Mel & Marcel Alt Pop Duo
During the pandemic Mel, a former songwriter and West End performer in The Rocky Horror Show, started writing comedy sketches and songs to help cheer up lock down spirits with the aid of her musician and producer husband Marcel and the internet. After Covid, Mel and Marcel continued their journey with live gigs and films that illustrate their songs, producing and recording from their home a former Georgian pub in Manningtree Essex.
“Our quirky songs are all about life, waiting at stations looking for missing trains, coping with noisy families, celebrating Essex girls, going to funerals, anxiety. These songs are comments on life for all ages and reflect our experience of being parents and having had a life lived on the London art scene. As we get older and have more space, we are loving playing live and the reaction from the crowd as they smile in recognition of our stories being everyone’s stories.”
We are looking forward to future projects and a cameo appearance by Mel & Marcel in a new feature film Love Without Walls by director Jane Gull soon to be released.
