Live percussion and djembe in Flemish Brabant

Club nights, galas and weddings, from the Pajottenland to Zemst and Scherpenheuvel.

Flemish Brabant: clubs and galas

In Flemish Brabant I have played eleven times since 2023, in five towns.

Two clubs are my base here. At Willy's Moustache in Elewijt I have played four times, including a white party. At Zuco in Roosdaal I have also played four times with the LED djembe. I have also played a company party at Zaal Eldorado in Humbeek, a wedding in Averbode and the gala dinner of the Vlerick Awards at Skyhall Brussels Airport in Zaventem.

The province combines plenty of companies around Leuven, Zaventem and the Brussels periphery with rural wedding venues in the Pajottenland and Hageland. From Kortrijk I reach Roosdaal in about an hour and Leuven or Averbode in an hour and a half.

From club floor to gala dinner

In clubs like Willy's Moustache and Zuco it is all about energy: afro house, latin house and retro, with the LED djembe as the eye-catcher. At a gala dinner like the Vlerick Awards the role is different: a tightly timed live moment after the awards, after which the DJ takes over and I help build the dance floor.

The two worlds meet at a wedding or staff party: stylish first, then all-out. Read more about gala and kick-off or clubs and festivals.

Late club nights and early galas

Flemish Brabant shows how different my nights can be. At Willy's Moustache and Zuco my set usually starts around ten or eleven at night, when the club is full. At a gala like the Vlerick Awards the live moment comes much earlier, right after the awards, and I play on a big stage next to the DJ.

That experience helps at every party: I know how to warm up a room, and how to stick to a tight schedule. For a wedding in the Pajottenland or Hageland we combine both: relaxed during the drinks, full energy at the party.

Questions about events in Flemish Brabant

Question not listed? Send me a message.

Do you charge travel in Flemish Brabant?

The west of the province, such as Roosdaal and the Brussels periphery, is usually within the first 100 km from Kortrijk. For Leuven, the Hageland or Averbode a mileage fee applies, shown clearly in your proposal.

Can you play at a gala or awards night?

Yes. I played the Vlerick Awards at Skyhall Brussels Airport. I follow the organiser's run sheet and plan my sets around the awards and the party.

What about sound limiters in local venues?

It varies per venue. Ask the manager which limit applies. My digital percussion runs through the DJ mixer and stays within the same sound budget.

Do you play weddings in the Hageland?

Yes. I have played a wedding in Averbode. For rural venues I agree power, playing spot and sound in advance, especially if part of the party is outdoors.
