Marillion - An Hour Before It's Dark

An Hour Before It’s Dark is the nineteen album from Marillion,
Says, «Hi everyone»,
«I hope you’re keeping safe in what promises to be another strange pandemic Christmas for most people. We were so lucky to be able to finish the UK dates before the world went to hell (again) and to have the memories of those fantastic audiences to sustain us until the Marillion weekends next year».
«It’s quite a frustrating feeling for us all having just finished what I think is one of our very best albums, to have to put it on the shelf for several months but I promise you, it really will be worth the wait! (March 4th)».
«The response to the Steve Rothery Band – Live in London Blue ray has been fantastic and I’ve managed to shoehorn some European solo shows in with my band for Easter next year».
Marillion were formed in 1979 as Silmarillion, after J.R.R. Tolkien’s book The Silmarillion, by Mick Pointer and Steve Rothery. They played their first gig at Berkhamsted Civic Centre on 1 March 1980.
The band name was shortened to Marillion in 1981 to avoid potential copyright conflicts at the same time as Fish and bassist Diz Minnett joined after an audition at Leyland Farm Studios in Buckinghamshire on 2 January 1981. Rothery and keyboardist Brian Jelliman completed the first line-up; the first gig with this line-up was at the Red Lion Pub in Bicester on 14 March 1981. By the end of 1981, Kelly had replaced Jelliman, with Pete Trewavas replacing Minnett in 1982.
