Photo of Prem Royale Entertainment Prem Royale Entertainment "Prem provided something different for my jago entrance. Two dhol players and a folk singer. Everyone was on there feet, and the dancefloor was packed full of energy. Will definitely recommend prem" Based in Birmingham, England (25 miles from Burton upon Trent) 8th April 2026 Jag - Jaggo Photo of Jord Percussion (DJ Bongos) Jord Percussion (DJ Bongos) "I've been to a few of Jord's gigs and she is an unbelievably gifted percussionist/drummer whose passion for rhythm and music shines through in every time she performs. Whether she's playing live, or collaborating with other musicians, her timing, creativity, and energy elevate the entire musical experience. I've had the privilege of seeing her perform multiple times, and each time I'm blown away by her skill, precision, and stage presence. She brings both technical expertise and a deep sense of musicality to her craft, making her not only a great performer but also an inspiring artist to work with. If you're looking for an authentic, reliable, and talented drummer or percussionist for any event, or collaboration - look no further. Highly recommended!" Based in Birmingham, England (25 miles from Burton upon Trent) Jenny Foran Photo of The Dhol Unit The Dhol Unit "OMG the best Dhol players ever. Everyone at the event was talking about how amazing they were. The way they made an entrance with the bharathi behind was outstanding. All dressed in a beautiful traditional black attire and coordinated in every manner. Even the event manager said it’s by far the best he has seen. Thank you so much for making the day even more special honestly had it not been for the lads I can honestly say it would’ve been bland. Everything arranged over the phone for the time of arrival and the lads were already there waiting. Thank you again hopefully we will meet again soon." Based in Birmingham, England (25 miles from Burton upon Trent) Mehnaz Photo of Bongo With The Flow Bongo With The Flow "The absolute highlight of our wedding in Mallorca! His incredible bongo skills lit up the dance floor, blending perfectly with the DJ and keeping everyone dancing all night." Based in Wilmslow, England (43 miles from Burton upon Trent) Marion - Destination Wedding Photo of King Konga - Percussionist & DJ King Konga - Percussionist & DJ "What a fantastic duo! They were excellent from the start, helping us create the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband and were blown away by how they interacted with the crowd, knowing exactly when to play what songs for that moment’s vibe. The dancefloor was never empty. Music has always been important to us, and I can honestly say Si and Andy made our wedding day. I have already had friends from our wedding who work within the hospitality industry ask for their details as they are a well-rounded band and make any song memorable. We highly recommend and will be booking again for future events." Based in Bedford, England (68 miles from Burton upon Trent) Karri - Wedding (DJ, sax and percussion duo) Photo of High-energy Bongo Experience High-energy Bongo Experience "Krisztian is an outstanding percussionist. He knows when to add and when to hold back. He lives in the music and respects the song. He's good at getting the crowd going and inviting the listener. What I love about him is his creativity and how he isn't afraid to try new things and mix them up. He has his own style. And most importantly, he's reliable. A 10-star scale isn't big enough for this man." Based in Harringay, England (107 miles from Burton upon Trent) Dan Oneils Music (Commercial events)
