"Wearing a floor-length red dress, she looked every inch the glamorous stage diva, her down to earth approach however warmed her to the audience, with lots of self-depreciation and jokes – telling the audience that in her mind, it was still 1957! The music certainly fitted that era and we enjoyed listening to her take on classic songs.

Mari and her band delivered a lovely and relaxing set. Each song was like being back in a time-warp, as the whole vibe was definitely of a more gentle and a pace that is not often found in today’s music market. Our favourite songs of the evening included I Only Want to Be With You, I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself – which she delivered the lyrics in the song so perfectly and she meant every line of the song. Closing my eyes to listen to her sing was soothing, those kind of vocals are rarely heard today." Carys Jones, Entertainment Focus
