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! 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 each time!
The idea of interpreting his father's repertoire had been on Marcel's mind for a while. 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 richly filled oeuvre of Boudewijn.
As one of the most famous singer-songwriters in the Netherlands, Boudewijn de Groot started as a protest singer, and later became known for, 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 DE GROOT, the audience gets a beautiful overview with stories and anecdotes from a unique career. Marcel is happy to share it with you.
