"When I heard Marina Florance sing “The Dress”, my ears did a double take – her low velvet tones absolutely blew me away, and tears sprang to my eyes. I felt immediately emotionally connected to this music, to her voice, and to the natural flow of each song…”
“…Her unhurried delivery & heartfelt message hits you every single time, it doesn’t need to rush, it doesn’t need to scream & shout, it just needs room to breathe so the story can be told. Oh my Jesus does she have a wonderful voice…”
These are typical responses to Marina's performance, an award winning songwriter who started performing her own songs later in life than most, to help get her songs a platform. This has proved to be a good move as her songs have been featured by Soundcloud as Track of the Day and recorded by actor Anthony Head, with multiple plays on radio stations around the world. Being booked for Cambridge Folk Festival and then being additionally placed on Stage 2 was a highlight for Marina in 2014. You are in for a treat.
