marion

teletext reported yesterday that they'd reformed to do their first gig together "in years"

err what about the one i went to in bath in april then?

Dunno but WIM is on the radio right now I like it I must confess:)

Best footy song EVER!

Prob not New Order's best though.

I wonder what Shug thinks of it. Hmmmm.

If Carlesberg made footy songs, yes... Nowhere near the Order's best,as you say.. And Shug,oh ye,fuck im Delimetri fans eh?tsk!

Surely some sort of record has been acheived for thread hijacking here?

Never mind the subject, let's get straight in with what WE want to speak about :P

Aren't Marion the New Lad's band?

marion are good

phil is the man

Bit of a girly name Marion.....I would'nt mind hearing some of their work,to form an opinion all the same... Never heard anything from them,except that time when Robin Hood intervened to stop that dastardly King John having his wicked way

Me and G-Man stood right next to Phil at the Apollo after party.

I was literlly too out of it to speak and G was more interested in talking to his mate (a drummer of some celebrity who I didn't recognise).

Lucky axcape for the Cunningone - he'd never have been able to get rid of me once I'd started on him.

Ah well, Happy Days!

Night and Day in September. I got my ticket when Kloot played there, which was 5 weeks ago now!

Confused here...Are they still on the go? Were they a now defunct guitar based band, in the 95 Brit pop era?

Never heard them, what type of stuff do they play??

All I know is they were Phil Cunningham's old band. Guessing they were around about ten years ago..Never heard anything by them tho

i like them

You like everyone Jack! Ok..Recommend a song by Marion, and I will try to track it down

Even Flow wrote: i like them

You've already told us that, but not given any indication to what they sound like. If they are like Pearl Jam, don't think I'd be interested

I always get them confused with Gene... No idea why, though... Don't think I've heard anything by them... Second the vote for Jack to recommend a track to check out...

SHEDi xxx

the debut album "this world and body" is good, that's what i have

you could probably pick it up for really cheap now.

I always associate them with Gene aswell!Seriously! No reason for it at all Olympian by Gene is a necter song!

Ebay then.

nothing like pearl jam (thank god!) try & find "time" on p2p as a handy taster

Love the whole album... It may just be the 'name' thing, but then I never get them confused with James...

No,I never confused anyone with James...James broke my heart when they split.....I feckin loved em!!! You had to see James live,to see just how good they were! Their albums were a bit hit and miss,but as a live band they were a totally different animal...The studio albums never quite captured it in the same way..A fine,fine bunch of musicians! Sadly missed...Getting Away With It(all messed up) Farewell gig on DVD.Strongly recommended.Also available on CD.Marvellous

Saw 2 clips with them on Rage in 2002 when NO were guest programmers("Time" as mentioned by Jack and "Sleep"-nowt too bad IMHO)

Marion claim to be Macclesfields THIRD biggest export - after Joy Div and Macc Lads.

Weren't they peddlars of rather nondescript goth rock with a hint of the Smiths? Or something...

sorry to hijack this thread, but whenever I see it i think of the lyrics below.

Was ich kann und was ich könnte Weiss ich gar nicht mehr Gib mir wieder etwas schönes Zieh mich aus dem Meer Ich höre dich rufen Marian Kannst du mich schreien hren Ich bin hier allein Ich höre dich rufen Marian Ohne deine Hilfe verliere ich mich in diessem Ort

its Sisters of Mercy, from the song "Marian" its the one German verse.

What I can do and what I could do I just don't know anymore Give me something beautiful again Drag me from the sea I hear you calling Marian Can you hear me calling? I am here alone I hear you calling Marian Without your help I am lost in this place

more apologies for re-directing this thread.

i think i'm drowning....
