Based in Palermo, Sicily, Italy (161 miles from Mellieħa) Christopher Goddey - Wedding, concert's, festival Photo of Jack | International DJ & Music Director Jack | International DJ & Music Director "When we first booked Jack Rooster, we thought we were hiring a DJ. What we actually got was a Music Director, trusted advisor, problem solver, coordinator and an incredible partner throughout our entire wedding journey. From the very first planning call, Jack took the time to understand not just the music we liked, but the atmosphere we wanted to create for our families and friends. Over several months of preparation, he helped us think through every important moment across both days, from the Nigerian traditional ceremony to the wedding ceremony, aperitivo, dinner, formal moments and the party. What impressed us most was the level of preparation. Every entrance, transition, performance, cue and special moment was carefully considered. Jack coordinated seamlessly with our planner, live performers, sound team and suppliers, ensuring that everything felt effortless on the day, even though we now know how much work was happening behind the scenes. The music itself was perfect. He somehow managed to bring together guests from different countries, cultures and generations and keep everyone engaged throughout the weekend. Whether it was the traditional Nigerian elements, the romantic wedding moments, the live performances, or the packed dancefloor later in the evening, every part felt intentional and perfectly timed. Several guests commented that it felt less like a wedding and more like a beautifully curated experience. What stood out most was the trust we felt throughout the process. We always felt that Jack genuinely cared about the success of our wedding as much as we did. His professionalism, attention to detail, calm presence and ability to read a room gave us complete confidence from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone planning a destination wedding, luxury celebration or special event. Thank you, Jack, for helping to create memories that will stay with us and our families for a lifetime. K & D Catania, Sicily" Based in Rome, Latium, Italy (422 miles from Mellieħa) 6th October 2026 K & D Photo of Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion) Christos Adamidis (Maisha Percussion) "Incredibly talented and great guy! Christos played percussion alongside our DJ and a saxophonist at our wedding. Despite little prep time and a bespoke playlist from us, Christos’’ percussion was an amazing addition to the DJ and really got the party started - playing alongside a range of music from blues / disco to house music. I also have no doubt Christos would’ve been a great choice to DJ himself alongside his percussion and would definitely recommend for any similar events. He is also a great guy and built a great connection with us and all our guests. Highly recommend!"

Everyone was thrilled with the energy and music that he brought and were talking about the party for weeks afterwards. Amazing DJ."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring African entertainment is €600, with prices from €80 to €3,250+. Pricing depends on the number of performers, the style of music and whether the act includes dancers or additional instruments such as djembe, kora or talking drum. African entertainment spans a wide range of traditions, so the type and scale of the performance are the main cost factors.

The African acts on Gig Heaven include a wide range of performers such as drum groups, dance troupes, Afrobeat bands, marimba players and traditional musicians from across the African continent. Many acts combine live music with dance and audience participation for a vibrant, high-energy experience.

Hiring African entertainment is popular for cultural celebrations, weddings, corporate team-building events, festivals, school workshops and community events. The high energy and interactive nature of many African performances makes them suitable for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Many African acts offer drumming workshops, dance classes or a combination of both as part of their booking. These interactive sessions work particularly well for corporate team-building days, school events and festivals. It is worth discussing workshop options with performers when making an enquiry.
