She made it a true party exactly what we needed. The live music gave the evening just that little bit extra. Highly recommended for any company party!
, Wijnfestival Groningen
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!"
