The Babybelles

The Babybelles are a versatile and dynamic professional singing duo from the heart of Berkshire.

Gaining rave reviews and positive acclaim for their accomplished live performances, The Babybelles have been performing together for over five years with a unique take on a well known song and a repertoire that literally runs into the hundreds.

The Babybelles offer a professional quality performance at fantastic value for money. Ideal for weddings, birthday parties, black tie functions and even small intimate ceremonies, their stunning acoustic take on the songs they choose is marked by their remarkable two-part vocal harmonies and highly accomplished guitar work.

Choosing superb songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, right through to the present day, The Babybelles know how to create that "big" sound ideal for Friday or Saturday night entertainment - or choose smoother songs for a soulful, toned down weekday set. It's also worth noting that the girls prefer to keep their sound 'live' - so you won't find any backing tracks or pre-recorded material at one of their nights - what you see and hear is pure live acoustic entertainment with more than a splash of sophistication!

Experience an evening of spellbindingly good music with a real 'wow' factor - this is pure acoustic entertainment at its sweetest and best.


"I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for Saturday night. You were both amazing, played the right mix of songs and judged the audience fantastically. Thank you for making my night so memorable." - Karen, Berkshire, July 2011

Best wishes and thank you again.”

"The Babybelles were without doubt the perfect choice for our event. On top of being two very talented performers with a fantastic sound, the band were able to read the room and tailored their set to suit perfectly throughout. With some of the best cover arrangements I have ever heard their repertoire is both recognizable and credible, which is not an easy thing to find - we were delighted. I won't think twice in booking them again."

"My husband and I used The Babybelles for our wedding renewal ceremony this year. We wanted a very special and bespoke arrangement for the day, which I admit could be difficult to achieve. I'm delighted to say that The Babybelles were an excellent choice.

The band, The Babybelles, were simply perfect and wonderful. They helped make our day very memorable and all of our guests commented on how brilliant they were and lovely the music was. They played all the songs that we'd chosen beautifully and even recommended some other song choices of their own, which were also perfect for the occasion. I know that after hearing them play many of our guests are now considering booking The Babybelles for their own events!
The day and the music was exactly as we'd imagined and hoped it would be. It was simply magical and we're so pleased that we found The Babybelles for our special day.”

“We have used the services of 'The Babybelles' as duo singer/guitarist entertainers on our passenger fleet. We have a multitude of musicians and entertainers on our books as our customer base is extremely diverse. We found Gloria and Odette to be extremely professional and very popular with the guests. Their refreshing outlook and versatility across and huge spectrum of music has always been very well received. We would not hesitate to recommend them to, not only our customers, but to other agents and potential booking parties. We are including them in our 2010 entertainment portfolio and are making several bookings for some ongoing events that we are launching. We wish them every success for the future.”

“Wherever possible, we make sure The Babybelles are our first recommendation to our clients when considering wedding parties or function bookings at our venue. We consistently get great feedback from our clients and often get repeat bookings where they demand to have the girls back. They are a great asset to any party. The girls look good, sound good and are nothing short of professional at every performance. They also make sure the entertainment runs smoothly from start to finish without a hitch and as such, I simply cannot recommend them on a corporate level highly enough.”

“Gloria and Odette have been playing at our music venue The Old Ticket Hall in Windsor every Sunday for nearly a year; the night has now become a recognised live music night in Windsor. Over the course of the residency they have developed a core of regulars. Towards the end of the night, I look around and see smiley happy faces and even a few singing along. They play from a wide repertoire of songs; including favourites from the Eagles, Mary Mary, Sting, and a classic anthem they perform to rapturous applause 'Janis Joplin, "Another Little Piece Of My Heart". The girls create a magical effect which I believe is a result of their combined years and varied experience in the music industry. They play classic acoustic songs that compliment their vocal range generating a very warming vibe in our bar, which also has a drawing effect on curious passers by.
I regularly have customers compliment us on the quality of the live music - in particular there have been several instances where newcomers to the night have enjoyed it so much they have bought friends along in subsequent visits."

- Colin Campbell, Director, Old Ticket hall, Windsor
