We are
delighted to see Marie back with us at Fylde. She is
no doubt one of the
most popular singers in this area during
the past twenty years

She has the sort of direct ethnic approach that
makes Jenny Beaching and
Vin Garbutt so immediately appealing. What is
remarkable and surprising is
that when she sings she turns out to have
the rich, pure tones of which
international folk superstars are made, if
she were to care about such things,
- which I rather doubt .

Marie has a wonderful voice with which she
delivers a marvellous array of carefully
chosen songs with rare passion.
She has an infectious enthusiasm about her which
draws you into her
performance and makes you feel canny.
Bernie Forkin , Wigan Festival |
Most singers feel it important to include a high
measure of 'topical ' songs that
show some social conscience. This
has always been the case with singers like
Marie and yet it is obvious
to her that entertainment is the name of the game.
Hence her repertoire
of songs veers through cotton songs, mining songs ,
music hall, country
and pop songs, and judging by her popularity it is a winning
combination
, yet she manages to stamp her style on each song with ease .

Marie is a Festival & Concert organiser's dream -
-
always professional and enthusiastic she will 'muck in ' readily
for events and sessions like ' Chance to Meet '
synergising with other artists .
Totally flexible - minimum Sound Checks & Acoustic ,
she will even MC herself
- - and anyone else around.

. we had heard
that the place to be on Sunday evening. . .
the final singaround. . .
. . the chap who was MC-ing did an amazing job. (
= Terry Shea -
Guisborough
Folk Club
Ed. )
. how he kept going was anyone's guess but
he did.
Guess who finished the singaround off ?
Vin Garbutt
, Marie Little
and
a chap called Pete Betts
.....
I must
say it was the
best finish to a singaround I've ever been to. It went on and on
and on . . . . .
