Mirthe plays SOLO gigs.

Voice, guitar, piano and Celtic harp: Mirthe goes from one accompanying instrument to another.

A standard gig lasts 2x 45 min. and contains mostly compositions with a couple of translated songs, and a few covers. Style: acoustic folk rock, multilingual and multi-instrumental.

The repertoire:

1. *MIRTHE SINGS MIRTHE
   Mirthe sings her passions, her loves and her convictions with original songs. Lyrics and music by Mirthe and/or Rémy Verneuil. Songs mostly in French, but there are also songs in English, Dutch and Frisian.
   A couple of titles: “Je nous aime”, “J’irai bien voir ailleurs”, “Sur une barricade” and lots of others...
   

2. *THE TRADUITIONALS
   Something new with something old! The stories and the emotions of American, Irish and British traditionals and standards translated into French. Translations by Rémy Verneuil, arrangements by Mirthe.

3. *BOB DYLAN IN FRENCH
   The poetry of the American troubadour now also accessible to French speakers. Translator Rémy Verneuil stayed as close as possible to the content, meaning and meter of the original songs.
