Steve Hogarth

[laughs] I was gonna say also, 'cause didn't...

With, with Mirrillion, with Steve Hogarth, they did take him to Iceland, and they did drop him off [laughs] on a glacier, didn't they?

Well, yeah, so-

And then a helicopter had fucked off.

I was

going to say, also, because with Marillion, with Steve Hogarth, they did take him to Iceland and they did drop him off on the glacier, didn't they? And then a helicopter had fucked off.

I don't think they could necessarily get away with doing that to Madonna.

No. I'll just say it as it was.

He's, he's just something, isn't he?

Uh, yeah, and, and that, that one he did with Steve Hogarth on his, um, on his ni- B612, I mean, that's one of the best produced songs I've heard in years.

Just beautiful.

So I'm glad he produced this album.

it would be, it would be quite epic.

But no, that, that, it's a, it's a, it's a good contribution.

Anybody would think we've just reviewed Steve Hogarth's, uh, H Band on Sunday, yeah.

You think? [laughs]

I'm going to give you a song today.

So this is a song written by Steve Hogarth from Meridian.

Okay.

And it's a song called Sounds That Can't Be Made.

I think the only personnel change I'm really aware of.

was um fish who left as the as the lead singer and steve hogarth who took over on vocals so our association was one of friendship first of all and then about eight years ago we talked about doing an album and we started jamming together whenever we had time which was challenged because he was touring so much, I was touring so much.

Phenomenally busy lives we were leading.

And so every now and again, we'd get together, we'd do another improv thing, question and answer.

As you can see from the title of the episode, we are here to talk about...

Mr. H's long awaited super deluxe version of Ice Cream Genius.

I say Mr. H, it's just H, isn't it? It's just H.

But before we give you our thoughts on the box set, We caught up with James Levy a couple of weeks ago.

James, as most of you know, is Merillion's archivist, and he is responsible for digging out a lot of these gems and putting them before Mr Hogarth.

So a lot of the box set is down to James, and a lot of the way it looks is down to Mr Kennedy, but we will come on to that later.

But Craig and I, I'm Gray, caught up with James, and here's our conversation.

Good evening,

I'm going to embrace the whole lounge pant thing next time I put my university in New Hampshire.

You're listening to The Corona Diaries, a sometimes random and often irreverent attempt to understand the psyche of singer Steve Hogarth.

You're on the gin, aren't you? Technically, yes.

This is interesting because when we were talking about it this week and I said I've got a bit of a weird week going on and we might have to do Thursday evening, is that all right? And you said, yes, that's fine, but I've got to be clear by 7.30.

My extended family, you know, cousins and...

Not cousins.

Shut up, Steve.

Nieces and

I'm going to embrace the whole lounge pant thing next time I put my university in New Hampshire.
