Market Square Heroes

"Market Square Heroes" is the debut single of neo-progressive rock band Marillion, released in 1982 with "Three Boats Down from the Candy" as the B-side. The 12-inch single included an additional track, the 17:15-minute-long "Grendel", making it an EP in terms of overall length.

The A-side is an anthemic rock song whose lyric vaguely describes the rise of civil unrest under some charismatic leader in the face of increasing unemployment; the original title was "UB 2,000,001". According to Marillion's singer and lyricist Fish, the "market square hero" is a ''"would-be revolutionary with all the necessary charisma and presence of a leader without direction or goals, just a sense of frustration and anger"''.〔http://marillion.baldyslaphead.co.uk/albums/Market/MSH.htm〕 The track was the band's ''"first attempt at deliberately writing a hit record and a 'simple' rock song to juxtapose against our meandering but dynamic 'epics'."''〔http://www.marillion.com/music/albums/script.htm〕
Members of the band have attributed the inspiration behind the main character in the song lyrics to a person they knew in Aylesbury who went by the nickname of 'Brick'. In a 2009 interview, Mark Kelly stated: ''"I don't know whether Brick was a leftie, a militant or a skinhead but he was the inspiration for the character singing, "I'm a Market Square Hero"''〔(2009 Interview with Mark Kelly of Marillion at Aylesbury Friars website )〕 Fish made reference to this theme and introduced Brick as a "leftie hero" before he performed the song with his former Marillion bandmates in Aylesbury at the 'Hobble on the Cobbles' concert in 2007.〔(Hobble on the Cobbles 2007, Market Square Aylesbury.
