Santa Betty's

Sydney's Santa Betty's work strictly as an a cappella duo or trio, built around close vocal harmony rather than instruments. The group's professional singers and actors move easily between straight renditions of carols like Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful, sing-along favourites such as Rudolph and Jingle Bells, and looser swing takes on Blue Christmas and Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Wandering through a room works best for this format: a shopping centre, a conference foyer, or a dinner where the group moves between tables rather than staying fixed on a stage. A miked, staged set is also available for a concert setting, though the act is built as carolling rather than a long musical show.
