With acoustic guitar and a dyke of a voice, he plays fantastically beautiful or just the most famous songs. Imagine yourself in an Irish pub, or think of Ed Sheeran (the hair color matches). "An extremely versatile artist, musician and good singer!"
** AFFORDABLE **
A complete live band is expensive, takes up a lot of space, is a lot of hassle. With Maarten, it's a lot simpler and affordable! He brings his own vocal system or arranges with his sound man the right set for your party. Of course everything can be arranged in consultation. Not much space is needed, because Maarten can easily fit in just by himself. This makes booking Maarten especially interesting for smaller parties as well!
** REQUESTS **
Do you want the cosiness at your wedding or company party as you know it from an English or Irish pub? Then Maarten is the one for you. With his 30-year experience on stages at home and abroad, this born
entertainer is at home in all markets. Do you have any requests? Consult in advance or possibly on the evening itself and he will do everything to fulfill your wish.
** REPERTOIRE **
Since Maarten has an enormous oeuvre of Dutch and English songs in his repertoire, you can go in many directions. Do you want background music? Fine! Want to sing along? Absolutely fine! Want a bit of both? No problem!
** SOCIABILITY **
Since the TOP2000 is full of well-known and beautiful songs, it is logical that a large part is included in Maarten's repertoire. Complement that with a good dose of Irish folk from The Dubliners, among others, and a batch of Dutch sing-alongs (from Hazes to De Dijk) and the party is complete. He brings the absolute coziness of a pub or pub to your party or event.
** EXPERIENCE **
Because of his years of experience, Maarten does not stop at playing songs, but will involve the audience wherever possible. Maarten already performed in Belgium, China, Germany, Denmark, France China and of course for years in the Netherlands.

Maarten plays a super repertoire! He responds to the audience and makes it one big party! (via Google)

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 Google)

For both Acting the Maggot, Rooie Rico and Maarten de Gans himself applies: good musician, entertainer in heart and soul, excellent interaction with the audience, a guarantee for an evening full of music, party, happiness. (via Google)

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!

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 of 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! (via Google)

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. (via Google)

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. (via Google)

Maarten is a passionate singer and guitarist, he can adapt effortlessly when playing for the elderly, then swaying in the background. But also with his special band Acting the Maggot he makes beautiful music. (via Google)

Where Maarten, the party is top professional singer with a big warm heart who is a bright spot for many people during the corona period. PETE OFF (via Google)
, Wil
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. (via Google)
