Will you be my friend?

On June 30th 2011 Marillion fans got together world wide to take part in a Lyric posting event. My idea was in invite 200 friends to join me with these postings, but it got out of control. I believe 8 to 10 thousand people worldwide took part.

It was such a surprise to us all, facebook was a sea of Marillion lyrics and photos. It was so huge that I was interviewed by Marillion's UK fan club and that interview appears in the September Fanzine (Left)

Fantastic to re-live that day again. Can't wait for June 30th 2012, when we do it all again!

Happiness is the Road - Sweden to UK by car.

We had a great trip to the UK last week. We also met up with some of our Marillion Friends while there.

Firstly we would like to thank Also Eden bass player Steve Dunn and his family for a fantastic Sunday roast!

Many thanks to Nathan Page for the guided tour of Nottingham!

We also met up with Karen Challinor, who has the same "Marbles Tattoo" as my wife and I. A photo had to be taken of course! Thanks Karen and Colin for driving from the other side of town to join us.

On the way home we took a small detour to Clacton on Sea to meet Marillion fan Julie Indge - thanks for the food Jules, lovely to finally meet you!.
