The Belles in concert

One of the highlights of being in Sydney was the opportunity to see The Belles in concert - I went to school with Sacha (on the right) and she's good friends with Fiona still. She and two friends sing 40s and 50s style close harmony similar to the Andrews Sisters. They had a brush with fame earlier this year when they entered onto Australia's Got Talent. They didn't make it to the semi-finals but the publicity has resulted in a raised profile and more engagements. They don't often do public concerts as most of their concerts are corporate or private, but they put on a showcase at Raval in central Sydney for the public to attend - it was great fun! Technically they are really impressive and they love what they're doing. The concert also included a Hawaiian band and also a burlesque dancer who had a routine with many balloons and some pins - saucy!
