Photo of Nell Violinist Nell Violinist "Nell played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and her playing really set the tone for the day. Beautiful classical music for our ceremony and more up beat music for our reception. We would highly recommend her!" Based in Matlock, England 26th August 2026 Molly & James Photo of Glenn Sharp - Flamenco & Classical guitar Glenn Sharp - Flamenco & Classical guitar "Glen arrived on time and gave us and excellent and varied performance of Spanish and classical guitar music as a background to our event which was rather nice and created a pleasant ambiance not being intrusive to our enjoyment." Based in Manchester, England John Halton - Diamond Wedding Anniversary (Spanish guests attending) Photo of Reggae Winehouse Reggae Winehouse "I got an all-clear result from my PCR Test yesterday, so last night I ventured out to the Jam House to see how much the Brummie music culture had advanced during my almost 2-year absence. Last nights gig was a new venture called Reggae Winehouse a Brummie band with three vocalists doing Reggae versions of Amy Winehouse's repertoire. I liked the idea, and so did a lot of other Brummies who turned out to make a fantastic night. I am old enough to remember when the Windrush Generation started to arrive in Brum bringing their love of music and enjoyment with them. A few of that generation were present last night along with their grandchildren. By the time that the second set started the Jam House was bouncing around St Pauls Square and you couldn't tell the difference between the multiple ethnicities on the dancefloor, we were all just Brummies filled with Joy. I semi walked semi danced on my way home in the early hours, thinking to myself how lucky I am to be a Brummie. The Jam House did our City proud last night, and after 10 years I finally saw the lead singer I always knew was in there. Take a bow Leonie Smith and the rest of your brilliant band !! #nuffsaidfred #ILuvMyCity" Based in Sutton Coldfield, England Fred rose - Live gig Photo of Flat Cap Brass Flat Cap Brass "The band were a large part of what was a perfect day long in the making, but ended up turning out better than we could have possibly hoped for." Based in Leeds, England Jane - Wedding Photo of Flamenco guitarist Flamenco guitarist "What can I say Chris was absolutely amazing, we were looking for a guitarist to play at our Spanish themed evening we’d organised at our bar and Chris was perfect for our event ! Everyone commented on how brilliant he was , we will definitely be booking Chris again.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is £420, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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