I was browsing the used record store earlier and came across a band called Marillion--at first I was excited because they might have been a ref. to GRRM, but some of their records were copyrighted 1988. Anyone heard this band, or know if GRRM might be referencing them in the name of his singer? (I was too cheap to buy any.)
Yes, I think this is a direct reference to the band. Marillion was everywhere in the UK back in the mid-late 1980's. I thought of them immediately when I read about Marillion the singer at the Eyrie.
Marillion's biggest hit was a song called 'Kayleigh'.
