MARCEL de GROOT
MARCEL sings BOUDEWIJN
Both at the Sinksenfeesten Kortrijk and at the Gentse Feesten 2025, both squares were closed off 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 to at the top of their lungs by an enthusiastic audience every time!
The idea of interpreting his father's repertoire had been 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 known 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 sings Boudewijn’, the audience gets a beautiful overview with stories and anecdotes from a unique career. Marcel likes to share it with you.
