Marquee Square Heroes: Marillion Tribute

About the show

Some disdain tribute bands, seeing them as pale imitations, but for others — especially with certain bands — the experience can be transcendent. MARQUEE SQUARE HEROES are, without doubt, one such group.

Featuring a lineup of established musicians from the prog rock scene, including one of Marillion’s contemporaries from the Marquee days who has supported both Marillion and Fish, and who themselves have produced acclaimed albums, toured Europe, and even played in America.

Their two-and-a-half-hour show is a masterclass, spanning the entirety of Fish’s tenure with Marillion and played with genuine emotion and authenticity. Every effort is made to recreate the sounds and effects that defined the era, transporting audiences straight back to those halcyon days.

And what do those who attend these shows say? When legends like Bush Telfer — the booking manager from the original Marquee — and Stef Jeffery, who ran the original Web fan club, count themselves among the audience, and when PROG Magazine highlights the band, you can be confident that this is more than mere nostalgia. It’s a celebration — a chance to relive those glory days, time and again.
