Mel and Marcel pull off that hard-to-do pop trick of marrying gritty lyrics to tunes you can sway to. 

Think The Beautiful South, Ian Drury or Morrissey before he lost the plot. But M&M are on the same sparky page with a quirky stage presence and a bunch of strong songs about the lives we lead - and mislead. The Mess in Your Room may just about be the best mother and child disunion song you’ll ever hear…..

(Doug Carnegie, founder editor The One Show)

I never tire of listening to these two…….Some of the smartest and most thought provoking lyrics you will ever hear….hear me when I tell you check them out!!

Our friends Mel & Marcel, if you’ve seen them perform at one of our open mics nights you’ll know it’s a show not to be missed.

I’ve been lucky enough to see Mel & Marcel playing at two gigs now.

With their thought provoking and witty lyrics, as well as great musical skill,

they absolutely made both occasions! Both lovely people. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

We first met Mel & Marcel by accident in a wine bar when they were doing a local gig. We were very impressed by their uniqueness. Mel has a distinct singing voice, Marcel has extensive musical talents. A match made in heaven and we love their lyrics, which are based on real life, people and circumstances. They are great fun and we try to go and see them whenever possible. I asked her to write a song on menopause which she did Hot Hot Hot I love it!

MEL & MARCEL always draw a crowd whether they are performing instore or at one of our street events, with their unique original songs and performances. Fronted by idiosyncratic songwriter Mel Winning whose witty, scrutinizing and sometimes scathing lyrics are driven along by the musical counterpoint of Marcel McClarnon blending pre-recorded rhythms and effects with live instruments their style defies definition. 😁🍻
