5/5 from 1521 reviews
Photo of Hans professional violinist Hans professional violinist "Hans is not only an amazing Violinist, he is an amazing person and made every step of booking a Violinist in a different country for our wedding as easy as possible. From the first video call well before our wedding, to constantly making sure we were creating the perfect ceremony/cocktail/dinner playing experience I can not stress enough how quick his responses were and how much he actually cared about our special day. Hans quickly put together a professional contract for us so all the details were set in stone almost half a year before the wedding date! Hans was able to play ANY song that we requested as well as to play a very specific piece during my wife’s walk down the aisle - timing it perfect and effortlessly all by himself. Furthermore Hans actually also helped us out with other caterers and arranged his own transport to a very remote location. 10/10 experience working with Hans through the entire process" 20th July 2026 Mikael Torpegaard - Wedding at Chateau Photo of Watusi Watusi "Watusi always FUN, professional, authentic, real, ontime, flexible, entertaining, interactive and a joy to work with!" 5th August 2026 J Towry - Party Photo of Soulwaves Band Soulwaves Band "Soulwaves, you did a grand job. Very broad range of songs for my very demanding guests. Thank you so much for making the night so special for me and my friends and family. high class service!" 20th August 2026 Kavya Iyer - Private Event Photo of Asterio • Violin Routes Asterio • Violin Routes "Asterio made our wedding anniversary perfect!!

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is £430, with rates from £120 to £1,550+. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
