| | Mick Pointer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mick Pointer was the original drummer and founding member of the progressive rock band Marillion. | | | Pointer later formed the band Arena with Clive Nolan, after a longer break from the music business. | | | According to Fish, 1984's song Assassing from the Fugazi album deals at least in part with the sacking of band members in the early years of Marillion. |

| | MICK POINTER BAND - Jack And The Progressive Beanstalk |
| | The song is very emotional proving that Mick Pointer is a great songwriter, lyrisist, drummer and a talented singer too. | | | The final track on this album shows us that Mick knows how to give the punters what they want. | | | The new album is a concept, based on the children’s story, "Jack and the Beanstalk". |

| | Marillion - Written by Claus Nygaard |
| | In Mick Pointer's words, Silmarillion was incredible unfashionable, but decided to play just the style of music they liked the best: "When we first started Silmarillion, Punk was still happening, we were so incredible unfashionable (laughs), really unfashionable. | | | At least for the next twenty years, after which Mick one day in the rehearsal studio, working in the context of his present band Arena, was reintroduced to Neil, who himself had been using the same rehearsal studio for quite a time, now playing in another band. | | | But at present that was indeed futuristic, Silmarillion had just done their first gig as an instrumental four piece, and by the way none of the current members of the band would be in Marillion when their second album was to be released in 1984. |

| | Marillion - Written by Claus Nygaard |
| | The story goes that Mick, when looking for a new name for the band, just happened to have a copy of "Silmarillion" on his bookshelf, which he hadn't read, and thought it was a proper name for the "new" band. | | | Actually this was not Mick's first job as a drummer, he had been playing with the local band Stockade for a short period the previous year. | | | Together Mick and Doug formed their new band in early 1978 and they named it Silmarillion, just to put behind the unsuccessful past and mark the beginning of a new era. |

| | Progressive Ears Album Reviews |
| | Arena were the brainchild of Pendragon keyboardist Clive Nolan and ex Marillion drummer Mick Pointer. | | | Simply put this was the album that saw Arena break free from the Marillion chains and put together an album that was to be the best yet and indeed the strongest selling at that point of time. | | | In 1995 they released Songs From The Lions Cage which in truth was a recycle of Fish era Marillion but with better musicianship in my opinion. |

| | Ground and Sky review - Arena - Songs from the Lions Cage |
| | After Mick Pointer was booted from Marillion 's drum stool by Fish, he pretty much withdrew from music to focus on his business and family. | | | Arena was formed in the mid-90s by keyboardist Clive Nolan (the man of a million projects, although this remains his main one) and drummer Mick Pointer, former cast-off of Marillion. | | | And by "new," I mean in the neo-prog style established in the 1980's by Clive's and Mick's other bands, but updated with an epic hard rock edge. |

| | Band "Arena" -- Arena Biography, Arena Discography, Arena Members and more... |
| | Typical for the album are the short instrumental interludes (the Crying For Help-series) that separate the non-instrumental tracks; a format that returns on their next album. | | | The first album of Arena, then consisting of Clive Nolan and Mick Pointer plus Cliff Orsi (bass), Keith More (guitar) and John Carson (vocals), sees the light. | | | This excellent piece of work, entitled Songs From The Lions Cage and released on Arena's own Verglas label, is very well-received and a new progressive rock legend has instantly been born. |

| | Marillion - Written by Claus Nygaard |
| | With a well written record contract in the drawer and a well written album in the pipeline, Marillion experienced their 5th New Year with Mick Pointer in the drummers chair. | | | Firing Mick Pointer was indeed a hard decision to take, cause when it all comes down to basics Mick was responsible for the band's existence! | | | Every new member joining hithero had been able to kick a lot of inspiration and personal touch into Marillion's music, which were to show on their debut album soon to be released. |

| | Seriously, the real song everybody had been waiting for closed the set; a nearly perfect version of Marillion's 18 minute epic Grendel, a song Mick pointer co-wrote. | | | He walked back to the drum kit and the band went into a version of Fools Gold, which was played quite well, except for a few minor mistakes. | | | It just doesn't sound like it does on the album. |

| | The conceptual themes of this album are carried along by recurring lyrical references throughout the disc. | | | The Marillion sounds are a natural, since this band was formed by former Marillo Mick Pointer along with Pendragon's Clive Nolan. | | | A fine concept album, this one has many great prog elements, most notably Pink Floyd and Marillion. |

| | Arena - The Cry |
| | Towards the end Mick Pointer’s drum work becomes very heavy before the song ends very suddenly. | | | Meanwhile the band have grown from album to album and after various changes in the line-up have nevertheless found themselves in the company of bands like Spock’s Beard and Flower Kings. | | | Created between the two major Arena albums, this song comes very close to the better Marillion work as Paul Wrightson sings very Fish-like as well. |

| | ARENA - neoprog rock - Clive Nolan - think Marillion - "Eclectic Earwig Reviews Music and More for You!" |
| | First, they’ve traded in their old bass player for a fellow named Ian Salmon who does a serviceable job throughout the entire album and seems to be a good fit with Mick Pointer’s drumming to provide a steady rhythm section. | | | On the guitar end of things, I’ll just say that if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Marillion’s Steve Rothery must be blushing because Arena ’s guitarist John Mitchell serves up a heaping helping of solos that seems ripped straight for Marillion’s sheet music. | | | Since their last studio album, Arena made a couple of lineup changes. |

| | ARENA: Welcome To The Stage/The Visitor/Breakfast in Bairritz/Immortal? |
| | Though this is a nearly perfectly complete album there is a moment or two when the music does come dangerously close to others works for instance, if that isn’t exactly the same guitar line in “Waiting for the Flood” that Queensryche used in their “Silent Lucidity” it is still too close. | | | Arena consists of Paul Wrightson on Vocals, John Mitchell on Guitars, Clive Nolan on Keyboards of Pendragon, Shadowland, Stranger on a Train and Casino, John Jowitt on Bass when not playing with IQ, and Mick Pointer who used to be with Marillion. | | | There is an overload of technical proficiency amongst ARENA’s players, Rob Sowden — vocals, John Mitchell — guitars, Clive Nolan — keys, Ian Salmon — bass and Mick Pointer — drums, but the musicianship is all in service to the individual songs, there being only seven of so that Prog-Rock convention is also maintained here. |

| | The English prog rockers of Clive Nolan and Mick Pointer do so with their sixth studio album “Pepper’s Ghost.“ Arena’s new work is not only a worthy successor of “Contagion“ but the most courageous, powerful and varied album in the band’s history. | | | And so Clive Nolan, drummer Mick Pointer, guitarist John Mitchell, singer and guitarist Rob Sowden as well as bassist Ian Salmon appear not only as comic heroes on the album cover but you can read a story about each of them printed in the booklet. | | | It makes particularly fun with the first edition of the album that is a lavishly designed digibook whose artwork was again made by designer David Wyatt (www.david.wyatt.btinternet.co.uk) who is well-known for his illustrations for childrens’ books and for Tolkien. |

| | Mick Pointer, Marillion 's original drummer was persuaded to emerge from retirement by the lunatics at Silhobbit 'fanzine', a thoroughly scurrilous but excellent and extremely funny read, with several entirely non-sequentially numbered issues appearing sporadically throughout the early '90s. | | | Once Mick realised that there were people out there who actually wanted to hear him play again, he teamed up with erstwhile Pendragon keyboardist Clive Nolan and an ever-changing cast of sidemen to play full-on prog, with all the pomp and circumstance you'd expect from such a venture. | | | Arena are a neo-prog supergroup, if there can be such a thing in such a relatively small scene. |

| | The band are on top form musically, with Clive Nolan romping away on his keyboards (including the OTT keyboard driven instrumental ‘Riding The Tide’) and drummer Mick Pointer providing a solid backbeat. | | | Guitarist John Mitchell has to be one of the best guitarists in the prog scene at the moment, he can switch from heavy rhythm parts to fast soloing. | | | The band rip through the new tunes like ‘Witch Hunt’, the mellow ‘An Angel Falls’ and the ultra heavy ‘Painted Man’. |

| | ARENA haben den Neo Prog nun wahrlich nicht neu erfunden und diverse MARILLION Anleihen sind nach wie vor auszumachen, aber dennoch haben die Jungs um Clive Nolan und Mick Pointer immer solide Leistungen abgeliefert und eine gewisse Entwicklung durchgemacht, was man von Album zu Album auch hören konnte. | | | Angeblich gibt es noch Leute, die ARENA immer noch als kleinen MARILLION-Ableger ansehen - nur weil Mick Pointer früher bei dieser legendären Formation die Drumsticks geschwungen hat und weil das ARENA Debütalbum Song's From The Lion's Cage seinerzeit in der Tat nach Micks ehemaliger Gruppe geklungen hat. | | | Aber heutzutage muss man doch zugeben, dass sich ARENA im Laufe der Zeit durchaus einen eigenen Stil erarbeitet haben, und in Progressive Rock Fankreisen zu recht hoch angesehen sind. |
