Photo of Clover Irish Band Clover Irish Band "absolutely brilliant band had everyone buzzing for the day even the kids" Based in Limerick, Munster (53 miles from Tralee) Elaine Fanthorpe Photo of Saxophone and piano duo Saxophone and piano duo "We had the saxophone and piano duo playing for both our ceremony and drinks reception, and they were honestly one of our favourite parts of the day. The music during the ceremony was absolutely beautiful and made everything feel so special without being over the top. Then for the drinks reception they completely changed the atmosphere — relaxed, fun and just perfect while everyone was chatting and having a drink. So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved the music, which says it all really! They were also so easy to deal with in the lead-up to the wedding and everything on the day felt completely seamless. We’re so glad we booked them and would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married in Ireland. Aoife & Mark" Based in Castlebar, Connaught (110 miles from Tralee) 19th September 2026 Aoife & Mark - Ceremony,Drinks reception Photo of The Irish Wedding Trad Trio The Irish Wedding Trad Trio "Brilliant Trio! Hired them for a corporate event and was delighted with their performance - everyone had a good time. Appreciated their responsiveness and friendliness prior to the event. Would 100% recommend."

Walking down the aisle to Tabhair dom do lámh was a moment we'll never forget, and the tunes you played throughout the cocktail reception kept the atmosphere so lively and joyous. Your music made Emma's whole Irish side of the family very happy and gave many of our American guests their first intro to traditional Irish music - not to mention that you all sounded great too! We can't thank you enough for adding such a special touch to our Wedding Day! With so much gratitude," Based in Kildare, Leinster (132 miles from Tralee) 1st August 2026 Emma & Hunter - Private wedding Kilkea Castle Photo of Paolo Amon Paolo Amon "Paolo is simply amazing!

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is €500, with rates from €140 to €1,800+. Cost depends on the number of musicians, performance duration and the musical tradition involved. World music spans an enormous range of styles and instrumentation, so the format and scale of the act are the main pricing factors.

The world music acts include performers from a vast range of musical traditions including African, Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Caribbean, Balkan and many more. Many acts offer fusion styles that blend traditional sounds with modern genres.

Most world music acts bring their own traditional instruments, which are often rare or specialist items not readily available. For workshops where participants need instruments, these are usually provided by the performer. Gig Heaven recommends confirming what is included.

Line-ups run from a solo player to ensembles of eight or more, and the tradition usually sets the shape: some styles are built around a group of players while others centre on one or two instruments. Smaller line-ups suit ceremonies, receptions and background playing, while larger groups suit festivals and outdoor events. Supplier profiles list the sizes each act offers, and many will quote for more than one.

Many acts perform in the language of the tradition they play, and some mix that with English-language material across a set. Where the audience is mixed, performers often introduce songs briefly so the room follows what is coming. Ask at the enquiry stage if the balance matters, as it is usually straightforward to adjust.

Hiring world music suits a wide range of events including multicultural weddings, corporate diversity events, international festivals, themed parties, cultural celebrations and educational workshops. World music brings authentic cultural experiences to events and appeals to diverse audiences.

Many world music acts specialise in the music of particular regions or cultures and can provide an authentic experience including traditional instruments, costumes and customs. To get the best results, specify the cultural tradition you are looking for when browsing or making an enquiry.

Acts using large traditional instruments need more floor space than a standard stage plan allows, and some perform standing or moving through the room rather than from one spot. Performances that move need a route agreed with the venue rather than a stage. Giving the act the room dimensions and saying whether the performance is fixed or moving lets them advise on what fits.

Many world music acts offer drumming circles, dance workshops or music-making sessions as part of their booking. These interactive elements are popular at festivals, corporate events and school programmes. It is advisable to ask about workshop options when contacting performers.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
