"Canterbury Welcomes Refugees" Marsh Family LIVE set of 3 songs - incl. Bridge Over Troubled Water

[@robynboling9833]

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!

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 💔🙏🏼

[@mar4kl]

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.

[@margareturwin5840]

Thank you Marsh family, i could listen to you all day xxx

[@ivorsmith3999]

Such a talented family!

[@clairejeannette8454]

Thank you from the Bay Area of California, USA!

[@SteveRawcliffe]

What a moving set, and great to know that Canterbury welcomes Refugees and Canterbury for Ukraine exist!

[@mickb44]

LOL and everyone else doesnt matter

[@ButeoBio_nHi_Story]

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!

[@staceys1870]

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)

[@juliasurtshin2770]

Wayfaring Stranger hits a chord as I wait for a family of Ukrainian refugees to receive permission to enter the US and join me in safety.

[@sharonjames1255]

This was some of the best music I have ever heard you guys do. It was beautiful and I loved it!!! God bless you.

[@rosemaryr.471]

Wonderful, thank you all so much for this. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@TheGateway37]

Great performance Family Marsh. Very privileged to hear these songs live on this platform.

[@fredsimmons2793]

Amen, Wayfaring Stranger struck a real cord,they sing it like they live it.

[@sallygreavesbrown1396]

What a wholesome family! ❤

[@SH-lx6re]

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. ❤😢

[@lindagumbleton6569]

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

[@darrellNZL]

"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" 👏👏👏

[@winonalovers]

Love this sooo much! Everybody sang and played so well! More live gigs in the future, please!!!

[@berniesteadman7642]

Fantastic renditions of the 3 songs. I'm adding my remote clapping of hands to the end of the performance. Well done

[@aruba1158]

Light and love comes through you into this world. Beautiful and strong❣️

[@aprilfool8329]

This performance reminded me of why I have loved the Marsh family since they first began on KZbin. 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!

[@12theotherandrew]

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.

[@ddieter603]

Bawling: "Wayfaring Stranger" hit me right in the feels. My parents and one of my two brothers have passed on. Much goodwill from Tampa, Florida, U.S.

[@staceys1870]

Bless you a million times over. I'm watching and crying myself right now....

[@WoefulMinion]

Same. Today would have been my mother's birthday. We lost her in February.

[@ddieter603]

@@WoefulMinion I'm so sorry for your loss, Mx. Minion. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things we will ever deal with.

[@Disflop]

You are an amazing family, in more ways than one. Thank you so much for all your hard work and the dedication you all show.

[@stephsims1907]

So much talent in one family, completely amazing !

[@lonica966]

Absolutly wonderful the three songs I love very much you harmonise very well. Just love the live version of see my face well.done all.of you

[@MartinWinter-w8i]

OMG! I grew up with Simon & Garfunkel at their inspirational best. That was just amazing. You really do get better and better with every song release.

[@SteveRawcliffe]

You can definitely hear that Danielle grew up hearing "Bridge Over Troubled Water"!

[@karonmalingo5798]

What a honor to be with you on your musical journey. You are going from strength to strength. Cheers.

[@CRyan71]

Wow. Splendid. Hopefully the start of live performances and tours. I'd pay to see you guys. Love from Ireland.

[@MartinWinter-w8i]

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.

[@shirrepoffer]

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.

[@gillianarmstrong955]

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed the first and third songs, especially. That third song was really moving.

[@GreenlaneStud]

Such a talented family, as always a delight to listen to.

[@carolbibby3055]

Fantastic and so moving, especially with all that is going on in the world at the moment. How can one family have so many beautiful voices?

[@DavesProjectCorner]

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!!!! 😊

[@cm4099]

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.

[@christianestrauss8516]

So beautiful - thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@louisefrost858]

Incredible, so talented. You are bright stars in this world of darkness...keep shining! ⭐

[@DanaReno-n4u]

Thanks!

[@lauratippetts-burrows471]

Just what i needed today. Thank you for sharing! :) ❤

[@theluke2542]

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

[@dompirate]

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.

[@dylanwebb421]

So many thanks for so many reasons. Wayfaring Stranger was a reminder of the journey Patricia Janeckova has just undertaken.

[@suelee6571]

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

[@stellajanehello1582]

Stunning. The Marsh family are amazing

What abeautiful ) and multi - talented family you are. I've been following you from the beginning and am amazed at how the children have matured. Ben and Danielle, you are doing an outstanding job of parenting your children! They'll all grow into adulthood full of self-worth, with a heart filled empathy and a mind full of knowledge. Thank you sharing your God-given gifts with us.

Thanks

[@StephLloyd1990]

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

[@davip5833]

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.

[@ian1957ruth]

Your family bring a ray of light to the sometimes dark world we live in. Thank you.

[@carolynhaywood7701]

Wonderful talented family, thank you for all your fantastic songs❤😊 The last song made me cry as I have no family alive now other than my dog Coco.

[@monicaluketich6913]

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?

[@juliebrooke6099]

What a wonderful,rich sound, particularly in the second song. Well done all of you.

[@jaynebrown8203]

No other word but outstanding. Thank you.

[@themusicalscout1]

I recognised that church straight away. I went there when I was at uni!

[@horroxtube]

Wonderful! 50 years ago I was a member of the congregation at St. Mary's before training for 40 years of ministry.

[@cazwal14]

This was a very moving performance. You are all excellent. Thank you 🙏

[@jjsinger3851]

You artistry and teamwork certainly shines through in this live performance. What a joy to see you all flourishing and continuing to be such an inspiration in so many ways! Thank you!

[@gordonzug9418]

Dritter wunderschöner Song, ihr habt einen neuen Abonnenten, greetings from Germany.

[@jacquiadams863]

Bridge over troubled water. Bring it out as a single, raise money for a good cause. We would buy it in a nano second.

[@jamiebutterweck3806]

Thank you Marsh Family, and thank you Canterbury. We had a lovely stay in London, but the 3 days we spent in Canterbury were the hidden gem. I wish I could live there. I have never felt so safe or welcomed in my life.

[@JaneAustenAteMyCat]

Goosebumps listening to Wayfaring Stranger. Truly excellent performance of an amazingly powerful set of songs
