Alan Blamires "I have followed Marillion’s work for over twenty years now and can honestly say that last weekends Afraid of Sunlight set was the best I have ever heard! 'Out of this World' especially."

Ken Ridgway, Sarah Ridgway, Louise Ridgway and Stuart Pierce Setlist Vote You'll notice 'Easter' just made it into the Top 10 list, but as the band had decided to play it as an encore on the Friday show, it was dropped, and Number 11 'Dry Land' made the list! The band also decided that to make the set 'flow' better on the night, some songs were swapped with their original voting position. However, all final top 10 songs were played!

Bridge Holidays in Eden Hope for the Future Living with the Big Lie Number One Paper Lies Separated Out Complete Song List What has been included? Well, after a long discussion, we have decided to include any Marillion song that the band have ever played live since 1989, plus all the studio album tracks since 1989. This gives an opportunity to hear some 'old favourites' as well! You will notice that all 'Afraid of Sunlight' songs are not included in this list, as the album was played in its entirety on the Friday night. Songs which 'fit together' will be counted as 1 song for the purpose of this vote, and in some cases, alternate live versions of songs have been included separately.
