And you performed it in an absolutely masterful way. Your music, your energy and your presence were exactly what we had always imagined. You delighted us!"
Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet
"What a fantastic performance after a wonderful day of workshops. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Marcia sings beautifully and has a wonderful stage presence, really bringing the stories to life.
Her voice and storytelling are beautifully supported by the incredibly talented musicians John, Ronald, Daniel and Christiaan, each of whom captivates the audience from beginning to end with wonderful solos and tight rhythm guitar playing.
Wonderful music, a wonderful band, and it’s lovely to see how much fun you all have playing together. You’ve gained a new fan!"

Always ready to help, she is stunningly professional in the choice of her musicians and of her repertoire. She ends up making everybody happy, but can also move the crown with those wonderful Napolitan ballads. I want more!!!!"
