Former MARILLION Vocalist FISH Talks Retirement With Metal Express Radio - "I Want To Start Writing Books And Screenplays"

Metal Express Radio correspondent Mick Burgess caught up with former Marillion frontman Fish (born Derek William Dick) during the singer's current European tour. Hear them talk about his new solo album A Feast of Consequences, the difference between singing in front of a live audience and in studio, breaking with Frank Usher, his divorce and his plans to retire from music:

Fish: "It's high probability I'm going to be moving to Germany. I want to start writing books and screenplays. All the stuff I've always wanted to do that I've never had the time to do."

Fish recently released a video for the new single, "Blind To The Beautiful". Featuring breathtaking imagery, much of it courtesy of Greenpeace, the video shines a light upon the huge ecological disasters that climate change is already bringing to the world.

"Blind To The Beautiful" features on the album A Feast Of Consequences, released through Cobalt Music in the UK. A Feast Of Circumstances features over 68 minutes of original material including "The High Wood Suite" and six other songs produced by Calum Malcolm (13th Star, Blue Nile, Prefab Sprout) and written by Fish, Steve Vantsis, Foss Paterson and Robin Boult.

The Deluxe Limited Edition Version contains a Making of DVD Preparing The Feast directed by David Barras, which includes live concert footage, studio footage, demos, interviews and other versions of the songs with both discs housed in a beautiful 100 page casebound book with exquisite artwork designed by Mark Wilkinson and containing his illustrations/drawings/paintings/photography as well as lyrics and other writings from Fish housed inside a sturdy slipcase. It also comes with a 24 bit FLAC download and PDF of the album artwork. The album, which has a running time of 68 minutes, is available as a standard jewel case with 20 page booklet, a 24 bit 44.1 khz FLAC and a 320 BPS MP3, together with PDF files of the 20 page booklet.
