Among romantic styles, The Half Quartet perform accessible
and entertaining music, largely in a Jazzy Style
that is unique, fun and also evocative, to a high standard;
The Half Quartet can perform at various aspects of your
wedding.
Based
in the South West, The Half Quartet has a substantial track
record of performing for weddings in
Devon & Cornwall, amongst a plethora of public performances
too.
Potential choices of popular sections
of the wedding you may like to consider:
1 After the ceremony and before the wedding breakfast
2 During the ceremony (before, during & shortly
after)
3 During the meal (wedding breakfast)
or of
course a combination of the above.
As a
duo, the sound is quite full and textured and is ideal for
creating a memorable atmosphere.
If preferred the duo may also expand to a trio or quartet.
This provides a slightly livelier sound which may suit your
taste.
The
length of the performance is set at two hours, but of course
we can negotiate other alternative durations;
this will also include breaks and all equipment is provided.
We have
performed regularly in many, if not most, of the venues in
Devon and Cornwall and therefore familiar with the
procedures for each place.
We have good relationships with the venue staff and can
therefore advise on the appropriate practice and ideas for
your wedding and of course the music choice for the
ceremony.
-
On
the day we arrive between 30-60 minutes before agreed
start time.
-
We
wear dress smartly in suited attire.
-
We
require watering and feeding too
-
The performance is subject to contract.
Please
do not hesitate to make contact to discuss your
requirements.

Review
Snippets
They are now
finding themselves in increasingly high demand, and
it's not hard to see why.
With Alex
demonstrating passion and panache at the keyboard
and some incredibly agile, yet seemingly effortless,
playing from Matt, the duo make a compelling
combination.
