"An evening
which is certainly guaranteed to leave you
wanting more" |

| "There's
not much we can say about this lady (lady?)
that people hereabouts don't already know.
She's warm & friendly, she's funny, she's
deadly serious, scandalously rude (and gets
away with it), she has time for a word with
everyone she meets, and she's got a great
voice ......... it's wonderful to have her
back again" |

"We
are delighted to see Marie back with us at
Fylde. She is without doubt one of the most
popular singers in this area during the past
twenty years" |
|
- Alan Bell,
Fylde Festival |
| "She has
the sort of direct local ethnic approach
that makes Jenny Beaching and Vin Garbutt so
immediately appealing. What is remarkable
and suprising is that when she sings she
turns out to have the sort of rich, pure
tones of which international folk superstars
are made, if she were to care about such
things, which I rather doubt." |
|
- Karl Dallas,
Melody Maker |
| "Most
singers feel it important to include a high
measure of 'topical' songs that show some
social conscience. This has always been the
case with singers like Marie, and yet it is
obvious to her that entertainment is the
name of the game. Hence her repertoire of
songs veers through cotton songs, mining
songs, music hall, country and pop songs,
and judging by her popularity it is a
winning combination, yet she manages to
stamp her style on each song with ease" |
