HappyMaz Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I hate to pour cold water on your idea Sue, but I've been in your front room and there's no way to fit a drum kit complete with other band members in there! You're such a spoilsport Beau! Sue: perhaps you could entice them as part of this years FSF Children in Need effort? I'm sure they'd oblige in return for a mug and a badge each! Quote
Sue R Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Mmmm...good idea Maz - and they could have the garden - I could charge the neighbours to listen and donate to CIN..? All pie in the sky, tho'- they have a hectic schedule...sigh...wistful smilie..? Quote
Sue R Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Good idea - I've enough of theirs. Where are you, narnia? You know them better than me - what do you think?? Quote
louby loo Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 ohwwwwww just visited website and ordered a free CD!! I think/thought they were heavy metal nutter music!!! - so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surpried xxxxxx Quote
Sue R Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Wow!!! You won't regret it!! narnia will be so pleased! They really aren't heavy metal 'nutter' (!!!!- that's me you're talking about) music, they are amazing. Please come back and say what you think when you've listened! Sue Quote
louby loo Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm getting all excited now! can't wait for it to arrive... xxxx Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 can't wait for it to arrive... Have ordered mine too! And when they asked where I'd heard about them I sais FSF Quote
Lorna Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I downloaded and listened to a couple of tracks yesterday... really enjoyed them... not what i was expecting... Quote
Sue R Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Keep listening - as the website says: 'Marillion are not what you think they are. No, really, they're not.' If you haven't been here already - why not now? Sue PS - narnia, hope you're keeping ok, still thinking about you and sorry to have put the thread on a 'swerver'! xx Quote
narnia Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 marillion are NEVER what you expect them to be.....................that's what's so good about them!! Try downloading 'This Train'....right now, it's my favourite track, and just makes me tingle,,,,,,,,,,lovely!! (and tell them Narnia sent you!!) yes sue, i'm ok, been having a bit of a wobbly couple of days though.........silly moo!(me, not you!) Quote
Deb Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I've ordered my copy of the Cd, courtesy of Narnia on the FSF! I'll be thinking of you Narnia when I listen to it...keep your chin up! Can't find The Train anywhere on the website though, anybodyelse had any luck. I notice they're playing in Bournemouth...in November..... Quote
Sue R Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 You may be able to download 'This Train is My Life' on the taster bit for the new album, "Happiness is the Road". Good luck getting tickets, but try! They are FANTASTIC live. Sue Quote
narnia Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 definately get a ticket for Bournemouth, you absolutely will not regret it, they are simply one of THE best live acts around! Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 definately get a ticket for Bournemouth, you absolutely will not regret it, they are simply one of THE best live acts around! Now there's a recommendation! How could we fail to like them now? But why aren't you tucked up in bed at this time of night?? Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 ...........couldn't sleep...... that's a good enough excuse: I was finishing an EYPS written task! Quote
narnia Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 ok, here is a link to hubby's photographs of Marillion......beware there are squillions of other things, but the Marillion ones are marked up clearly to save you trawling through masses of stuff.You may need a glass of wine to steady your beating hearts when you see H!!! http://community.webshots.com/user/alanjonesdrummer Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 .You may need a glass of wine to steady your beating hearts when you see H!!! Which one is he? Quote
Sue R Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 The one with the maracas and the cricket bat. Great to see the wonderful electric cricket bat!! I remember seeing it for the first time years ago at Rock City - like a kid with a new toy, he was! But then, I suppose that's exactly what he was Remember the gloves? Does he still use them, I haven't seen them for a while? Quote
JacquieL Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Oh dear how can an oldie like me admit to thinking oooh golly! Would he be toy boy? I have to say the music is really wonderful. I went on their site and on itunes- I can see why you love it- fantastic stuff and good lyrics. They are in Manchester soon which is near me. Quote
narnia Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 .......so another ticket sold???? ..and no Sue, the gloves disintegrated,but they may have to be 'made again' for the convention! Quote
Sue R Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 OOOOOH, I REALLY REALLY want to see them again now.......... Shall have to try to work out a way of getting to Holland - and we can link up too!! (See, being positive for you!! ) Sue xx Quote
narnia Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 won't that be lovely??? I do hope you make it there..... Quote
