The Quokkas

The act

A few surprises in the song choices help keep an evening interesting with The Quokkas, whose wedding performances have an acoustic character. The trio uses two acoustic guitars, two voices and drums played with brushes, with harmonies a prominent part of the sound. Listeners have commented on the variety of their repertoire, giving you a reason to discuss the different musical directions you would like to include. You might most want to hear that combination as everyone gathers for drinks after the ceremony, with time to enjoy the harmonies and discover the next song together.

Good to know

What to expect

Three players, though it doesn't sound like three. Two acoustic guitars and two voices carry the songs, and the percussion is a single snare and cymbal worked with brushes rather than a full kit. That combination gives the trio a bigger sound than the gear list suggests, and it keeps everything acoustic in feel even when the volume comes up.

On the day

Quality sound and lighting gear travels with the band. The setup bends a long way in either direction, from something you can talk over comfortably to a genuinely full sound, so the useful thing is to tell them which end of that you're after when you get in touch.
