Marlow Inside/Outside Vince Clarke Video

Taken from a new interview with Subject:2-

Is MARLOW currently just taking a creative break, or have you finally given up on this project?

Gary: I remember it well! Budapest is such a beautiful city; I had my first taste of UNICUM that day! Where better could there be to premier ’Run Away’. ’Run Away’ was from a collection of songs I had written while working with Rob on Marlow. It wasn’t Rob’s cup of tea, too schmaltzy! As we struggled to find a way to work on ‘The Future’ I eventually suggested that Rob pick some songs that I had written and we would give them a Marlow twang, to round out the album. Between that decision and the album being released, it all went wrong. Our working relationship became increasingly strained and I called it a day. We did not speak for a good couple of years. We have since then got back in touch. We have performed a few gigs under the banner MARLOW & STARKY. We have worked on new material with a view to an album but I am not sure if anything will ever happen

Robert Allen (Marlow) passed away yesterday, Thursday 22nd September, after a short and unexpected illness. His family have asked me to share this here as Rob had so many friends and they have no way to make contact with everyone personally. Please would you let other people know what has happened. Details of the arrangements to follow.



Pughie- as seen in the photos I had the pleasure of meeting Robert many times,and saw him perform live multiple times,he was such a nice guy it’s very sad to hear this news.
