Everyone was singing along and dancing. He really excelled our expectations and my guests absolutely loved him and his playlist. Great guy and would definitely use him again. A great time was had! Thanks so much" Based in London, England (45 miles from Basingstoke) 10th August 2026 Elaine - 40th Birthday Dinner party Photo of Sax by Impulse ⚡ Sax by Impulse ⚡ "I was looking for a Saxophone player for an intimate birthday dinner for my dad's 70th birthday. I found Daniel on Gig Heaven, and was skeptical because I'd never used the site before. However, Daniel was very swift in his responses and also answered all my questions on our initial call. He did a fantastic job on the day and really made the event an enjoyable one. All the guests commented on how good he was and I truly feel he made the event a huge success. I would 100% recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a Saxophone player for their event. He's punctual, reliable and extremely professional." Based in London, England (45 miles from Basingstoke) 25th June 2026 Elizabeth - Birthday Dinner Photo of Tom Olsen Tom Olsen "Tom was great! Had lots of compliments on how well he added to the ambience of the event!" Based in London, England (45 miles from Basingstoke) 6th January 2026 Angelina C - Client. (Encore Musicians Then.) Photo of Zukira Duo Zukira Duo "Hi Abbie and Gavie, I want to thank you both so much for being absolutely amazing at Ellie and Charlie’s wedding on Sunday. You played so beautifully and created such a wonderful atmosphere. It could not have been more perfect. When I heard you on Radio London, all that time ago, I knew that I wanted you to play at Ellie’s wedding. Well, how right I was. I can’t imagine anything better. I’m only sorry that I didn’t get a chance to have a chat with you on the day. It’s remarkably hectic being mother-of-the-bride! I hope that you were well looked after and managed to get something to eat. The rest of the wedding was equally wonderful and we are all still floating on air. Many thanks again for making the wedding so special." Based in London, England (45 miles from Basingstoke) 27th December 2025 Gill F - Wedding Photo of Emmanuel Ayodeji Emmanuel Ayodeji "We had the pleasure of having Emmanuel perform at our recent event, and it was nothing short of fantastic! His talent and energy brought an incredible atmosphere, making the event truly memorable. The music was beautifully played, adding a touch of elegance and excitement to the celebration. My dad absolutely loved it, and all our guests enjoyed the performance. Highly recommend Emmanuel for any event—professional, engaging, and a true musical talent. Thank you for making the night special!" Based in London, England (45 miles from Basingstoke) Chris - Dad 65th Birthday Party

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring African entertainment is £420, with prices from £65 to £1,900+. 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.
