc because it's closer
to a 'real' live concert (i.e. it's not perfect). More info is in the
bootleg list (see chapter on bootlegs). The third disc is called "Live at
Glasgow Barrowlands", and is recorded on December 4, during the Seasons
End tour.

These bootlegs are only available to fanclub members, they can order two
copies of each disc.

FISH:
Fish too has released several official bootlegs, 6 total. These are all
high quality double CD's with at least 100 minutes of material and cost
only 14 pounds (plus 1 pound postage in the UK, more elsewhere).  Five
more CD's will be released in the future.

The 6 2CD bootlegs of The Company Scotland are available ALSO for
non-members.  I think you can buy any quantity. The Fish bootlegs are also
for sale in many local CD shops in the USA, for prices between $20 and
$30 US dollars, keep your eyes open! If you're clueless where to look, ask
someone on the list.

Subject: 8.1  I like Marillion. What other bands can you recommend?

There are many bands that make the same kind of music (often referred to
as "progressive rock") as Marillion. Here are some suggestions you may
want to check out:

     Anglagard                          Genesis        (?)
     Aragon                             Haze
     Arrakeen                           i.Q.           (*)
     Asgard                             Pallas
     Cathedral (US)                     Pendragon
     Chandelier                         Pink Floyd     (*)
     Dream Theater  (*)                 Rush           (*)
     Peter Gabriel  (*)                 Shadowland
     Galahad                            Twelfth Night

(*) has its own mailinglist.

This is just a small selection of many good bands that make great music.
Every now and then there is a discussion on the Freaks list on different
music than just Marillion/Fish. That's were I got some of the above
mentioned bands. Further you can check out the UseNet newsgroup 
alt.music.progressive.

A special mailinglist for progressive music is Gibraltar. They have a quite
big survey file, available as 

   ftp://ftp.uwp.edu:/pub/music/lists/gibraltar/1993prog-survey.tex.tar.Z

This list covers over 1000 bands. Highly recommended! Please note that the
filesize is 536586 bytes. It is also available in smaller pieces in the
subdirectory 1993survey/*.
