Review: Fish – Queens Hall, Edinburgh

Some of you might not be Spotify people, or social media people, coz you’re fucking old…” jokes Fish. Looking around the audience, the average age must be around late 40’s to early 50’s. This doesn’t stop them from having a good time though. As far as a stage show goes, a large screen above the stage presents video footage along to the music. I’m just as impressed tonight as I was back in December when I first saw this. It manages to capture Fish in real-time and combine it with previously prepared video. It’s very cleverly done. It’s difficult to pick highlights from the set, as every song is a winner, but if I had to choose, it’d probably be “White Russian”. Like all of Fish’s lyrics, it’s fantastically well written, poetic, and performed with such feeling that you’d have to have a heart of stone not feel some emotion when listening. The band finish up an awesome show with the classic “Tux On” and the poppy up-beat “Incommunicado”. If you have any interest in Fish or Marillion, then try and get along to one of the dates on the tour. It’s a great show. You won’t regret it. All current and forthcoming live dates can be found here.
