The Baker Street Belles are delighted to bring an afternoon of vintage harmony and nostalgic favorites to the wonderful residents of Alexandra Mill Care Home this November.
Our performances in care home settings are specially curated to spark memories, encourage sing-alongs, and create joyful moments through the power of music. We specialize in songs from the 1940s and 1950s—the golden age of harmony that resonates deeply with older audiences—alongside beloved classics that span generations.
With our warm three-part harmonies and engaging performance style, we create an intimate, interactive experience that brings smiles, memories, and connection. From Andrews Sisters favorites to wartime classics, sing-along standards to gentle ballads, our repertoire is designed to delight and engage care home residents.
This performance at Alexandra Mill Care Home showcases our commitment to bringing high-quality live music to elderly communities across the UK. We understand the unique needs of care home audiences and tailor our performances to create accessible, meaningful musical experiences.
