Live percussionist for events in France, the Netherlands and beyond

I am based in Kortrijk, half an hour from Lille. I play all over Belgium and am available for events across the border and destination weddings.

From Kortrijk across the border

Kortrijk sits at a crossroads: Lille is 30 minutes away, Ghent 40 minutes, Brussels just over an hour and the Dutch border about an hour.

I have played more than 250 shows since 2022, spread across every Flemish province, Brussels and Wallonia: from Pecq and Liège to Coutisse and Wauthier-Braine. I speak English, Dutch and French, so coordinating with a DJ, venue or wedding planner abroad is straightforward.

For events in the Netherlands, northern France or further afield I put together a tailored proposal. See also Lille and Hauts-de-France.

Questions about bookings abroad

Question not listed? Send me a message.

Do you play in France and the Netherlands?

Yes, I am available for events in France and the Netherlands. Lille and the rest of Hauts-de-France are close to Kortrijk. For destinations further away I look at each request individually.

How are travel costs calculated?

The first 100 km from Kortrijk are included. Beyond that a mileage fee applies. For events far away, travel and accommodation are included in the proposal so everything is agreed in advance.

Do you bring all your gear abroad?

By car I bring everything, just as in Belgium. If I have to fly, we agree what travels with me and what is provided locally. That is set out in the proposal.

Can our wedding planner or agency contact you?

Yes. Wedding planners and agencies can contact me directly on behalf of their client. I then coordinate with them as the point of contact.

Can you play with our local DJ?

Yes. Send me the DJ's details and the musical direction, and we will agree the mixer connection and the flow of the night beforehand.
