The fantastic singer/guitarist and violinist of Irish party folk band Acting The Maggot, but now as a duo. From Irish to pop to Christmas, this duo together can go in any direction with their music.

Two faces from Holland's best Irish party folk band - Acting The Maggot - also perform as a duo at weddings, parties and at Christmas parties or New Year's receptions. You can go in any direction with this duo.

Do you want an Irish party or bar setting as you would expect in The Temple Bar in Dublin? Want to turn your corporate party into an Irish Pub? No problem. Want to propose marriage and make it extra special? No problem. Want a Christmas drinks party with spherical sounds, Christmas music and whatever sing-alongs? No problem. These musicians are professional and can go in any direction. Requests may of course be submitted.

Very experienced with public and private events such as company parties, New Year's parties, Christmas parties etc.

They have played many times at receptions and are also invited abroad for wedding proposals. With their own bands they performed in many European countries but also far beyond Europe.

Now you can also book them for your ceremony or event! A mini band of two. From atmospheric background to steaming party sounds. Maarten and Danielle aka Acting The Maggot as DUO!

In small settings up to 75 people, a small sound set can be brought at an additional cost of € 150. Need more sound? No problem. Up to 150 people, the duo can also bring their own sound. The additional cost is € 250
Need even more sound (for a larger group of people?
Then we will bring in our own sound man or hire something ourselves. This way we make it a lot easier for you!

great performance by Maarten the Goose

Maarten managed to let us (a bit older company), go wild. A great interpretation during the buffet in the context of our 50th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed it. Highly recommended!

Party

What a party artist. Seen him during carnival and then immediately booked for our private party and he managed to turn the whole place upside down with his humor and energy. Absolute must for your party!

Fantastic show

Seen at Kamping Kitsch in Kortrijk. Fantastic show, and even getting the whole audience along with just a guitar. Blessed! More gigs in Belgium please, because you are the best!

Wonderful

I knew Maarten de Gans from different stage creations and I have to say I love them all. Solo or with band (btw very talented musicians) he can amaze and entertain me. It’s always great time and a lot wonderful memmories from NL. He has great contact with audience... it seems like he is singing just for you. During 2020- covid time I had possibilities to hear Him online- that was a great time ... anyway I’ll be back to see Him/Them live. You can not miss it too!

Special voice

For me, Maarten stands for musicality in Optima Forma. His special voice and talent are unique. I got to know the artist Maarten de Gans as lead singer of the party band Tranen met Tuite. After that I frequently enjoyed his Irish vocals with his band Acting the Maggot and as a solo artist on Sunday afternoons with various genres. Also as Rooie Rico during carnival he turns the place upside down in no time! In each of the above performances are quality and professionalism guaranteed. Craftsmanship at the top! And also a Brabander with his heart in the right place given his many selfless performances at all kinds of residential care facilities during the corona period.

Even better than hoped for

Maarten has his heart in the right place. He is a good person, sociable and a top singer / entertainer. I was lucky enough to have him perform with Acting the Maggot at a private party and it was an instant FIGHT! Maarten can also touch people solo with his musical talent. Are you looking for musical entertainment? Then definitely get in touch with Maarten. You will get the party you were hoping for, but then even better

Variety Artist

An artist who, both solo and with his band, with Dutch music and his humor gets the audience on board in no time. Absolutely recommended for a great party night, where you can reminisce for a long time. Also with his top 40 work, his Irish and English music, both solo or with his band Acting the Maggot guarantees a very nice musical evening. Maarten is a born artist. Once you have experienced him on an evening of music you will want to see and hear him more often.

A party

Maarten makes it a party! At a performance with Maarten there is immediately a cozy atmosphere. Standing still and being still is just not possible anymore. You want to sing and dance along. Also a big fat compliment for the special, voluntary, corona concerts that Maarten gave. Many people, including mainly elderly and disabled people got during the lockdown and black time a very broad smile on their face again (via E-mail)

Fantastic voice

Fantastic voice I enjoy his "entertainment" and fantastic voice every time he performs. In the beginning with Rutger & die Rooie, and afterwards with a wonderful team of musicians around him where especially the performance at the Spoorzone in Boxtel still regularly comes to mind, but, ehh..... what he did during this terrible Corona period as a solo singer, with his golden clicker AND his golden heart, at the various nursing homes borders on the unbelievable. Elderly people, mostly demented, who spontaneously start clapping, singing or dancing along, get from Maarten the "sunshine" they have been waiting for for a long time, and I was there, I saw it happen, and I got goose bumps and waited quietly whether feathers would start growing!

Good with the people

Acting The Maggot played with us during our 35th wedding anniversary. A party with a fantasy, medieval theme. And it was super. The band gets the audience all the way, and is very excited. I've also heard nothing but positive noises from the guests.
