Bethia Beadman began playing in West Country pubs and on the bandstand bill at Glastonbury. She has been in Courtney Love’s band and in psychedelic, folk rock band Circulus. She has sung in St. Peter’s Basilica, The Vatican, Rome and has worked with The Darkness' producer Pedro Ferreira. She is now recording her first album with Mike Bennett and Co. including Mark Refoy from Spiritualised and Harvey Brown (Portishead Dummy). She's also been playing some shows with The Arrows of Love and Telesterion.
Bethia has a first class honours degree with distinction from King’s College Cambridge in Sanskrit, Indian Studies and Theology. She OPPOSES the Victorian values watch on her Venus descendent and is mainly interested in the dawn of liquid gold dripping down through the disintegrating floor of this dumbfounded helpless act of being to follow the noise out the door..
"Arrows of Love song 'The Knife' featuring guest vocals from the extraordinary Bethia Beadman proved to be the highlight of the set. Clad in sparkling shoes and possessing at Diamanda Gala-esque lamenting wail, this transcended any version previously performed, never sounded so achingly fine..hypnotic viewing."

"Bethia manages to capture many archetypes in her voice, the sorceress, the crone, the virgin, the downtrodden, royalty and nobleness, all at once."
Maggie Miller, Mason Jar Productions, Los Angeles
"Distinguished by her very powerful, Marianne Fairthfull-ish voice, Courtney Love's piano player presents her own sparsely emotive, country-tinged, wilderness-straddling alt.rock in the headline slot on this bill of songwriters, acoustic bands and folktronica." Time Out April 08
