So, How Many of You Are There?: Tales of String Quartets and Weddings Alex Averi

The 1990s and 2000s were pioneering days for the wedding industry in Brisbane, Australia. In the beautiful subtropical climate, outdoor venues were becoming increasingly popular, and were gradually gearing up their facilities to specialise in staging weddings. The entire wedding industry was booming. A vast array of increasingly elaborate fashions, props and accessories began to elevate the Big Day into an extravagantly-priced show-stopper. One of the must-haves was a string quartet serenading romantically in the background. This book recounts the hardships and the hilarity of playing for weddings around Brisbane.
