Meet the Belles
Every story needs a beginning, and this one began in 2015 when three belles from the Midlands, united by a love of vintage and vocal harmony, decided to share their musical talents with the world - and the trio was born! Affectionately named 'The Midlands' Sweethearts', this fabulous retro girl group will dazzle you with bundles of charm from a bygone age!
The Belles perform nationwide and overseas, and have sung at some of the largest and most popular 1940s and vintage events. They are available for all types of event including weddings, birthdays, afternoon teas, anniversaries, wartime weekends, corporate events, hotel & restaurant entertainment, vintage fairs, themed events...the list is endless!

Alex
Our brunette Belle, Alex, has many strings to her bow! Trained in Vocal Health First Aid and Voice Rehabilitation, Alex’s extensive knowledge ensures our voices stay in tip-top condition.
With a passion for teaching and inspiring the next generation, Alex is principal of ‘The Voice Academy’.
Alex’s performing highlights include singing at Dame Vera Lynn's memorial concert at Westminster Abbey, meeting and performing for veterans at Chelsea Flower Show's D-Day 75 Memorial Garden, and experiencing Goodwood Revival while performing for BMW in 2023.
Alex’s vintage icons are fellow brunettes Judy Garland and Audrey Hepburn.
Beth
Affectionately known as 'the Captain', Beth is our spokesperson and is also responsible for creating all of our gorgeous three-part harmony arrangements!
A huge lover of Musical Theatre, Beth has performed leading roles in classic shows 'West Side Story', 'South Pacific' and 'The Sound of Music' to name just a few! Beth was also fortunate enough to feature in the West End Ensemble in 'Musicals: The Greatest Show' filmed at the London Palladium for the BBC.
Being a huge fan of 1950s musical films, Beth's vintage icons are blonde songstresses Mitzi Gaynor and Betty Hutton, who played characters with 'gumption'!
Carrie-Anne
Our ravishing redhead, Carrie-Anne, is no stranger to the vintage stage, having been performing the music of the 1940s and 50s for over ten years!
More at home in slippers than stilettos, you'll usually find our self-confessed 'Grandma' of the group backstage sipping on a cup of tea!
Carrie-Anne's vintage icon is the stunning, fellow-redhead Rita Hayworth, the top pin-up girl for GIs during the Second World War.
Carrie-Anne's performing highlights include featuring on prime time TV in the BBC's 'Frank Sinatra: Our Way' and entertaining in beautiful places all over the world including the Caribbean.
