I am a retired elementary school music teacher from Eugene, Oregon, USA. I’m not exactly sure how I stumbled upon your videos, but I’m awfully glad I did. To see a family with such musical skills, employing them with joy and purpose, is a wonderful experience. Family group singers are special with their very blendable voices, and your group is no exception. Your harmonies are tight, at times beautifully unexpected, and very well performed. I give a hearty round of applause for your arranger(s). Including the instrumental skills of each family member makes each song a delight. Your music touched me tremendously. For whatever period of time you continue making music together, continue making it with caring, kindness and joy in your hearts. You are very special, and I now have a new group to follow! Bless you all for sharing with the world!
Awesome! I've been following you since the pandemic, and I just love watching and hearing how your children and their talents grow. Ella's voice has matured to such a full, mellow mezzo - I just can't get enough of it. Alfie and Thomas will have to wait a little longer for their voices to reach full maturity (sorry, guys, that's just the curse of being guys 😉), but if what they sound like now is any indication, they should sound phenomenal when that happens. Tess's high voice, sweet as always, is like icing on the cake. Ben and Danielle have always sounded so good that when I first came across your videos, I thought you were a pair of professional musicians raising a band. It's always a treat to hear you.
Thank you to Ben and the Marsh family, they allowed me and sent me a copy of Wayfaring Stranger, which we used in a slide show for my mums funeral she went home to her father, mother, brothers and welcomed into the arms of her sisters, thank you is all I can say 💔🙏🏼
What a beautiful antidote for all the hatred that is currently arising for healing in the world. Thank you for the beautiful gift of light and love you are expressing through the common language of music 🙏🫂💚xx
Thank you for your incredibly powerful song. It was so heartfelt and raw. You are always on the pulse. I too pray for peace in the Middle East. My prayers are with all the people, children suffering. ❤😢
Dearest Marsh family, my 92 yr old momma and I have been watching your videos since the pandemic. Why a HUGE blessing you have been on both of us. My mom doesn't have grandchildren, so she gets so much joy watching the kids grow up. We were sitting here in tears watching you this evening. Just beautiful!! We also got into watching the former Dean of Canterbury Robert Wills' Garden Congregation. We have never been to England, but we sure wish we could jump on a plane and visit Canterbury. Keep writing and singing. Your hearts and voices are being heard! (SoCal viewer here)
"And here we see the Marsh people out of their home habitat treating us to the power of three. Three powerful songs. Three wonderful treats. Thank you Marsh people" 👏👏👏
Wait a minute, I commented far far to soon. I should have waited until the finish of Poor Wayfaring stranger......that was absolutely magnificent. How can a family have such talent? But thankfully you do. I never tire of listening to you. Thank you for making this world a better place.
You guys made me cry. This was so beautiful and what a great arrangement. Always loved your home videos but this just took it to another level. I really hope I get to see you perform someday :) Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent as always. Appreciating the thought that goes into these songs - example? Thomas' single light taps on the cymbal during his verse. Just enough, at just the right time, for the overall form of the piece.
Another fantastic video guys, the purity of Ella’s voice here is truly mesmerising, and I love the beauty of Tess’s enunciation put together with the excellence of the collective sound and amazing musicianship made for a very pleasurable experience. Thank you for sharing this & please never stop!!!! 😊
Wow, that was amazing! Great live set, you totally nailed it guys, 100% well done. I had never heard 'Weyfarer' before, so emotive, so haunting yet uplifting and inspiring all at once, yes, please release it. Thank you guys, you made my day x
Versatile, strong, uniquely blended, beautiful, incredible, meaningful - much more than all these together. Thank you, can’t even put into words quite how inspiring and talented you are, each individually and together. What an amazing family.
I'm giving you a standing ovation. That was great. I'm thinking back to my youth days when I heard "family" groups like the Cowsills and Partridge Family. The Marsh Family Band is better. Your arrangements are exquisite. Bridge Over Troubled Water took me back to sitting in my room and hearing it for the first time on the radio right after it came out. This was a great experience. Thank you
I'm in the same situation, but my 4-legged companions are a few more. One cat, a dog who guards me and my tiny ranch, a few chickens, and 10 large goats. Isn't it sad when so many people have either died or passed you by for newer, more prestigious friends?
I’m going through a hard patch in my life right now. I heard, and felt every word of those songs on so many levels. I’m crying my eyes out. But good music is supposed to do that.😀 Beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
Love what you guys are doing ❤ Your music is incredibly powerful and a voice of love and compassion in a world where there is too much anger and hate 😢
Fabulous as always, Marsh family. You sing what is in my heart better than I can say it. It's so helpful to have your songs to share on socials, to change views in an entertaining and enjoyable way. Blessings to you all ❤
You guys are really making a great contribution to all of us in these difficult times. “To see your face again” was surely the most poignant, it really touched the heart of tragedies and crises all over the world.
Bridge troubled over water always give me goosebumps it very emotional 🥹 it reminds me of all the troubles I been through my life with my autism and my anxiety and depression xxxxx
Wonderful to hear and see your live performance, and well done! Love hearing you do heartful songs, it's a nice break from satire. Strange coincidence of timing, these songs gather more weight with the war in Gaza now.
This performance reminded me of why I have loved the Marsh family since they first began on RU-vid. They are a beautiful and talented family that makes the world a better place by sharing their wonderful voices and musical abilities. It has been a pleasure to watch the children mature both physically and musically through the years. I certainly hope this family keeps entertaining us for many years to come!
Truly inspiring... loved all 3 songs so great to see you live... amazing music that transcends language and cultural barriers.. your harmonies will harmonise communities and speak ..May many more follow. Those of us lucky to listen to you need to do our bit and share this so many more people can see and hear and be inspired by your actions
Tess voice on the last song was crystal clear and brilliant, and Ellas vocals are just amazing every time, instrument playing was reallt good and getting better everytime
You are the most kindest family ever xxx I am so glad and blessed 🥲 to know you guys xx I am so proud of you all xx you brought love and happiness to my life you are so talented xx thank you for getting me out of a dark place though Covid xxx
This was so impressive doing it Live, You guys were Great! Love all the Voices, and ELLA, to stand out in front of the Crowd with Poise, at 14 was fantastic to see! Love you All from Canada
Not many artists today can pull off a live concert without Auto-Tune and a whole production house, much less everyone in their band - but you all do! Stupid talented, every one of you (that's American for stupid good 😉)
I JUST love your family!!!! I wish I was musically talented BUT I do really enjoy listening to it and uplifting the soul. Thank you !! Kia ora from NZ - Arohanui to you all.
By all means, do a recording of that adapted Wayfaring Stranger! That's the version I'll be singing in my head whenever and wherever I hear anyone singing it!
Every cloud has a silver lining so the saying goes. As I was listening to the Marsh Family singing I realised that Covid was the cloud and the Marsh Family were the silver lining (one of them).
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much. Until I see your face again should be played on every radio station, it’s that good and will mean something to everyone who has lost someone special. xx
Absolutely amazing, the last song really hit home for me 💔 as sadly my mums seriously ill in hospital 😢 sadly today Sunday the 22nd October my mum lost her life, I’ll miss her so much but know she’s out of pain, sleep well mum love you 💔💔💔💔
OMG, that was amazing, truly divine. I just wish you had a multi angle view. What you did here was very helpful for bringing attention to refugees and their plight. I love all your music and songs so am biased but 'Wayfaring Stranger' is something I would love to hear you sing again. I think this could be a Christmas song for the Marsh family as it pulls at the heart ! Thank you so much for uploading this. 📿🙏 BTW, you reminded me of The Kelly Family, this was something similar. They can be found on YT also.
The Marsh family is one of my favourite English families - well, actually the only English family I know. 😆 And _Bridge over troubled water_ is one of my favourite Simon & Garfunkel songs! 🎵🎶 Breathtaking, wonderful, touching songs (I didn't know the last one!) and performance, Ella and Tess's voice are simply beautiful! 🎤
I have been a follower of yours for awhile, and absolutely love your satirical and creative songs. This was another spectacular performance. As a fan from across the pond, I must ask; "So, when are you planning to cut an album? " Albums with what you've presented in this video, as well as the humorous, satirical videos I've come to admire.
Marvelous. Thank you for sharing that live performance with all of us. You all have really grown and blossomed over the past 3.5 years. The world is honored to have you in it. ❤
