Embraceable You

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

In The Mood

Take three beautifully blended voices, arrange a collection of original and cover swing songs, add sharp dance routines and you have The Polka Dots!

Together, the girls bring you a high-energy, full-of-fun show, based on the vintage close harmony trio: From Glenn Miller and The Andrews Sisters’ classics to cheeky retro twists on more modern numbers from the likes of Meghan Trainor and Paolo Nutini. Be it together with their professional and live recorded backing tracks or supported by the 6-piece Dashes band, the girls also offer a choice of stunning costumes; from 1920’s sequinned flappers, evening dress, home-front Military and 1950’s pin-up. With a solid, smooth sound, extensive range of songs, on-stage chemistry and bewitching charisma, The Polka Dots are ready to explode onto your stage and give your event the vintage WOW factor!

Optional Male Crooner
The Andrews Sisters had Bing, and The Polka Dots are lucky enough to offer the exceptional talent of Adam Christopher-Rhys as an addition to the line-up! Together with the girls, Adam brings the smooth vocals of legends such as Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Perry Como to the party, not to mention some fancy footwork to add an extra dimension to the show!

Dotty Duo
With all the same panache and personality, we’ve created a special vintage set list for the two of us to perform; from ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’ to ‘It Don’t Mean a Thing’, The Dotty Duo are available for smaller budgets or events, to add that same WOW factor and give your guests a night to remember!

Polka Dot Solo
Whether you are looking for us to provide a vintage ambience for welcome drinks, afternoon tea, private or public celebrations, we are delighted to also offer ourselves as a Polka Dot soloist. We will work with you to create your perfect set, creating a beautifully ambient mood for your guests to enjoy.

Testimonials

Dear Stevie, The Polka Dots were just totally and utterly amazing!! The little event went like a dream and we felt absolutely privileged to have these beautiful and charming young ladies perform for us. It was an unforgettable experience which will stay in our minds for a very long time. I cant tell you how much it meant to us and I am so impressed that despite the payment misunderstanding you and the Polka Dots still went ahead with everything. What honourable business practice!!Many thanks again!
- Kia Armstrong

Many thanks for your performance during the Yeomanry annual dinner and congratulations on the quality of the acts. Your choice of songs was excellent and the dancing and singing delightful. It could not have been a better treat for the veterans present. Hope to see you again some time."

"The perfectly polished, professional Polka Dots have the look, sound and feel of the image they recreate, bringing a close harmonies forties feel to old favourites and modern numbers alike - thoroughly recommended."

"Look good, sound good, and a lovely mix of repertoire - what more could you ask for? The American GI's would have loved these girls I reckon - don't miss out!"

"Well done, you three. It was terrific and my son and daughter-in-law were both delighted. You looked and sounded great and the choice of numbers was just right. I spoke to Patrick and he was impressed, so an all round yes!!!"

“Just to say that the girls did two fabulous sets for us last night. They went down really well – music was spot on for our crowd. The party was really rocking and our friend had the party she deserved. The clearing up continues but the memories will last a lifetime.”

“Ella and The Polka Dots entertained us at our joint 60th birthday party. The whole experience, from start to finish, was professional and extremely well organised. Ella took time and care to tailor the sets to our taste and to understand how we wanted our party to be. The girls are talented and their act is slick and polished. They have a wonderful rapport with their audience. We loved the ‘40s set to get everyone “in the mood” for a party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the sequinned ‘60s set and the “locomotion train” around our garden. A completely professional service and a fun experience. Book them! You will not be disappointed!!”

“I first heard the Polka Dots a few years ago at the NEC in Birmingham and was looking for an opportunity to book them. When my daughter got engaged, I knew this was the perfect time and we even built the theme of the wedding around them. Alongside the 1950’s vintage afternoon tea theme we also wanted live music throughout the day. All our guests commented that the Polka Dots were amazing at the Prosecco and Ice Cream Drinks Reception. When the bride and groom came through the confetti tunnel the Polka Dots burst into song and made the sun shine on everyone despite the thick clouds in the sky!”
D. Lasseter, Wedding

A massive Thank You to you for the recommendation of the Polka Dots for our DDay 75 weekend, such a perfect addition to the event and very well received by our visitors who would sit and enjoy the played sets throughout the day. Whilst I walked around the arena there were lots of people enjoying the music, with plenty of positive compliments across the whole weekend, it was amazing!
K. Jarvie, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard


“Ella was professional at all times throughout the arrangement of the booking (even when we chopped and changed things) and on the night the ladies were just SUPERB! My client loved them (as I did!) and the dresses they wore were lovely!! I wouldn't hesitate to book them again!”
L. Armes, Imperial War Museum, Duxford,

“The London Gatwick and Heathrow airport set was absolutely fantastic with age old Christmas classics performed in such a unique way. The three girls (Polka Dots) looked beautiful, their tight harmonies carried throughout the shops enticing all the Christmas passengers in to the stores to see what was going on. I enjoyed this performance so much that I automatically booked the team to sing at my wedding!”
K. Walker, World Duty Free, Gatwick & Heathrow Airports

“Thanks also for all your hard work over the weekend. You guys were such a pleasure to work with and certainly a hit with visitors and staff alike – your willingness to interact with the customers was fantastic and really made the event.”
L. Young – Hampton Court Palace
