Marcel de Groot sings Boudewijn

Both at the Sinksenfeesten Kortrijk and at the Gentse Feesten 2025, both squares were closed due to the large turnout for the concert of Marcel de Groot! The proof that Boudewijn’s songs are still very much alive, and they were sung along with full lungs by an enthusiastic audience! The idea to interpret his father’s repertoire had been playing in Marcel’s head for a long time. With multi-instrumentalists Martin Bakker (Nits, Freek de Jonge …) and Rens van der Zalm (Frank Boeijen, Youp van ’t Hek …) son Marcel goes browsing through the rich oeuvre of Boudewijn. As one of the most famous singer-songwriters in the Netherlands, Boudewijn de Groot started as a protest singer, and then became famous with, among others, ‘Welterusten meneer de president’, ‘Het Land van Maas en Waal’, ‘Als de rook om je hoofd is verdwenen’, ‘Prikkebeen’, ‘Jimmy’ … In ‘Marcel zingt Boudewijn’, the audience gets a beautiful overview with stories and anecdotes from a unique career. Marcel is happy to share it with you.
