About Beth Jakob

A folk / pop acoustic soloist with a flare for fun! Guaranteed to have your guests swaying (in the best way)
Singing guitarist
New Malden
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Hey! My name is Beth. I'm a singer/songwriter and cover musician based in South West London. I've been writing songs ever since I first picked up the guitar aged 11 (they've improved since, I promise!) & I love performing for whatever occasion possible. I received a degree in Music back in 2017 and have since been performing my music all over the UK - and beyond! I am a huge fan of music (believe it or not), so thrive when performing music written by others too. Suggest a song, I'd be happy to learn it - maybe even personalise it towards you.... Who knows.... Although I play solo, I provide a wide range when it comes to performance. If you're wanting slow, chilled, grab your lover vibes?.. I've got you! Get the crowd on their feet dancing and clapping...? Lets do it! Background noise whilst your guests chit chat away...? Perfect! I'd love to help make your occasion as special as possible, so please do let me know any requests of music you might be after hearing. I really look forward to chatting with you!

Beth performed at our wedding, during the ceremony and the welcome drinks. We were so happy, not only with the performance on the day but the communication on the lead up to the event. We had lots of compliments on the music and how friendly Beth was. We will definitely be recommending Beth to our friends and family.

Beth was outstanding - I’m so pleased we found her for our garden party. She was punctual, organised, a beautiful performer and just exuded warmth. We can’t wait to have her back again and several guests took her details too.

We booked Beth for a gig at the pub for a work party and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so professional and listened to all the song choices that we wanted. Her voice is simply stunning and we loved her so much we have booked her to sing our first dance song next year at our wedding

We hired Beth for our wedding this year and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. She truly went above and beyond for us on our special day and exceeded all our expectations. Not only is she a beautiful musician, but was such a pleasure to work with and made our day not only memorable, but incredibly personal. She really got to know myself and my husband personally prior to the wedding, along with the plans of the day, so she could ensure she played her part right - which she most definitely did. I cannot stress enough the importance of the musician throughout the wedding day. They are certainly the ones who set the entire scene for the bridal party and guests. Almost all our guests have since asked us for Beth's information, as they were beyond impressed with her and want to book her in for their own events! We approached Beth with the task of creating an acoustic version of our song to perform for our first dance. It was certainly a big ask, as the song has no existing acoustic covers and therefore hard genre to change. However, Beth accepted the challenge and gave a performance neither us, or any of our guests will forget. She blew us away and there was not a dry eye in the house. Her attention to detail is second to none and dealing with her was such a pleasure. She truly makes you feel as though you are her only priority - which as a bride, is exactly what you need - and fills you with such confidence in both her abilities and your wedding day. Wedding planning can be stressful, however Beth made it so easy. Out of all the musicians available, we most definitely made the right choice with her and encourage others to do the same! We are excited to see Beth again this summer at our friends wedding! Thanks ever so much Beth for your organisation, professionalism, friendship and above all, talent. The Garnants x

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically. I can also provide a PA system too.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc
