Live music

Birthday parties, Weddings, corporate events

As a duo with a guitar and two voices, Scarabaeus (the name stands for "lucky beetle") create a great atmosphere and get your guests in party mood. The Scarabs play a colourful mix of evergreens of pop, rock and country music, songs that are among the most beautiful hit parade classics. Melodic own songs complete the programme.

The repertoire, which lasts several hours, includes songs by the Beatles, Bee Gees, James Blunt, CCR, Jimmy Cliff, John Denver, Amy McDonald, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Simon & Garfunkel, Sting, Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones, Sunrise Avenue, Robbie Williams... and many more. Repertoire list

Our music appeals to a wide audience and is divided into numerous blocks. With performance pieces of 15 to 40 minutes each, we ensure a pleasant embedding in your festive programme.

  • Aperitif sound: welcome atmosphere with a blend of gentle and upbeat songs from the hit parade lists of the last decades
  • Dinner music: subtle sound, candlelight songs and melodic ballads with great two-part vocals
  • Party songs with happy-go-lucky music - dance blocks and a colourful mix of well-known hits to bring the house down and get the party going!

PA system / sound equipment

The duo will provide instruments and the complete music gear: PA speakers, mixer, mics, technical accessories. The Scarabs have various music systems that guarantee a customised sound for every location. The volume is at no time intrusive. Our sense for the right sound system – always pleasant, never overpowering - is on every occasion very appreciated.
