    Sep 3 2024

    Joining Craig & Mezza to discuss the mighty Afraid of Sunlight album are Mikie Kay, Grae Tennick and James Levey. There is a lot of love for the final album of the original EMI contracts and that is reflected in the conversation here.


    Chat includes the origins of the Racket Club, the dilemma of following up the "Brave" album and EMI losing faith with the band. This crucial period for Marillion, sees the seeds of the current set up for the band being sown, H's lyrics taking on a more personal angle, Rothers moving away from his trademark sound, the spilt from John Arnison and leaving EMI.

    Look out for Part 2 next week.
