“So here you are once more…”

Born from a deep love of the early Marillion era and the powerful emotions it evoked, Marquee Square Heroes celebrate one of the most defining chapters in British rock history. For those who grew up in the wake of punk and the rise of the new wave of British heavy metal, Marillion’s music spoke directly to the heart—telling stories of love, loss, identity, and the struggles of a generation.

From Script for a Jester’s Tear to Clutching at Straws, their songs captured a moment in time—melancholic yet defiant, poetic yet raw. Now, forty years on, Marquee Square Heroes bring that era vividly back to life. Featuring accomplished musicians from the progressive rock scene – including contemporaries of Marillion from their legendary Marquee days – the band delivers an authentic, two-and-a-half-hour journey through Fish’s tenure with emotion, precision, and respect.

Praised by PROG Magazine, with original figures from the Marillion story such as Bush Telfer and Stef Jeffery among their audience, Marquee Square Heroes transcend mere tribute. They offer a heartfelt celebration of the music, memories, and friendships that continue to echo through time.

Welcome back to the circus.
