Acoustic Musicians in the South West

Acoustic musicians across the South West

Finding the right acoustic musician is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the South West, from Clifton, Gloucester, Falmouth, Salisbury, Bath and Plymouth, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for drinks receptions, dinners and relaxed parties.

Our listings for the South West take in Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Popular venues across the region include Old Down Manor, Elmore Court, Tredudwell Manor, Larmer Tree Gardens, Brympton House and Huntsham Court. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

The category covers acoustic soloists, duos and trios playing unplugged pop, soul and folk. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here covers the South West, and travel and any amplification are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

What to know:

  • Budget £350 to £1,400 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes travel and any amplification
  • Travel within the South West is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The South West is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.

Expect to pay from around £350 up to £1,400 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes travel and any amplification, so nothing is added later.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“Hi. We would like to record our appreciation to Declan Daniel for the music he played at our wedding reception last Saturday. Many of the guests commented on the quality of his playing and there is no doubt that Declan's music added a very special ingredient to our special day. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes for his musical career. Many thanks also for a very efficient service. Best wishes”

“I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.”

(5)

“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the amazing performance the band did on Saturday. Honestly, it was one of the highlights of the day and we were absolutely delighted. We couldn’t have asked for a better band - you guys were fantastic. Please let me know if you ever need a reference because we would love to recommend you guys”

“Hi De La Duo, THANK YOU!!! The day feels like a bit of a blur if I'm honest but one of my clearest memories was walking down the aisle (rather quickly oops) and hearing you playing. It was beautiful. John and I have received so many compliments about you guys. you truly were a highlight of the day! All the best, Charlotte and John x”

“Before the event Dave did everything possible to work with us and make sure that it all went without a hitch, which was much appreciated. He and the rest of his group were friendly and professional throughout, and our guests loved seeing the joy they so clearly get from what they do. We hadn’t tried jazz at our hotel before, but it went down really well and we received lots of great feedback.”

(5)

“His vast range of musical talent shone through and was picked up on by the feedback from the guests most of whom had never heard Jack play before. A special thanks to Jack also for learning a very special song for our first dance it meant a lot to us. He is so versatile in what he can play that we would not hesitate in recommending him for your special day. …”
