Last I heard Jamie was in a clinic with a smack habit...  Yes, "The Program" was their second album. I rate it higher than the first, in fact it's one of my very favourites. Always makes me feel incredibly emotional, like no other album, except perhaps for the Only Ones.  Like I said, it was criminally underrated, almost ignored, by the music press at the time, and I'm sure that lack of response contributed to Marion breaking up not long after it was released. Sounds like they had all sorts of difficulties at the time - like the record company not supporting them, an attempt to break America put on hold, etc.  Jaime did have a smack habit, but the last I heard he was clean. (That was at the beginning of this year). And I heard that at New Year he joined Phil Cunningham's band Label onstage in Macclesfield , and sang a couple of Marion songs.  It would be wonderful if he was writing and performing again, but obviously only if he's happy doing that. Fingers crossed for him.  I recommend listening to "The Program" if you can - if you love music, you won't be disappointed.  Cheers,  StarSparkle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
