Kim´s voice is beautiful; she adds unique quality and versatility to the songs she performs. I love the way Kim really connects with her audience. Whether the songs are up tempo or ballads, Kim always manages to put them down perfectly."

Their music was perfect as background entertainment during conversations, while at times becoming delightfully upbeat and swingy. They were not only great to listen to, but also nice to watch — they clearly enjoyed performing, and that energy was contagious. A stylish and memorable addition to the evening that fit the occasion perfectly." Based in The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands (139 miles from Cologne) 7th May 2026 Carlijn Oosthoek - Christmas party

Frequently asked questions

The average price for accompanists on Gig Heaven is €300, with rates from €95 to €750+. Cost varies based on the musician's experience, the length of the session and the instrument involved. Accompanists support solo vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs and other performers, and those with specialist skills or extensive repertoire may charge more.

The accompanists for hire are skilled musicians who provide musical support for singers, instrumentalists, choirs or other performers. They typically play piano or keyboard, though some specialise in guitar or other instruments. Accompanists are commonly booked for weddings, recitals, auditions and religious services.

Common events for accompanists include wedding ceremonies, church services, vocal recitals, auditions, rehearsals and other events where a singer or performer needs live musical support. Some accompanists also provide solo background music for drinks receptions and dinners.

Most accompanists are experienced sight-readers and can learn or prepare specific pieces for an event. It is advisable to send any music or song requests in advance so the accompanist can prepare. Many are comfortable working with a wide range of musical styles.

Most accompanists who play portable instruments such as guitar will bring their own equipment. Keyboard players typically bring their own instrument, though some may prefer to use a piano if one is available at the venue. It is worth confirming instrument and equipment arrangements when making an enquiry.
