At the beginning of 2006 it came to light that after a 7 year absence, Jaime Harding and Phil Cunningham were working together again, writing and demoing new material with long time friend Carl Jackson. Deciding to revive the Marion and recruiting Jack Mitchell from Haven on drums, Jake Evans from Rambo & Leroy and Che Hargreaves on guitar and bass respectively they played a successful gig at the Green Park Tavern in Bath, the set featuring a selection of Marion classics and brand new songs. The rest of the year brought more gigs and more new material, with increased intrest from both the press and fans, old and new.
However, a mixture of health issues within the band caused momentum to stall, and there was no activity through 2007.
Now, with everyone fit again, the band are ready to take up where they left off in December 2006, and with Beard now agreeing to join the fold, Solo gigs by Jaime, along with reports of new material and forthcoming gigs by the full band suggest that the future is once again bright for Marion.

hi guys! I've been a massive Marion fan since your debut album,still amazing. I love you and I'm waiting for you to come back with a new album and a lot of gigs. Hope you are all well. Cheers!
Hello from Peru. Thanks for adding me! Ive been a big fan of the band since I first saw the video for Sleep. I saw you guys play live in Tokyo in 98, it was a great gig, I loved the interplay between Phil and Tonys guitars. Its good to see you guys are back together, and that Beard is now back in the band. I still listen to your albums, they are some of my favourites, but I hope you release some new music soon. Cheers! Hope Jaime is doing better now.
As a teenager I would listen to you guys all the time, I had all the singles and the albums and posters...tons and tons of posters and pics! I'll probably never be able to see you LIVE- but I'm so glad the band is still alive.
Thanks for the add, we love you. We've created this page for support you (and also created a fan page for Jaime on facebook) and for all the fans around Italy. You're a great band and we hope to see live one day!
alreet chaps.. A speedy recovery to you jamie, you are without a doubt of my favourite bands..we'd love to do some shows with you. much love to you all..kerryann x
