Fish Booking Agency Profile

Book Fish for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
FISH is a stage name for Derek William Dick, a Scottish singer-songwriter and actor. As the principal vocalist and lyricist of the neo-progressive rock band Marillion, he rose to fame. In the course of his solo career, he has experimented with both traditional rock and pop.
Music journalists have lauded Fish for his voice, which has been compared to Peter Gabriel and Roger Daltrey while also being regarded as "unique" and have called his songs "beautiful prose." The listeners of Planet Rock ranked Fish as the 37th best rock vocalist. With the band, he released five Top Ten albums, including a number-one with Misplaced Childhood and eleven UK Top 40 singles, including the Top Ten hits "Kayleigh," "Lavender" and "Incommunicado."
On their list of "The 100 Greatest Frontmen," Classic Rock put Fish at number 49 and noted that his "theatrical delivery" was "a crucial component in Marillion's meteoric rise and he masterminded some uniquely ornate lyrical notions." Weltschmerz, which translates to "world-weariness" in German, was Fish's final studio album and it was well received critically and commercially..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Fish to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Fish in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Fish or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Fish's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Fish for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Fish, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Fish. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Fish booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Fish for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Fish booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Fish charge for an event. An example fee to book Fish is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Fish agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Fish manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Fish for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Fish agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Fish, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Fish booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Fish, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
