Photo of Deep Down Brass Deep Down Brass "What a great band to have at my 50th party. From the initial booking, through finalising set lists to the performance was easy. As a customer, I felt listened to. The performance itself was brilliant and well admired by all the guests and the staff at the location! If you have a special event then get in touch with the band as they will elevate anything from the ordinary to the extraordinary!" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) 6th May 2026 Charlotte - 50th Birthday Party Photo of Christina & Harry Acoustic Duo Christina & Harry Acoustic Duo "Christina and Harry are fantastic talented musicians who made our small evening wedding reception absolutely brilliant fun. Their performance of our chosen first dance song was pure magic and made it extra special. Whether you're looking for some background music for an event or full on party live music we can't recommend them highly enough." Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Jenny & Tim - Private Wedding Photo of m-SAX m-SAX "Mark was absolutely brilliant would definitely recommend! ♥️" Based in Sheffield, England (32 miles from Derby) 12th October 2026 Jennifer C 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!"

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for roaming musicians ranges from £120 to £1,450+, with an average of £370. Rates depend on the musician's experience, performance duration and the instrument involved. Roaming musicians move freely among guests rather than playing from a stage, creating an interactive, intimate atmosphere.

The roaming musicians for hire include a wide range of instruments suited to mobile performance, such as violin, guitar, accordion, saxophone, ukulele, steel pan and various string and brass instruments. Many perform solo or in small groups.

Hiring roaming musicians is ideal for wedding drinks receptions, corporate networking events, garden parties, restaurant entertainment, festivals and cocktail hours. A roaming musician creates an intimate, personal atmosphere by performing directly among guests.

Most roaming musicians perform acoustically without any amplification, which makes them extremely versatile and suited to venues of all sizes. For very large or noisy spaces, some musicians may use a small portable amplifier. It is advisable to discuss the venue with the musician.

Most roaming musicians perform for one to three hours, depending on the event. Roaming performances are often booked for specific segments such as a drinks reception or dinner service. Gig Heaven recommends discussing the event schedule to agree the best timing.
