• All Change (Part 2) with Pete Trewavas.

  In this episode, Mark and Tallulah cover the second half of Chapter 5, All Change. They talk through the painful process of firing former guest on the podcast and ex-Marillion member Diz Minnitt, the arrival of current bassist Pete Trewavas, and the short-lived involvement of manager David Stopps - part of what’s starting to feel like a revolving door.Pete joins them in the second half to share his early memories of the band, including his first gig - featuring Fish on acid. An unconventional welcome, even by Marillion standards. They also reflect on the growing buzz during their Scottish tour, which, by the end, had them playing to noticeably bigger crowds, and, for the first time, success started to feel within reach.Support the showemail your questions to us at [email protected] Mark's Autobiography - Marillion, Misadventures and Marathons https://www.marillion.com/shop/merch/book06.htm

• All Change (Part 1)

  This week, Mark and Tallulah wade into the first half of Chapter 5, All Change. It features the band's first time playing at the Marquee Club and a few tales from the dressing room that are probably best left off the official record (but naturally, aren’t).The chapter captures that awkward in-between phase: gaining momentum, drawing crowds, but still broke enough to survive on potatoes and whatever resembled meat in the back of the fridge.Mark looks back with a mix of affection and amusement—proof that even when things were falling apart, it still somehow felt like progress.Support the showemail your questions to us at [email protected] Mark's Autobiography - Marillion, Misadventures and Marathons https://www.marillion.com/shop/merch/book06.htm
