Punjabi Dhol players - London based Punjabi Dhol Players London | Wedding Dhol Drummers for Baraat, Indian Weddings

We require minimal setup space (approx. 2m x 2m per dhol player) and safe access to the performance area. As dhol is a live acoustic instrument, no power supply is required for standard performances.
For larger events or DJ + dhol sets, coordination with the DJ or sound provider is helpful. Parking nearby and a small waiting area are appreciated.

For traditional dhol performances, no sound system is required as dhol is naturally loud and designed for live events.
For DJ + dhol fusion sets, we work alongside your DJ or can help arrange full DJ, sound and lighting packages if required.

One of our standout performances was at the Tower of London, where we performed for a prestigious corporate law firm event. It was an incredible experience bringing high-energy dhol performances to such an iconic and historic venue.

We’ve also had the privilege of performing for major global brands and organisations including Google, NHS, CNBC and Pepsi, delivering high-impact entertainment for both corporate events and luxury weddings across the UK.

From iconic venues to packed wedding celebrations, we specialise in creating unforgettable moments — whether it’s a powerful baraat entrance, a grand reception walk-in or a high-energy dhol & DJ set that keeps the dancefloor alive.

Our style is heavily influenced by traditional Punjabi dhol rhythms combined with modern Bhangra, Bollywood and commercial music. We draw inspiration from iconic Punjabi artists and producers who have shaped the global sound of Bhangra.
Rather than one song, we focus on creating powerful live moments — whether it’s a classic Punjabi beat for a baraat or remixing popular tracks with live dhol to get everyone on the dancefloor.
