Having achieved international acclaim and sold over 30 million records worldwide, Marc has become an icon & influence to a generation of musicians. Still much in demand, with a sold out tour in 2010 and a ‘hero’ award from Mojo magazine, Marc will be judging two dance competitions and giving out prizes.
