When Marillion released the album Somewhere Else, Pete Trewavas and Steve Rothery came to New York City to perform at the record release/listening party at Kenny's Castaway's. Eric thought it would be a great idea, but was very skeptical whether this project would ever come to fruition, thinking it was meant in more of a hey man, let's jam some time sort of thing. He jumped up and joined Eric for the next 10 minutes, playing along on Steve Hogarth's keyboard.Īfterwards, Pete Trewavas mentioned to Eric that they should get together and do a project of some kind. While Eric was playing one of his signature songs Stranger In A Foreign Land, Pete Trewavas came out from backstage to see Eric performing with Rothery's guitar on stage.

They asked Eric Blackwood if he could go on stage and play with Rothery's guitar for awhile, while they tweak the problem. Prior to soundcheck at the Birchmere in Alexandria Virginia, Marillion's sound technicians Colin Price and Roderick Brunton, were having several issues with one of Steven Rothery's guitars. Duo from Aylesbury, UK and Sugar Loaf, New York, US formed in 2006Įdison's Children formed in 2006 during the Marillion Los Trios Marillos tour.
