Woodwind Musicians in United KingdomSitar players in the United Kingdom include solo sitarists and sitar and tabla duos, with most acts trained in the North Indian classical tradition and able to draw on Bollywood and fusion material as well. The duo format is the more common booking, with the tabla providing the rhythmic foundation for the music's faster sections.
Most bookings are for Asian weddings and the surrounding events, including the mehndi, sangeet, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast. Beyond weddings, sitarists perform at restaurants, corporate events with Indian themes, yoga and meditation gatherings, art gallery openings, and recording sessions. Sitar and tabla players sit on the floor to perform, so it's worth arranging a raised platform with cushions if sightlines matter at your venue.
Rates for sitar players in the United Kingdom range from £55 for a solo sitarist on a shorter booking up to £600 for an established sitar and tabla duo on a longer set or travelling further afield. The average sits at £370. Solo versus duo, performance length, travel, and the act's training and profile are the main factors that move the price.
The average price is £370 (GBP), with most priced from £55 to £600. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Sitar Player | Sitar Artist
"I am beyond grateful to Vatsal Dave for the amazing Sitar, tabla and flute performance they gave at my daughter’s sangeet event which we had at a private residence. Their 2 hour Indian classical music concert brought me memories of back home in India and introduced the beauty of classical music and especially the Sitar to all the musicians who were attending including our son in law who is a musician himself. They absolutely loved hearing it. Not only does Vatsal play Sitar beautifully, he also sang a very popular Sufi song and his son sang and played his guitar which was also very special.
I am so glad they were able to perform with a fairly short notice.
Forever grateful to you!!! 🙏🏼"
