With the band away on tour and Christmas fast approaching, we thought we'd
share what we've been up to here at Racket Records.

But before we do, please head over to
http://songpier.com/marillion/somewhere-else---live-in-munich if you want to
hear a song from the show last week in Munich.  We will be adding more songs
to this site as the tour progresses.

The band will be back in the studio straight after Christmas to dig in deep
and finish the new Marillion album which will be released sometime in 2012 -
when we have more details you will be the first to know.

Meanwhile in between all this Marillion work, Pete and Mark have been busy
with some new side projects - CD's are available to order now.  
http://www.deeexpus.com/ - features Mark on Keyboards
http://www.edisonschildren.com/ - Written and produced by Pete Trewavas and
Eric Blackwood - this also has guest appearances from all the members of
Marillion!

We haven't been slacking here at the studio either - we have loads of new
merchandise on offer for Christmas, including hats, scarves, new waterproof
jackets, polo shirts, t-shirts and mugs.

We also have a new CD called 'Marillion.Best.Live' - which as the name
suggests is a complilation of the best tracks from our various live albums.
All the fans favourite songs all on one CD.

And of course arriving at the studio any day now is the Friday night show
from our convention in Holland.  Entitled 'Holidays in Zelande' - this DVD
features the whole of the Holidays in Eden album plus all the encores.  We
recently held a cinema screening of the DVD to a few fans from our UK
fanclub and they gave it a resounding thumbs up.  So order yours now:

And lastly - thanks from the band to all of you in North America for
purchasing your tickets for the shows in June 2012.  Over half the tickets
have been sold already!  Limited Edition tour t-shirt to commemorate the
tour can be found here:
