Based in Barnsley, England (33 miles from York) Georgia H - Pub event in Bicester Photo of Claire Holdich Claire Holdich "On two occasions I have had the pleasure of hearing Claire perform. A glorious occasion was my marriage to Angela in the church, made even more memorable by Claire’s sensitive, beautiful and faultless playing of the flute at most significant parts of our service. At our small reception she also provided very appropriate ambient music for flute which was very much appreciated by all who were there."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for roaming musicians ranges from £120 to £1,450+, with an average of £380. 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.
