…..Further down the street the temperamental Mariëlla Tirotto with her Blues Federation, featuring Harald Koll (guitar, bass), Michel de Kok (Blues Harp), Heins Greten (bass, piano) und John Kakiay (drums) honours the audience with her presence. Although you can hardly tell by the bands name, they are a band from the Netherlands; however, Mariëlla Tirotto is half-Italian. In her white dress she presents herself not only as a messenger of spring but also as a distinctly fascinating singer, that totally convinces with her deep, raw, or, to put it bluntly, erotic voice.

Even though „Flames“ isn’t really crowded, Mariëlla and her boys rock the place with their lively trips into the world of Jazz-, Funk- and -Latin rock, it doesn’t affect the good mood at all.
