‘3 Quinn are essentially Louise Quinn on guitar and vocals and

Bal Cooke on drums and computer. Quinn’s vocals make even the most downbeat trip hop tracks enticing. The duo have just recorded their new album (Luss) with Parisian DJ/Producer Kid Loco, and live they expand to a four piece adding bassist Stephen Westwater and trumpeter Robert Henderson to the mix for a more intense sound experience.
