Marion Frances Warden - nickname Mo. On-line name of Rainbow for e-mail, IRC, etc.

Date of Birth: 20th Feb 1955

Place of birth: Leek, Staffs, England

Current residence: Kelty, Fife, Scotland

Family: I live with Pete Oram and I have two sons, Bryn (born 1973) and Ewan (1978) both of whom have left home. Pete has a son (Nick) who is, by choice, just as close.

Became a proud GrandMo to Bryn's daughter Evie on the 13th of March 2007.

Education: Queen Mary's High School, Walsall & then Walsall School of Art for a couple of boring years Art foundation course. Went on to Birmingham College of Jewelry & Silversmithing but quit before the end of the course to get married. Everything else is self-taught.

Occupation: Computer graphics and web designer, self-employed and working with the other half. Previously - 12 years as a games designer, worked on two games that hit no 1 in the all-formats charts, Damocles and Backlash, both on the Atari ST/Amiga for Novagen Ltd. Worked on various games projects for US Gold, Domark, Psygnosis, Anco and DCD. Worked in advertising, have done some 3D work using 3D Studio Max but most of my stuff is via PhotoShop. Also produced the 'Kettle of Fish' CD and video covers for Fish.

Musical experience: First record I bought was 'Love Me Do' by the Beatles. First gig was Deep Purple in 1971. Joined the Beatles fan club in 1966 and the Police fan club in about 1978. First Marillion gig - Birmingham Odeon, March 1983, joined The Web the same week. I've seen Fish on every one of his solo tours, at least twice. Joined The Company in early 1990 and I've been to every Haddington convention.

Hobbies: Watching TV/videos, listening to music, chatting on the Net and playing Quake on-line, housework (more a pastime than a hobby). I'm also the editor of the official Fish web-site.
