Michael Marra's recent gigs at An Tobar and the following night at The Ship in Glasgow are getting great reviews in other forums - These from contributors to the wonderful Footstompin' Forum -
"The Marra man was superb, the guy is so talented it must make
singer/songwriters weep, each song is so different with a story and a
life of it's own. I think this man could capture any audience, he
makes each song unique and he takes you on the journey with him. The Peerie Willie song one to make you laugh and cry. The song about his forefather's relation buried overseas after a family tiff was another highlight. His backing crew were ace also."
"Michael Marra is amazing. Just talking to him is fun as his turn of
phrase is brilliant - he takes the simplest of things and makes you
want to listen. He is a true poet. I always think of him in a 'Burns'
vain because as well as being a superb wordsmith, all of his songs
have great humanity in them as well. He is definitely not recognised
enough."
"Michael Marra and band were absolutely fantastic on the Tall Ship
tonight. What a brilliant gig. It looked like a full house to me and
the sound and atmosphere was terrific"
"Aye, it was a cracking gig for the place itself as much as the band,
who played a stormer. Mr Marra's an amazing man."
"Great show from Michael Marra at the Tall Ship last night and
wonderful to hear Michael at last with a proper band highlighting his
latest set of recordings."
