I’m on a roll, and finally getting round to adding more pages
to the site. Next up is a big update,
courtesy of Dutch Europeans fan, Inge Kuijt. There is a page of her recollections, including a couple of
articles written for Dutch and French Marillion fanzines. These include a great photo (see left) of Colin and Steve taken in London in 1988, towards the end of How We Live’s days! I have also updated the Gigs pages with
the full sets of concert photos from Delft, Amsterdam, Folkestone
& Cologne in 1984! Many thanks to
Inge for access to her archive! |

Euros
Newsletters |
|
|
Wow, two new updates within a month! At last, the Europeans
Newsletters are now available on the Articles
page. In the days before the internet,
these photocopied A4 sheets were posted out to fans that had subscribed to
the mail-out list. I’ve added 22 new
pages! All four band members would
often write a short piece, plus musing from Mark at Eccentric! Enjoy...

Europeans
on BBC 6 Music |
|
|
|
On Tuesday 5 Feb 2008, Chris Hawkins played 30 mins of Europeans on
his late night BBC 6 music show! The six live tracks were:
Typical, Spirit of Youth, Going to Work, Falling, Joining Dots & AEIOU,
all from the 1984 Sight & Sound show at Chippenham
Goldiggers. The show was available on the
'listen again' feature via the BBC website, but only for a week. I am
pleased to host an mp3 of the tracks on
this site for a while. Please note that the file is large, 26.3mb. |
