Marc Block has been performing most of his life. A singer from an early age, he also loved acting until seven drama schools turned him down at age 18, and his new-found love of writing songs and guitar-playing took over. He first appeared at a folk club at the Rutland Angler in Oakham in 1984 with the group Fiddler’s Elbow, and was booked for his first paid gig, with Tony Wells as The Unison Twins, in 1986 by the Acoustic Alternative at the Magazine in Leicester. He then dithered and dabbled on the fringes of the folk scene for many years, eventually getting occasional gigs, and becoming known as driver and accompanist to the great Roy Bailey in the last years of his life. He made three critically acclaimed albums in 2013, 2016 and 2020, with the majority of the CDs still taking up valuable storage space

Trained as a Musician in Healthcare, Marc now focuses on running Wellspring Music CIC and is not regularly gigging any more.

Marc helps to run the Bar Stage at Towersey Festival, and co-ordinates performance at Queer Spirit Festival, probably the only festival of its kind in Europe.
