To follow were many and varied roads:
- Live, acoustic work in Surrey and London 1979-80
- 1982 for a year, played keyboards, percussion and was backing vocalist for a local band called Talk Like That
- Recordings and co-song writing with record producer Eugene Moule 1982/1983 - working at the famous Abbey Road Studios for one of these sessions
- Playing with a local band with friends and fellow musicians, Graeme Taylor (Gryphon/Home Service) and Simon Law (later to join Soul II Soul)
- 1984-86 Session singing
- Solo work and music festival work with Graeme Taylor
- Writing for films and jingles 1987-88
- Lead vocalist in a musical, 'Vincent', written about the life of Vincent Van Gogh 1989-90
- Rehearsing with Graeme Taylor and Laurie Harper (from Pyewackett), with a view to live work, 1989
- Recordings, live work and co song writing with Julie Felix, 1992
- Live work with The Home Service, 1994
- Solo concerts 1994-95
- Live work with The Aldbrickham Band based in Reading, 1990 to date
- Further live work with The Aldbrickham Band performing the Jade songs, 2003
At this point, 2004, the original Jade album was about to be re-issued and the original Jade group reformed to do a special reunion gig in London (documented elsewhere on this site).
Around this time, Richard Allen from Delerium/Lightning Tree Records introduced Marianne to Michael Tyack from Circulus, and Michael asked her to do one of her songs on their first album in 2005. 
He chose her song Swallow. This went onto the album called The Lick On The Tip Of An Envelope Yet To Be Sent, released on Rise Above Records. It was then chosen as the single from the album and it charted at number 3 in the Mojo and NME end of 2005 Readers' Charts.
Marianne joined Circulus at The Underworld gig in London in 2005, to sing her song Swallow live with them.
Marianne has continued writing songs throughout the years. In 2005, she felt sure she wanted to record a new album, and got together with friends, Eddie Hopewell-Ash, Mick Paul and Graeme Taylor to do some pre-recording workouts along with other musicians such as Mike Gregory and Jon Davie (both from The Home Service.)
Later Richard Allen suggested that she join creative forces with Michael Tyack & Circulus to do an album. Both thought about the idea for a year or so and then things got rolling in January 2007 using some of the songs Marianne had rehearsed in 2005. The outcome is a 'Marianne Segal featuring Circulus' album, due to be released later in the summer.
In January 2007, Marianne, Circulus and Alison O'Donnell from Mellow Candle recorded a television slot for BBC2's The Culture Show though this has yet to be broadcast.
