Ed’s Letter
Hello, and welcome to the new issue of Prog. This afternoon I spent a very enjoyable hour or so chatting with cover star Fish about his final album, Weltschmerz, his impending retirement and his plans post-making music. Towards the end it struck me that for the best part of the last 40 years, he’s been a constant in my musical enjoyment, given that Marillion’s Market Square Heroes was my gateway to progressive music. Over the years we’ve had more than our fair share of laughs, and while I totally understand his reasons for calling time on an impressive career, and certainly don’t begrudge that decision, I couldn’t help feeling a tinge of sadness.
