5/5 from 184 reviews
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 (43 miles from Oxford) Karri - Wedding (DJ, sax and percussion duo) 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 (51 miles from Oxford) Chris - Dad 65th Birthday Party Photo of Sergio Drums Sergio Drums "Sergio was a big part of the Gravey live setup for a few years. Always super solid, easy to work with, and brought a proper spark to every show. Whether it was a packed venue or a mid-week dive bar, he gave it everything. Total pro without ever taking himself too seriously." Based in London, England (51 miles from Oxford) Nick – Guitarist, Gravey Photo of Sebastian Fernandez Drums Sebastian Fernandez Drums "I want to take a moment to highlight Sebastian, our dep drummer. Having worked with him closely, I can confidently say he is always well-prepared and rehearsed with the songs. His reliability and professionalism are truly commendable, as he consistently brings a strong understanding of the music to every performance. His dedication and readiness make a significant difference to our band, and I truly appreciate his hard work and commitment. I wholeheartedly support him and look forward to making more music together !" Based in London, England (51 miles from Oxford) Celebrity (Band) - Live Music Venue Photo of Yohane-Liam Osafo Yohane-Liam Osafo "It was truly an honour to have Yohane play the violin at our marriage proposal, he truly is very talented and all of the guests said the same. He was punctual, professional and accommodating to all of our needs. The proposal would not have been the same without him and I would highly recommend him for any gig :-)" Based in London, England (51 miles from Oxford) Dennis Boateng - Marriage proposal 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 (51 miles from Oxford) Dan Oneils Music (Commercial events)

Many drummers specialise in performing live percussion alongside a DJ set, adding a dynamic, visual element to dance music. This combination is popular at weddings, corporate parties and club events. It is worth discussing this format with the performer when making an enquiry.
