It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas… if your annual festive shindig means sheets of freezing rain framed against a grey London sky and the dark silhouettes of the city’s skyline, with a soundtrack scored by Marillion. There’s something very reassuring about hearing Easter out of season and realising time is creeping to the end of yet another year.
Tell that, though, to the hundreds of poor souls (how apt, how prog!), has, much like Marillion, reinvented itself many times over. Railway shed, a home for heads and then driven into the ground by the local dignitaries to the point where the local council tried to flatten it, before being reinvented for a new age.
