Was listening to Script FAJT in the car the other day and thought that maybe Garden Party is pre-1989 Marillion's signature song, combining several of the band's musical themes of that era. But, just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, everyone will have their own idea for Marillion's quintessential song and I don't expect anyone to agree. Anyway, this might be their most theatrical, energetic video, thank you for showing.
A song with a long Marillion history. In the video also Andy Ward ex- #Camel drummer can be seen. Andy was the Marillion drummer from May to August 1983 after original drummer and Co-Marillion founder Mick Pointer had to leave. The song dates back to March 1981, Fish's lyrics to December 1980. A musically different version with the lyrics sung by Fish and bass played by Diz Minnitt was on the audition tape the both sent to Marillion. They joined Marillion at the beginning of January 1981. Brian Jelleyman who was the keyboardist before Mark Kelly and since October 1979 in the band had the idea for the piano intro of the original version of the song.
Just sends me back to Milton Keynes gig 86 I think , Garry Moore, Jethro Tull and Magnum loads of booze, women in bikinis, fires at night , no getting ripped off by Ticketmaster, pay at the gate , everyone enjoying themselves, oh and free parking!!!!!!!!😎😎👍👍👍
@glennthompson1173 agree, I think the hogarth ledcmarillion released bad singles like "hooks in you," one of the poppiest songs, which felt less progressive. but so many good songs on that album and follow-ups. melodic, but inventive. grew on me.
One of my favorites. The boyish antics make me smile.

Good fun.
Lovely stuff! There's only four of them in the video - looks like the drum machine was on the payroll by that point(er)!
There's five of them. Rothery is dressed as a priest. And Andy Ward appears even though he didn't play the drums on the track.
@@junglejamesie Doh! There's such a fine line between clever and stupid.
@@junglejamesieRothery is the priest as he refused to shave his beard to play a schoolboy.
(The Great Cucumber Massacre) ... what a laugh .
Anyone else think this was Marillion's tribute to The Music Box by Genesis.
First and last video with Andy Ward in it.
What did he play in the band?
@@glennthompson1173 Drummer apparently. But not for long.
MT ruim. Prefiro o Hogarth mil vezes
Forgotten how awful Fish's girlie vocals were back then, thank goodness they got a decent singer, bloody terrible before Steve joined.
The Fish era was like an aggressive Genesis clone. Hogarth made Marillion an original and powerful band, giving Marillion character and soul.
I wasn't happy at first after misplaced childhood and clutching at straws but I totally agree with you.
