Let me disclose from the begining that - from my point of view - Monique is the best female singer we'e ever had in this small country! I saw her first time at her debut concert in Kridthuset in Copenhagen on 7. May 1992, and I have followed her closely ever since. No-one else in Denmark has a voice like hers, and we have to go abroad to find female artists at her level, Tina Turner, Oleta Adams, Anastacia and dare I mention Aretha Franklin, too? So It's a must for me to see Monique whenever she performs within the capitol area - even if its as a solo artist backed by a big band orchestra.
I must admit that big band music is not included in my favorite music style! Anyway, with Monique in front I don't care if it is an opera, a death metal band of a bagpipe orchestra backing her, I would enjoy it anyway!
In Tivoli she sang with Bobo Moreno and on lead guitar in Tivoli Big Band, we saw Søren Sebber, with whom Monique has a duo, and the two of them offers a show together, playing old 1970's / 1980's hits.
