The Wharves

The Wharves

The Wharves are a group whose sound centres on contrasting vocals from Gemma Fleet on bass and Dearbhla Minogue on guitar, set over a stripped-back rock arrangement. Marion Andrau plays drums and gives the songs a forceful rhythmic base.

Their music draws on a range of influences, including the reverberant feel of 1960s girl groups, the vocal interplay associated with The Roches, the mid-fi guitar sound of Kim Deal’s The Amps, and the narrative and structural approach of Steeleye Span’s progressive folk.
