Marquee Square Heroes: Brief Encounter

Marquee Square Heroes: Brief Encounter tickets in Aylesbury

Marquee Square Heroes: Brief Encounter is a tribute concert at the Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury, recreating Marillion's mid-1980s live shows. The set draws on Script from a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, Real to Reel, Misplaced Childhood and the Brief Encounter EP.

What the show covers

The production focuses on a commercially significant stretch of Marillion's career. By the end of 1984 the band had completed a major run of dates across the UK, Europe and North America on the Fugazi tour. Appetite for live material was strong enough that EMI issued Real to Reel, a mini-album recorded on the road.

That momentum fed into Misplaced Childhood, a number-one album whose singles Kayleigh, Lavender and Heart of Lothian reached a broad mainstream audience. The Brief Encounter EP gathered further live recordings and fan favourites that rounded out the period. Marquee Square Heroes sequence all of this material to reflect how Marillion presented it on stage at the time.

This production

Brief Encounter is described as a brand-new production following the group's earlier Aylesbury show, which marked the fortieth anniversary of Misplaced Childhood. The new show broadens the repertoire to include Script from a Jester's Tear and Fugazi alongside the later records.
