It is a great tribute to former Marillion frontman Fish that after over 25 years in the music business he still commands an audience attention with wit, venom and style.

Opening with his first solo hit, Big Wedge, he then jumped 14 years to Moving Targets and Innocent Party from his last studio album Fields of Crows, before finishing the first part of the set with the haunting Raingods With Zippos/Make It Happen and the ever popular Credo.

After a brief break, the second part of the show was devoted to the best-selling 1985 Marillion album Misplaced Childhood.

The audience wallowed in nostalgia and classics like Lavender and Childhood’s End were warmly received.
