The broadcast itself was one of the key career moments for the band: basically, we were able to turn professional in March, and headlined a tour in Scotland on the strength of the session shortly afterwards. I remember getting lost with all the FX we could get on the vocals. You had to be fully rehearsed to do those sessions, there wasn’t time to mess about, and I think that’s very good for encouraging professionalism in bands.

(Jon Collins: Marillion/Separated Out – The Complete History 1979-2002) As the popularity continued to grow, Mick’s girlfriend Stef Jeffries was brought in to help Tim write the fanzine. The BBC were inundated with requests, leading to a repeat of the session in May “by popular demand”. Written by Tim Hollings, its first words were, “Hi, this newsletter is designed as a means of expression for both the band and you, the people, who have supported Marillion in the past and, we hope, the future.” Little did anyone know at this stage, that this means of expression would still be published 20 years later! The Web proved its value very early on, as a request in an early edition encouraged fans to request the Friday Rock Show session again. In February 1982 the first issue of Marillion’s official fanzine The Web was released.
It also proved to be Diz’ last recording, though he didn’t know at the time. The broadcast was made a month later on, a significant event, in that marillion’s trademark sound had: for the first time, left the Thames Valley and reached the furthest points of the United Kingdom. The recording took place with Tony Wilson at the production helm, to capture old favorite The Web, as well as two newer tracks – Three Boats Down From The Candy and Forgotten Sons.
