Last week, I ran a feature on 'It's a Wind Up!' – the Vintage 78 Gramophone DJ duo of Matt and Annabel. Well, I've details of a few more fabulous vintage style wedding entertainers to share with you, which include these red lipped and leggy lovelies, otherwise known as, The Tootsie Rollers.
Now really, as you can see from the photograph below, these beauties don't really need any introduction from me! …
"We are six leggy lovelies who hit the harmonies, strut our stuff and tap to fascinatin’ rhythms. Our sets are fit to burst with retro 40s classics, and we also sprinkle our magic on contemporary tunes, giving them a totally Tootsie twist.
We love the '40 and '50s – the glitz, glamour, music and moves of the era really appeal to us and are totally Tootsieliscious!"

Well hello GIRLS!!! Check you out with your fabulous vintage, high waist, red polka dot shorts!
"We met whilst performing in a production of the retro musical ‘Mack and Mabel’ and we share a special affinity for singing, dancing, smiling and beveling. We're based in London but happy to travel throughout the UK, Europe and the world!"
"‘Toots’ is used in a lot of old movies as a term of endearment or nickname. It means ‘babe’, ‘sweetie’, ‘honey’. It is the term used when the young CC Bloom tells her pianist to play in Beaches “Hit it Toots!”. We used to call each other Toots all the time and it extended itself as Tootsie, Tootsie Roll or Tootsie Roller!"
Check out these Tootsie testimonials! …
“We loved the retro cocktails, the all-singing, all-dancing 50’s girl group who tirelessly worked to entertain us with their nostalgic jingles” talktalk.co.uk
“Final act The Tootsie Rollers were well worth sticking around for. Although similar in sound to other modern all-girl Phil Spectoresque bands like the Pipettes, the way they twisted contemporary hits (“Don’t cha wish your girlfriend could bake like me?”) has already got us booking our places for their full Fringe show.” The Londonist
“Great set at the Pink Festival. Thanks girls for making it go with a swing” Pink Festival
“For the great finale The Tootsie Rollers come on stage… They sing and tap us back to the 50s, with their surprisingly powerful voices” Alternative Fringe
“It was a real pleasure to have The Tootsies entertain us, and everyone was really impressed and delighted with your performance. I do hope we can book you again” Egerton-Rothesay School
Think red lips, think leggy lovelies, think tappin' toes – think tootsie! 🙂
