Looking forward to the first of my H Natural shows in Dublin next week. My Liverpool show in December has sold out so I'm going to add another one - details coming soon on the Marillion website. In the meantime there are still tickets left for the shows in Milan, Holland and London so I hope to catch up with you there.

Hi there. 

Spent the last two mornings doing some recording with My good friend Robin Boult. A very enjoyable time was had indeed. Also you might have noticed that the long awaited Transatlantic live DVD is finally on pre order from us. We are only doing the European versions although they are identical in content to the U.S. Versions. All relevant info is on the website. www.marillion.com/shop/dvd/ta-whirltour2010-mediabook.htm

See you on tour somewhere.
Pete.
