Marillion

Message from Racket Records.
Over the coming days and weeks, (in time for your Christmas shopping!), we will be dropping prices throughout the Racket Records store and also offering very special offers on t-shirt bundles, DVD bundles and much more. Come and visit the site often for updates.

For those of you waiting to h...ear about the Happiness Is The Road limited edition vinyl release - well we should have some more news for you on this next week.

A final reminder about the FREE fan club DVD.You may have seen communications from us in the past where we talk about 'Web Members' as each fan club is called 'The Web'. Every year each fan club gives their members a free CD which comes directly from the band. A list of previous fan club CD's can be found here to give you an idea of the kind of stuff we do http://www.marillion.com/web/xmas.htm.This year we are pleased to announce that for the first time we will be giving Web members a free DVD! This will be a DVD of the Cologne Happiness Is The Road Tour concert in 2008 - we're calling it 'Snow De Cologne'. Full track listing details will follow soon. So make sure that your membership is up to date or join before November 10th to guarantee yourself one. For your local fan club please look here http://www.marillion.com/web/index.htmRead More

just got back from Oslo - here's a message from Steve Hogarth.

"Oslo. What can I say? It started out like any other L=M gig but at some point in the second set, the audience just ran off with it. I felt like I was riding a horse in a horse-race which suddenly turned left and ran off the track, down the road and through ...town! The band tried to keep up with the crowd and more than one unrehearsed song had to be er.. performed. This extended the show somewhat as you'll hear.. Quite a night, and definitely the best vibe we've had in Oslo to date. I think we're finally getting to know each other.. h"

The download of this shows (along with the rest of the first leg of the tour) should be up for sale on Friday at www.marillion.com/tourRead More

- well Mark actually says

"Hello from the road!. On Saturday we played the last show of the first leg of the L=M tour at the Gasometer (it really used to be a gas storage facility) in Oberhausen, Germany.
Overall, the gigs have been great fun and really well received. I a bit surprised how well the acoustic stuff has be...en going down as it's not really like a normal Marillion show. Many people have commented to me that the album is great to introduce Marillion newbies to the band, as it's very accessible for first time listeners. So you know what to get your non Marillion friends for Xmas now!

Thank you to everyone who's come to see us so far and made the last 2 weeks great fun. We're looking forward to a few days at home next week and then Oslo at the weekend. If you can't join us on the tour, we are making many shows available for download at http://www.marillion.com/shop/music/acoustic.htm
