Hello Everyone,
After a year without walking onto a stage, and with no chance of being together with you all this year I decided I should find a way to make a Christmas show for us all.
Unfortunately St. John's Oxford are unable to welcome the public during the current restrictions but suggested I might consider a live-stream.
So then I got to thinking... and the more I thought about it, the more I thought it must happen!
I will be playing songs in church, at the Steinway Piano, as the mood takes me, in the usual fashion.
Audience feedback will be via Facebook and Lucy Jordache will be presiding over your comments along with Ant Short. The show will include a short-ish Corona Diaries Live Podcast where Ant and I discuss your questions and I attempt to throw light on them.
Also a short reading from the diary.
I will have to dress my own tree (boo) and drink my own tequila (even more bum chords than usual).
Tim Sidwell will set up the cameras and the live stream so it will look good. Steve Finch will provide lights, so it will be pretty. Phil Brown will mix the broadcast sound so it will sound wonderful. And I will be listening out for your thoughts, comments and, dare I say it, requests.
If you can't make it to the live stream on the night, the link will remain live for 48 hours to give everyone time to be "at" the show when they are able.
Tickets are available to the WORLD priced £12.00 each. If you're planning to watch with family or friends, you can support the show by purchasing a family ticket for £18.00
Single Ticket - www.marillion.com/shop/merch/hogarth12.htm
Family Ticket - www.marillion.com/shop/merch/hogarth13.htm
And if you're still struggling for a stocking filler as well as Marillion's excellent baubles and the goodies in the Racket shop, there are a few cool little things at the new TCD shop.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and hopeful Christmas

Hello everyone. I have produced some new goodies to celebrate The Corona Diaries. Available now via the TCD Shop. NOW OPEN.

Hello campers! I'll be live for a q&a session this afternoon on Instagram. Lord - it took Covid19 to get me going, and now I've gone into frenzy.
I'll launch this Podcast "The Corona Diaries" next Monday, but in the meantime... here's The Prologue to give you a feel of what's coming...
Stay safe and well, and go easy in the bad world.
Thanks to Ant Short and the ever brilliant Mark Bredius.
Seizure later. 4pm British Hogarthtime to be exact.

Wow! Looks like we've all got time on our hands at the moment...
Lucy tells me there are a few people out there pretending to be ME on Instagram! Who'da thunk it?! So it seemed like a good time to start an Instagram thing myself and pretend to be me, myself. So, no doubt you social-media-savvy clever-clogs will already know that I'm at stevehogarthonline and posting pictures of stuff - mostly myself. Well, I'm a singer and they're all egomanics aren't they?
And it doesn't stop there either. I have a plan to launch a podcast too!! My mate Anthony Short keeps popping over and interviewing me. He likes to get me rapping about all sorts of random stuff and it's been quite good fun. As well as the random chat, I'm reading from the diary and trying to get a kind of "audio-book-in-bits" going. It's all early days and we're making it up as we go along but I thought I'd let you know it's on its way and something else to look out for...
Stay safe and try not to go stir-crazy...
Love

Hello everyone,
Marillion have been in the studio daily since the beginning of the year, jamming and putting down the initial "happy accidents" which will eventually lead to album number nineteen (I had to look it up!) Every day has yielded up something interesting and I don't think I've ever felt more relaxed at this stage in the writing process. Good stuff. Our signed "Friends" prints have raised over 10,000 euros for the "Hope Flowers" school. That's totally incredible! Thank you all. x
Yesterday we were proud to welcome Harry Dunn's family for a tour of our studio. You may or may not know about Harry's tragic and controversial death in a road accident last year. Having lived myself for many years in Charlton, Northants I had already met Harry's mum, Charlotte, in the local pub some years ago. Radd Seiger (an American himself) who has volunteered to represent the family, was my next door neighbour and I'm actually Godfather to one of his children! It's strange how things sometimes fall into your lap. Radd called me last weekend and told me that Harry's brothers Michael and Ciaran were Marillion fans and musicians so I invited everyone over. I hope we managed to spread a little bit of good feeling and, if only for an hour, ease their pain.
I'm feeling a little sensitive about being seen as "the political one" in the band. My politics are nothing to do with this - I'm simply hoping you'll click on the link below, read the story and empathise with the tragedy and injustice this bereaved and lovely family has had to endure for many months now. I'll need say no more.
One love

Hello everyone,
It looks like you all raised upwards of €8ooo for Hope Flowers over Christmas. Thank you for contributing. Pat yourself on the back and feel warm and happy. You've done something lovely and you should be proud of yourself.
8k considerably beats the 6k target and my mates in Marillion and I will quietly add to it to ensure Hope Flowers muddles along a little while longer under very challenging circumstances.
Well done everyone and, if all this didn't get onto your radar yet, you can always help here.
