Great

"Else Merit" brought a great musical atmosphere on April 3, 2025 during the closing night of the Enjoy Hotels group tour at Hotel Spoorzicht! Her repertoire perfectly matched the guests of Enjoy Hotels and created a nice, relaxed atmosphere. With her energetic appearance and flawless voice she felt the audience perfectly and switched effortlessly between different styles. Her live music provided the extra atmosphere we were looking for and made the evening unforgettable. Thank you, Else!"

Super performance!

Else Merit gave a very nice performance during the Wine Festival at the A-Church in Groningen! Together with guitarist Elton she brought atmosphere through the chosen repertoire that fitted well with the festival. What was also very nice is that we could discuss the desired desired music genre. In addition, during the performance they felt the audience of the festival audience and could quickly switch to more upbeat songs when necessary songs. The build-up was therefore very nice. All in all, the live music at this Friday edition provided just that piece of extra atmosphere we were looking for." "Thanks!"
