![]() I’m guessing your experience with Marillion has been different? ![]() They say it’s often a mistake to meet your heroes. And I was terrified! I’ve still got the transcript of that somewhere, and, of course, it’s in the magazine as well. I seem to recall you interviewing Steve Rothery … I even chatted about marathon training with Mark Kelly at the 2013 convention in Port Zelande, Holland. I had a long chat with Pete in Oslo in 2007. I think I have exchanged most words with Steve Rothery or maybe Pete Trewavas. I’ve met the current line-up several times. My mother bought me Misplaced Childhood for Christmas, and it all went from there. In fact I didn’t buy anything until the following year. I remember a friend and I the day after discussing “the guy in the make-up who wanted to poison his wife?” Marillion came on, with Fish punching the air as he’s singing the ‘Punch’ part of the line and lyrics about poisoning your wife. So do you remember how you got into them in the first place?Īh, – ‘Punch and Judy’ was performed on BBC’s Top of the Pops. I really can’t explain it.Īre there any other bands who do that sort of thing for you? The music and lyrics seem to touch you on another level. ![]() Their music means everything to me, it’s impossible to explain, you get that ‘goosebumps’ feeling when you listen to it. Why Marillion? If we had an answer to that one, we could bottle it and spread happiness throughout the planet. Hi Darren! First, tell us, why Marillion? Is it possible to say what their music means to you?īoy, that’s a tough one. I caught up with him recently to chat about his love of Marillion, the Marillion ‘family’ and Marillion Lyric Day. I first met Darren in The Tara pub in Amsterdam, en route to the 2011 Marillion Weekend in Port Zelande. Originally from Stoke-on-Trent, he has lived in Jӓrbo, Sweden with his partner Diana since 1994. Darren Lovatt is an active and very visible member of the Marillion fan community. ![]()
