Photo of Eclectic Fusion duo Eclectic Fusion duo "The singer is something else amazing powerful vocals the piano player is also fantastic bringing energy to it." Based in Northampton, England (35 miles from Peterborough) Marie - Dfk events Photo of Kazz Khalif Kazz Khalif "Hosting Virgo Vibes at the new Queen Victoria last year was an absolute pleasure. Kazz and his team were incredibly professional, organized, and brought an amazing energy to the space. The event was a huge success, and the feedback from guests was overwhelmingly positive. It was clear that a lot of thought and passion went into every detail. We’re proud to have been part of such a standout experience, and we look forward to working with Kazz and his team again in the future.

My agency was able to provide me with this fantastic band. That evening we had identified a potential band. The next morning all was arranged with contracts signed and sealed. All worked like clockwork and the band played brilliantly. Congratulations!"

Quality instrumentation and beats. Fun-filled atmosphere throughout. Will surely have them again at other celebrations in future." Based in Norwich, England (65 miles from Peterborough) 11th February 2026 Toyin - Funeral 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 (66 miles from Peterborough) Fred rose - Live gig

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is £420, with rates from £120 to £1,500+. 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.
