Live percussion and djembe in Wallonia

From Hainaut to the province of Liège: weddings, corporate events, birthdays and club nights, in French.

Wallonia, from Pecq to Liège

In Wallonia I have played ten times since 2024, across four provinces.

Besides six nights at Ikona Club in Pecq, I have played a wedding in Wauthier-Braine in Walloon Brabant, a birthday party in Coutisse near Andenne in the province of Namur, a corporate event at the Van der Valk hotel in Liège and a company anniversary party in Thimister-Clermont.

Distances are longer than in Flanders. Tournai and Pecq are half an hour away, Walloon Brabant just over an hour, Namur and Liège an hour and a half to two hours. For those areas the mileage fee is shown clearly in your proposal. Otherwise nothing changes: a proposal within 24 hours, online signing and coordination with the DJ and venue.

Castles, hotels and country estates

Wallonia has a wide choice of castles, hotels and country estates for weddings and corporate events, from Walloon Brabant to the Ardennes. They are often large venues where a live act brings guests together on the dance floor.

  • Weddings: live percussion at the party, and if you like during the drinks reception too.
  • Corporate events and company anniversaries: a short live moment after the speeches, then the party.
  • Birthdays and private parties: the Solo or Duo Percussion package, roaming among the guests.

Practical points for events further away

For a party in Namur, Liège or the Ardennes I allow plenty of travel time so I can set up calmly. I bring all my gear by car: djembe, digital instruments, in-ears, wireless microphones and cables. The venue provides power and a safe spot next to the DJ.

For a long night or a late finish we decide together whether an overnight stay makes sense. That is included in the proposal up front, so there are no surprises later. In summer, when many parties are outdoors, I ask for a covered spot for the electronics.
