In 2019 Marillion vocalist Steve Hogarth looked back on his first 30 years with the band, telling Prog about their changing fortunes, his attitude to the record industry, living with artistic tension, and why it’s important to be scared while creating art.
“You never want to be comfortable. I don’t think good art comes from comfort,” says Steve Hogarth. It’s now 30 years since he turned down the offer of playing keyboards with The The in favour of joining Marillion. “I remember my old publisher saying, ‘Give it a couple of years,’” he recalls.
