KW-20-2023: 40 concerts of #Marillion in 40 years in Montreal (1983-2023) – Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Sunday, 14th of may 2023 was not only Steve Hogarth’s 67th birthday, it was also Marillion’s 40th concert in 40 years in Montreal since they gave their first concert here in 1983. Please correct me if I’m wrong…

Korregiert mich bitte, wenn ich falsch liege, aber ich glaube am Sonntag, war nicht nur Steve Hogarth`s 67. Geburtstag, es war auch Marillion`s 40. Konzert in 40 Jahren Montreal seitdem sie 1983 hier ihr erstes Konzert gegeben haben. Korregiert mich bitte, wenn ich falsch liege …

KW-19-2023: Travelling Montreal, finishing my soon outcoming next book „Marillion, Montreal & Leonard Cohen“ – Marillion Weekend 2023 in Montreal – Day 3/ 3

The third day of the „Marillion Weekend 2023“ in Montreal was also a bit dominated by Leonard Cohen. At the evening event before the concert „Audience with Marillion“, a Marillion fan  congratulated Steve „H“ Hogarth  in detail  on how well he succeeded in the song „The Crow & The Nightingale“.  Leonard Cohen was called, when the band  was asked who they would like to  meet.

Auch der dritte Tag des „Marillion Weekend 2023“ in Montreal stand ein wenig im Zeichen von Leonard Cohen. Bei der abendlichen Veranstaltung vor dem Konzert „Audience with Marillion“ hat ein Marillion-Fan Steve „H“ Hogarth ausführklich gratuliert, wie gut ihm der Song „The Crow & The Nightingale“ gelungen ist. Desweiteren wurde Leonard Cohen genannt, als die Band gefragt wurde, wen sie gerne einmal treffen würde
