Chapter 9. Estonia

The plan for this week had been to continue the story of Ice Cream Genius, but then I got an email asking about the back story to the lyric for Estonia and it seemed somehow apt. That took us on a journey that also covered the remix undertaken by the Positive Light boys and the their slightly unusual working methods.

The diary section this week focuses on the later stages of the HiE tour. I find myself reminiscing about support act The Violet Hour (or Violent Hour, as it turned out) and agonising over the fate of a porcelain owl - possibly possessed by satan!

Stay safe, inmates...

About the Podcast

The Corona Diaries

Steve Hogarth

Lead singer of Marillion, father, hippy, punk, soul singer, progressive rockstar (wtf!), defender of the faith, voice of reason in a world gone crazy...

...and now podcaster.

Join me as I talk about my life and what is rambling around in my head.

Along the way I will focus on some of the stories that have shaped my career and my life, as well as reading from my diaries and offering my take on the wider world.

Stay safe,

P.S I began this journey just as CoVid-19 took hold and changed our lives, possibly forever, so it seems apt to reference that in the naming of the podcast.

Post university I embraced the world of retail, firstly in supermarkets and later in & around the music instrument industry.
