Description

In this episode, Mark and Tallulah talk about the chaos of oversold venues in the manager's pursuit of profit, and surreal tour moments - from playing in Japan to the crew starting fires on planes. 

They delve into Marillion’s time playing with both Rush and Queen, including a bizarre party at Kensington Roof Gardens.
