'FISH' in Skinandi's

[linnie612]

Anyone planning to go and see Fish next month in Thurso? I am hoping to go, but have not really kept up with his solo career.

[NickInTheNorth]

is that Fish - the guy from Marillion? Might just go and see that!

Yeah, it is. Saw Marillion once and Fish once but that was quite a while ago!

I've never liked Marillion at all, frightfully pompous pish, to my ears. Tried too hard to be Genesis.

However, Fish's first solo album (A Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors) is absolutely fantastic. Check out Vigil, A Gentleman's Excuse Me, the deeply, deeply disturbing Family Business and the defiant The Company if you feel the need.

His later stuff included the minor hit Internal Exile, a fine example of his acoustic side.

Saw him only once, when he supported Jethro Tull at the Tarlair Music Festival in Macduff way back in 1994 (?) and he was just brilliant. Not as good as the majestic Tull though, but brilliant nonetheless.

I'll be certainly going to the Skinandis gig, even though it's only an all-acoustic show.

I have Vigil.. on vinyl and really liked it. Can't remember if I bought Internal Exile, though I think I may have a copy of it somewhere on tape. Saw Marillion in Edinburgh in 1986 I believe and Fish in Tain in 199-?. A lot of people thought Marillion pompous/indulgent etc., but I loved them. Would have loved to have seen Jethro Tull. And Pink Floyd... and....

Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors [Dick/Simmonds]:

'Listen to me
Just hear me out
If I could have your attention
Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd
I get so confused and I don't understand
I know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say
But you don't get the chance
Just a voice in the crowd'


Fish has been packing them in in England and in the Scottish Central belt on this tour (as well as abroad).

Well worth making the trip to Skins for this Gig on the 1st September when Fish and the other 2 F's will be playing their Acoustic Fishheads gig. Playing Back Catalogue Fish and Marillion Tracks + some new(?).

The more successful gigs we have in Caithness the more pull there shall be for even more acts to go that extra mile (or 110 in this case), when they hear of of the welcome their predecessors received in Caithness.

I've got my ticket, I hope you get yours and I'll see you on the night.

I'm planning to go. I used to live near him in East Lothian and never got to see him then. He just does the odd gig now and then these days.

Saw Fish in the Festival Theatre in Edinbugh, he was a tribute act with the Lothian & Borders Police choir, he was crap I thought he was drunk

Tickets bought - bit of a rip off though

[futurelegends]

I don't think you'll find it a rip off when the show's over.
